LIMITLESS

Psalm 100:3
Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

Most of us are familiar with God the Father, for He is the
1 John 3:22 “And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight...”

PRESS TOWARD THE MARK

Philippians 3:12
Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.

          If you are satisfied with your spiritual life today, you are probably in a sad state of affairs.  Paul said about himself: "Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus" (Philippians 3:12)...

JESUS AT THE CENTER

Philippians 1:22-24
But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not. For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better: Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you.

         Paul also says, "For me to die is gain." In Phil. 1:21, Paul had said, "For me to live is Christ." But then he says, "To die is gain, but if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labor, yet what I shall choose I wot not." What does “I wot not mean? It simply means, "I don't know." "For I am in a straight betwixt two, having a desire to depart and be with Christ which is far better. Nevertheless, to abide in the flesh is more needful for you..."

COMMUNING WITH GOD

Psalm 27:4-5
One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in his temple. For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.

David desired an extraordinary experience of God. He desired to "behold the beauty of the Lord" (v. 4b, KJV). The phrase suggests a clinging, lingering, entranced gazing at God. How do you gaze at God? The psalmist wanted to see through all the acts of worship to the reality behind them. He wanted to see the face of God...

A SONG ON THE INSIDE

Psalm 100:1-2
“Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands.  Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing.”

In this devotional, I'm going to give you a few songs from the real hymn book...the Bible.  Our first Bible hymn is Psalm 100: “Make a joyful noise unto the Lord all ye lands, serve the Lord with gladness: come before His presence with singing, know ye that the Lord He is God it is He that has made us and not we ourselves, we are His people the sheep of his pasture, enter into His gates with thanksgiving unto His courts with praise be thankful unto Him and bless His name for the Lord is good his mercy is everlasting his truth endureth to all generations...”
