Be Still: Listen to the God of All Creation

Ps 46:10 January 7, 2016

Now you have reached a most crucial destination. We are in the innermost place of the universe. This is where The Father sits on the White Throne ready to judge the dead and the living. Jesus sits at His right hand. We, His people, called to be priests after the order of Melchizedek, are welcome. We are welcome because of what Jesus has done for us, because the place has been sanctified, purified, and cleansed by His very own blood. His blood has made us clean before our God.

When we come before The Father we should always remember, always continue to acknowledge the sweet, wonderful, magnificent nature of Jesus. We are there because He is our friend and our Savior. Jesus comes down off His seat next to The Father’s right hand to be our sponsor before the God of all Creation. As we kneel on both knees, quietly before the throne, Jesus kneels on one knee as our mediator. Our shoulders are wrapped by His right arm, His left hand holds our head erect. In His strong embrace our feeble knees are strengthened and our hanging head is secure before God. We are without shame, there is no guilt, we need not fear. We are welcome in the hub of the universe. This is the nucleus of all things. We are in the place where actual true love, faith and hope reside without hypocrisy or lies.

Solomon saw this very vision of Christ (Song of Solomon 2:6 & 8:3) when he wrote: “His left hand is under my head, and his right hand doth embrace me”.

Now, leaning on the everlasting arms of Jesus, it is time to for a believer who knows Christ to listen up and become a true disciple. In the embrace of Jesus, at the foot of the throne, we are confident before God. The believer may now come,;not just to praise God but we have come to hear Him speak to us so that individual faith may grow. We know that the apostle Paul said in Rom. 10:17 , “faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God”.

In awesome reverence, in the fear of the Lord any aspiring priest will be thirsting after every word that proceeds from the mouth of God and will be anxious to obey His Lord and Master.

The Psalmist issued an important message from God to all saints concerning their presence in the throne room when he proclaimed: “Be still, and know that I am God.”

Now we have come before our God because we are adopted children, heirs of salvation and members of His household of faith. In the following writings in this section on how the trinity works the believer will be informed and encouraged. Jesus has proclaimed that His mother, His brother, and His sister are they who hear the Word of God and do it.

We but need to be quiet before The Father and by the Holy Spirit He will speak marvelous things to us, things which shall give us faith. He will show us how to put on the bowels of mercies, how to extend brotherly kindness; and how to look to the health and welfare of others rather than ourselves. And above all He will show us how to love one another, not as loving our neighbors as ourselves, but that we love one another with the love which Jesus has loved us.

This is the bottom line, the final command of our Father that will predominate as we sit before the throne of the universal imperator of all universes and beyond.

Ultimately His people will all hear the same command always being promoted from our loving Father; that gracious command to:

“LOVE ONE ANOTHER. LOVE ONE ANOTHER AS JESUS HAS LOVED YOU.”
