In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the temple. Above it stood seraphim; each one had six wings: with two he covered his face, with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. And one cried to another and said: "Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts; The whole earth is full of His glory!" And the posts of the door were shaken by the voice of him who cried out, and the house was filled with smoke.
Isaiah 6:8
Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: "Whom shall I send, And who will go for Us?" Then I said, "Here I am! Send me."
Go from the gluttony of storing up the treasure (renewing; restoration) to be a vessel God can use. Reach others with what you have.
What makes us think we can do the work of the Lord and never spend time with the Lord of the work?
Revelation 4:10-11
the twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying: "You are worthy, O Lord, To receive glory and honor and power; For You created all things, And by Your will they exist and were created."
Many people are suffering with their successes because they cannot discern when to throw down their crowns and just worship.
Like the twenty-four elders, we should be willing to trade the monument for a moment with God.
When you learn to give the glory back to the Lord, you will be fulfilled in His presence and not frustrated by worshipping His presents.
Once you've made it to your destination in God, don't forget about those who are still striving.
Cast your crown at the feet of the Lord who is the giver of gifts as well as the preferred prize of all that He gives.
We as Christians reach fulfillment when we come to the point where we bring to the Lord all that we have and worship Him on the other side of accomplishment.
The blesser is better than the blessing.
Luke 17:11-19
Now it happened as He went to Jerusalem that He passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. Then as He entered a certain village, there met Him ten men who were lepers, who stood afar off. And they lifted up their voices and said, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!" So when He saw them, He said to them, "Go, show yourselves to the priests." And so it was that as they went, they were cleansed. And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, returned and with a loud voice glorified God, and fell down on his face at His feet, giving Him thanks. And he was a Samaritan. So Jesus answered and said, "Were there not ten cleansed? But where are the nine? Were there not any found who returned to give glory to God except this foreigner?" And He said to him, "Arise, go your way. Your faith has made you well."
Nothing can bring wholeness like the presence of God.
