“Covered”

Blessings Folk!

Locally, we are still under a blanket of snow...the marvelous, profound sound of silence.

In like manner, we are at peace when we are covered in the Lord and the salvation He provides…

Isa 1:18
18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord : though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
KJV

Ps 51:7
7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
KJV


The Peace of the Lord is upon those who keep their mind upon Him…

Isaiah 26:3
Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.

Again, without going into details of the science, water is interesting in that it occurs naturally in three different states - liquid, solid and vapor (gas). There are pictures to be gleaned to those who seek…

Proverbs 25
 2 It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.

God - Father/Son/Spirit
Man - Body/Soul/Spirit

The Word gives us understanding.

Hebrews 4
 11 Therefore let us be diligent to enter that rest, so that no one will fall, through following the same example of disobedience.
 12 For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
 13 And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are open and laid bare to the eyes of Him with whom we have to do.

1 Thessalonians 5
23 Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you entirely; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved complete, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

As we have been examining in recent days, Jesus offered Living Water to the woman at the well.

She chose to drink.
So did those of her community.

John 4
39 And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him for the saying of the woman, which testified, He told me all that ever I did.
 40 So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days.
 41 And many more believed because of his own word;
 42 And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.

Give heed to what the Lord is saying to you through His creation.
Learn from His Word.

Deu 29 
29 The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.

You will be amazed at the revelation, enlightenment and illumination that He has for you.

Ephesians 1
15 Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints,
 16 Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;
 17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:
 18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
 19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,
 20 Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,
 21 Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:
 22 And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,
 23 Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.

So, receive the Living Water.
Walk in revelation, illumination, enlightenment, understanding, peace and power.
Examine the treasures of snow, the blue bird, the cardinal...creation declaring the glory of the Lord.

Then, this last thought.
What adjustments is the Lord calling you to make so that such is a pattern of life?

Selah!

Blessings!
