for the Lord is good... and His mercy endures forever... mmm... so i've been thinking... i've been pondering and just simmering under the fire of that brazen alter i've been so adamant about... and i've yet to move past psalm 23... "thou anointest my head with oil, my cup runneth over..."
now more that the picture of the Spirit... more than the ministry of the overflow... more than the outward expression of the Father calling you to a job, a vocation, God's will for your life, if you will... i ponder psalm 133 man...
"how pleasant it is for brothers to dwell in unity together... like the precious oil upon the head, Running down on the beard, The beard of Aaron, Running down on the edge of his garments."
it's more than preparation for ministry... it's us, being refreshed... it's the second wind... from the beard to the garments... overflowing... feeling the wind to refresh us from the work we've done so much...
it's an everlasting process... it's the ever poignent truth... the Father seeks to restore... refresh... anoint... use... reuse... pour out... use to the utmost... and repeat the process all over again... and as we learn to "selah" we see the Father in an all new sight... we find the Lord in that place we once were once at when we were seeking Him at the beginning... we stop scratching the surface of life, and find ourselves going deeper... actually getting past the hard clay of the top crust... and delving into the cisterns of the reserve wells that lie underneath the surface...
God is willing to make my life His... my will transformed and given over to Him... but yet... He seeks to use and reuse over and over and over again... and when i find myself in that place... His Spirit begins to refresh me... o how i need it over and over and over again... my cup... this burden... my calling... overflows with the Spirit... man... find yourselves in Him... and be driven to worship the Father... be vessels in which the Father can use to where no cracks and no marring has occurred... that we don't leak the Spirit prematurely... but on that day or when the Father calls you to ministry... you'll be ready to pour out... because you'll be already flowing out of yourself...
