Drink In: Living From A Healthy Soulનમૂનો

 Drink In

O Lord Almighty- Look to who you are trusting.  This is not a weak, timid god.  This is not a localized tribal superstition made into a tiki statue.  This is the Creator God. The God of Abraham and Isaac.  This is the God of Jacob.  Yahweh is His name.  The Lord of Hosts and the God Who Heals He is known by many.  The prophet Daniel called Him Ancient of Days.  And here God reminds us that He is Lord Almighty.

This means He is able.  Able to do what?  Able to meet every need we have.  Able to provide every comfort we require.  He is able to conquer every enemy looking to destroy.

Blessed is the man- This is a state of being.  It is very real and tangible.  To have God’s blessing is not just an internal comfort we can count on.  It will display as a capacity to rise above our dilemmas and circumstances that can often constrain us.

It is important to note that in this particular translation, the word 'man' is used as a place holder.  Realize that in God’s economy, He is not only interested in blessing men.  God wants to bless not only men-but also women, boys, and girls.  Whoever you are, God wants to be a blessing to you.  

Who trusts in You.- The bigger question is, are you able to be blessed by God?  We must choose to trust in God.  We must make a conscientious choice to lean into Him in trust.

I recently wrote a book titled, Drink In: Living from a Healthy Soul.  In this book, I share my conviction that every person has some form of leadership.  As leaders, we need to take time to order our lives to experience the presence of God.   

We leaders focus so much on self-improvement, but then we tend to ignore our hearts and souls.  In order to drink in the presence of God, it can be time-consuming.  We will most likely have to re-prioritize things in our lives.  Whatever effort it takes, it will be worth it. 

As you experience The Almighty’s presence, you will grow and you will make a huge difference not only in your life, but in the life of your loved ones and those you work with.  Your faith family will be impacted, and your community can be changed because of your commitment to allow God to pour into your heart and soul.

Pour Out

Today-stop for a few minutes to acknowledge that God is present in this moment with you.  

Today, you will encounter someone who needs God’s presence in their life.  Lift up that person and be prepared to speak into that life.
