One of the Keys!

Isaiah 33:

⁵ The LORD is exalted, for he dwells on high;
   he will fill Zion with justice and righteousness.
⁶ He will be the sure foundation for your times,
   a rich store of salvation and wisdom and knowledge;
   the fear of the LORD is the key to this treasure.

Hectic Schmectic, and very appropriate.... This week during quiet time, God gave me this scripture, it is quite apt because last week there was alot of high and low moments, really experiencing God's presence, but then falling really deeply but then Sunday (yesterday) looking back I had to say that it was good week regardless! Well thursday night at YWAM Muiz (which was awesome but no time to elaborate on this post) We were just worshiping and exalting God, all the songs were lifting him up, Jesu Phakeme,etc...And at the end of at least 3 songs we all just went silent! Previous Sunday at church we were praising God for 5 min loudly non stop...

This scripture begins with
 The LORD is exalted, for he dwells on high;

Yep that is the starting point. God is good, great, worthy to be praised, lift him up, lift up your praise, whether you do or not he is exalted!

Then
   he will fill Zion with justice and righteousness.

This has been a prayer for me, righteousness, purity, fill me Lord with justice and righteousness. Fill my family, our land, the world too with justice and righteousness.

⁶ He will be the sure foundation for your times,

This weeks earthquakes,tsunamis, so much going on, so much uncertainty and fear, in this times, God will be our sure foundation, he will be the only thing steady...Besides even natural disasters there is a lot going on, emotionally, spiritually... But he will be the sure foundation for us in our times. And even for all our days...

   a rich store of salvation and wisdom and knowledge;

Wow, a rich store, quality, abundance, of salvation (for me, for my family for the situations we find ourselves in, wisdom and knowledge) in Him I will find a rich store of salvation,wisdom and knowledge.

   the fear of the LORD is the key to this treasure.

God is exalted, He will fill us with justice and righteousness, he will be sure foundation in our times, he will be a rich store of salvation, wisdom and knowledge. What is the key to all of this...

The fear of the Lord.

May we revere, honour, hold highly in regard, may we cast down our idols, may we let God break our hearts, may we humble ourselves, May God teach us what it means to fear him so that all of this will be ours, for His glory... May we find ourselves in him.

I love the way it all begins and ends in him!
