HE WHO COMES

Psalm 118:26 (NKJV) 26 Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD! We have blessed you from the house of the LORD. 
   We find things get us excited when they exceed our expectations, for instance going to the gas station and finding gas for .50, that is enough to make you want to buy a tractor trailer load for a rainy day. Rare and maybe unlikely, it stirs the imagination to want something and find it true. For the most part humans are optimists looking for something better, seeking the next best thing, however that doesn't apply for everything.
   In most people service to God is more in the line of duty, rather than looking for the blessing God wants us to have and finding He has prepared far more than we could imagine or expect, we often find religion drudgery. Why, because our gaze is on the horizontal instead of the vertical. Jesus gives an amazing oration on things that are blessed from Gods perspective, it may surprise you that they are not what we would call blessings, because they deal with the heart the seat of who we are, or must be. Matthew 5:3-16
   The Psalmist writes, "Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord," we are blessed by what must become the focus of our lives, namely Jesus, nothing else will satisfy.
Heavenly Father we need You, we need your Presence, we need your Infilling, we need your Hand in our lives. Lord help us to look to You and nothing else, may all our thoughts be consumed with what You want to do in us. Amen
