A permanent resident

After the fall, God would visit people. Moses and the burning bush, etc.

But God would prefer to not be a visitor in your life, but would like to be a permanent resident in your life. Emmanuel: God with us.

There's only one seat at a place where God habituates that He will accept, and that's the throne. As a permanent dwelling place, given to God to stay in your life.

Think about a guest coming to your house, and the guest wanting to sit in your favorite chair. It wouldn't be hard
To let them sit in that chair because you know they will eventually leave. But would you give up your favorite chair permanently for God?

To work on time

I had the intention of leaving to work on time this morning, but I left late because the freezing rain last night froze my door shut, and windows required heavy scraping. I was able to get in the car after some prying, and scraped a "hole" big enough to see ahead of me through the windshield (not best practice). After asking the Lord for help in getting to work on time, I arrived safely, and with a minute to spare :) Praise God!

How do you know you have a servant heart?

 Gen 39:9 One way you know walking through a field if it's ready for harvest is when it is bending towards the earth. If you want to be happy in serving Jesus there's only one fulfillment in getting true joy: how much can you give... Jesus says let me show you how my kingdom works... When he washed his friends feet Do you want to be great in His kingdom? That is how you get that position... To be a servant of all, esteem everyone better than yourself

New Wineskins

Read Luke 5:33-39 When God is doing something inside of you there will be pressure and there will be adjustment that will be required. Old wineskins can't handle the pressure. Are you looking for God to give you something new? Perhaps you're not getting it because you're not ready for the pressure. Old. Old wineskins. Dry resistant brittle not flexible...dry spiritualy, cracks easily...when the littlest things begin to crack and offend you easily... Resistant to change. Young vision. Old wineskins is not about age but about vision. One can be old in age but have a young vision... New. New wineskins. Jesus came to the Jews first. But He couldn't find many old wine skins that were willing to be renewed.
