The place of my rest
"Thus says the LORD: “Heaven is My throne, And earth is My footstool. Where is the house that you will build Me? And where is the place of My rest?" (Isaiah 66:1 NKJV). The Lord's throne is in Heaven. It is there that He waits for you and I. He asks a question, not only to the children of Israel several thousand years ago, but to you and I also. Where is the house we have built for Him? If we desire Jesus Christ, we will place Him and allow Him to live and have dominion in our hearts. Just like the throne He has up in heaven, we also desire to allow Him to live and be enthroned upon our hearts. There is no other way to live for Jesus Christ. He must live within us. He must be in charge and rule our lives. In doing so, we draw from the fountain of living water at the altar of prayer, when we are crying out and seeking His face. Our Lord looks at those of a broken heart and contrite spirit, those who have surrendered and have given up on this world and its ungodly enterprises, and those who are willing to walk away from every passion and attraction that comes from this world. God is not looking for just another pew warmer, but for a place He can rest His Holy Spirit in. He wants a vessel who wants the best for their life and their home. Jesus is the Way, the only way to God the Father. We must follow the Way. We must become a vessel for Jesus. God bless you. Amen
