Discover the Oasis of God's Everlasting Presence
Numbers 33:9 And they removed from Marah, and came unto Elim: and in Elim were twelve fountains of water, and threescore and ten palm trees; and they pitched there.
Oh to be in a place where there is LIFE! Out of all the places Israel migrated (and there were many), Elim was the only place given this description. However, had they been a people of obedience and faith, they would, at this point, have had places similar to this on every hand! Child of God, Canaan land is flowing with milk and honey. Why do we settle for an occasional blessing, when we can in fact LIVE in God’s presence every day? Why are we selective with the moments in which we decide to be obedient and receive His anointing for the task, when we can in fact LIVE in a state of obedience and anointing? There is absolutely no substitute or no comparison for God’s best in our lives; let us resolve to accept God’s invitation to experience His continual favor, and NEVER settle for anything less!
Psa 27:4 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.
Isa 38:20 The LORD was ready to save me: therefore we will sing my songs to the stringed instruments all the days of our life in the house of the LORD.
Psa 23:6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
Psa 92:13 Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God.
