Good morning, brother John.  When I read the meditation below, I was reminded of the people who you counsel.  If they could apprehend our Lord as He truly is, they would have no trouble giving up their sins, huh? Blessings, Terry I N F I N I T E S U P P L Y Monday, December 20, 2004 ------------- Hi Terry, Today's meditation is taken from: FEET OF BRASS by Chip Brogden http://www.watchman.net/articles/brass.html :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: "And His feet were like fine brass, as if they had burned in a furnace...  and when I saw him, I fell at his feet like a dead man... " (Revelation 1:15-17ff). When they came to arrest the Lord Jesus in the garden, He asked, "Who are you looking for?" And they answered, "Jesus of Nazareth. " He simply said, "I AM." When they heard this they fell over backwards to the ground. No one can stand before I AM and retain any of their strength.  To the ground we will all go, for that ground is holy. Every knee will bow,  and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. This revealing of Christ is sufficient to bring saint and sinner alike into absolute surrender and submission. Friends and foes alike find themselves at His feet,  quite unable to stand before Him. He does not have to raise His voice or call down fire from Heaven or do anything other than simply reveal Himself for  Who He is. Every doubting Thomas eventually cries out, "My Lord and My God!"  when they finally behold Him. We can talk about His presence and His glory and His majesty - yes,  we can even sing songs of worship which incorporate these words into the  lyrics - but we do not really conceptualize or comprehend what it means. If we really did see something of the majesty and the glory of the Christ of God we would not be so casual. We would be reverent. We would not take the Presence for granted. If we can take Him for granted they we have failed  to apprehend Him. We have not yet seen Him. We do not yet know Him. We need  to spend some time sitting at His feet. :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Infinite Supply http://www.watchman.net/daily How can you tell the difference between true and false? http://www.watchman.net/audio/ts109.html ------------- (c)2004 Watchman.Net.
