Hebrews 12:6 ““For whomever THE LORD JEHOVAH loves, HE instructs, and draws aside HIS children with whom HE is pleased.”
The Provision of HIS Presence!
What do blessings feel like which HE calls “overflowing”?
Is it health or abundance of wealth? Maybe both?
Are those valued highest (as measured by CHRIST)…
…on a yardstick which Flesh also pricelessly touts?
Sadly our definitions see much of HIS work as needlessly painful! As scars without worth!
But I tell you HIS Truths!Transformation HE brings which is far beyond value: eternally set!
Then with “turning cheek” haste and “sin fleeing” speed…may we do so to stand in HIS blessed presence!
As HIServant blessed without merit and favored though no good resides in me apart from HIS provisional blessings,

Devotional: Romans 7:18 “I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my flesh; for I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out.”
Proverbs 3:12 “For the LORD corrects those HE loves, just as a father corrects a child in whom he delights.”
Lately in my voicemail prayers I’ve been sharing that in the midst of HIS presence is the fullness of Joy.
Such provision exceeds all others, amen? The reason HIS presence is so joyous is irrefutably shown to us in Psalm 53:3.
“Every one of them has turned aside; together they have become corrupt; There is no one who does good, not even one.”
But GOD! Rejoicing IN our storms is made possible by constantly pursuing HIM through the Bible and prayer!
So may we seek HIS presence and counsel at all times;
…being expectant of HIM working all things together for our good in every storm and all situations!
Yea, guide, direct and corrects us, oh LORD!
Amen and amen!
