THE LORD IS THERE

Ezek 48:35
And from that day the name of the city will be 'The LORD Is There. NLT
** I want to dwell in that city…. “The Lord is there.” I don’t ever want to be out of His presence or His will. Oh how important it is to know that God is present among us and how important that we know that He is. Living this life is worthless if it is but for ourselves and not for the Lord God almighty. But so often I find myself working hard for me and wanting to get my way. I have to keep coming back to the cross and realizing that it’s not all about me and so I pick up my cross daily and follow Him. Now I understand more and more that the cross we bear has our names written all over it. Selfishness is my middle name and I must continue to daily crucify myself to be able to let Jesus do all that He needs to do. I get in the way so many times and I think I find myself in the desert of “Me” and out of the city of “the Lord is there.” Paul said it so clear that this verse has stayed with me for years and years: Gal 2:2020 I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me…… AMEN!
