Verses for Vessels

GOD IN THE HOOD...

'I heard a voice thunder from the Throne: “Look! Look! God has moved into the neighborhood, making his home with men and women! They’re his people, he’s their God. He’ll wipe every tear from their eyes. Death is gone for good—tears gone, crying gone, pain gone—all the first order of things gone.” The Enthroned continued, “Look! I’m making everything new. Write it all down—each word dependable and accurate.” ' Rev 21:3-5 MSG

Halleuyah!! We've got a new neighbour! He lives in, with, among, about, around, and just next to us- healing, reviving, renewing, refreshing, restoring. He is here, making ALL things new. This is a prophecy about the end of time. But it can also be a prophecy that ends all vain labour and toil and tears, if we can enter its rest by faith. God is in the 'Hood.... Reach in, reach up, reach out and make Him welcome. After all, we are meant to be His dwelling place, His temple. Glory to God!

Prayer: Dear Lord, your promise to dwell among us is true and I believe it. It is not just a future I look forward to; it is also a present reality for my my life and walk with you. I surrender every tear that I have shed, and every pain that I feel or have felt, and every old way of seeing things, over to you today. Give me new eyes to see your world. Thank you for making me new in Christ and for choosing to live in me, and among my brethren. In Jesus name, amen.
