The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned. 1 Corinthians 2:14.

May your unfailing love rest upon us, O Lord, even as we put our hope in you. Psalm 33:22.

This morning after a cool front, the air was so clean it glistened with the light of the sunshine clear, golden and gleaming. My heart was lifted! I was remembering those moments of clarity throughout my life when I knew God’s love touching my heart and life itself and me in it was new and fresh with the joy that can only come from God. How I pray that blessing for every heart!

In this life we live we see the tug and pull of good and evil. We think we can’t let God into our lives because to do so would be to follow a bunch of rules that bind us and limit our enjoyment of life. To what do we turn? How has that helped us in times good and bad?

Our Creator God came to this earth to be part of our very lives as one of us to show us the Father’s Love guided by the Holy Spirit always. He didn’t come to condemn. He came to save.

And in our chapter, 2 Chronicles 34, Josiah is king of Judah and he was a child of 8 when he became king. Can you imagine? He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord and followed the ways of his father David, not turning aside to the right or to the left. In the eighth year of his reign, while he was still young, he began to seek the God of his father David. v. 2-3.

To seek God. The best journey we will undertake. There is so much to learn from Him.

We have started rewatching The Chosen and last night my husband and I watched Season 2, Episode 9 titled The Messengers. It combined Mary’s remembering when she and Joseph went to Bethlehem when Jesus was born with years later when she was retelling the psalm of praise to Mary of Magdala so Mary could record it to give it to Luke. Her song of praise:

My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant. From now on all generations will call me blessed, for the Mighty One has done great things for me – holy is his name. His mercy extends to those who fear him, from generation to generation. He has performed mighty deeds with his arm; he has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts. He has brought down rulers from their thrones but has lifted up the humble. He has filled the hungry with good things but has sent the rich away empty. He has helped his servant Israel, remembering to be merciful to Abraham and his descendants forever, just as he promised our ancestors. Luke 1:46-55.

He has filled the hungry with good things and how we are hungry for the good things of our Creator God! Our deepest need and our greatest hope is our Creator God who Loves us. I pray your heart will be open to all He has for you for it is good!
