He Touched Me
Many go to church but don’t get into the presence of the Lord! In Matthew 23, Jesus was showing us that the people were weighed down with heavy burdens. They were caught up in the law - do this, do that. But Jesus was there telling the religious leaders in Jerusalem that He wanted to gather them like a mother hen gathers her chicks, but they weren't willing. They were shackled by a heavy burden of to do's instead of doing what Mary chose, the best part, just to sit with Jesus in His presence and rest and listen to Him.
Then Jesus spoke to the multitudes and to His disciples, saying: “The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. Therefore whatever they tell you to observe, that observe and do, but do not do according to their works; for they say, and do not do. For they bind heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers. (Mt. 23:1-4)
God is a still small voice. We have to take the time to tune everything else out and be quiet so we can hear His voice. We need to get into His presence.
I was awakened with the song, "He touched me," This led me into the Word of God and into His presence where I let out a lot of stress, tears, repentance and worship.
When Jesus came to save the people of Israel, many were to bound by the Old Testament to do list. They needed to break away from all that and just be a Mary at His feet, like many of the multitudes were doing. Listen to what He is telling us, and get a hold of it today..
"Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” (Matthew 11:28-30)
"Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”)... (Galatians 3:13)
We need to take the time to stop and rest in His presence and allow Him to minister too us and us to Him. Then we get refreshed and refueled and able to go forth to minister to others.
Today is Labor Day in the US, and for many, that means a day off work. This should be a time where we can bask in the warmth of His love and not be so busy. Daily, we must seek His presence first and foremost and then allow Holy Spirit to lead us from there.
Yes, Jesus is calling us into His presence where there is indeed, fullness of joy.
