Oh Come

“Oh come, let us worship and bow down; Let us kneel before the LORD our Maker. For He is our God, and we are the people of His pasture, And the sheep of His hand. Today, if you will hear His voice:”

Psalm 95 : 6-7 (New King James Version)

Step 1 : The willingness to come. Isn’t it interesting that we somehow can make time in our schedule for important work related meetings, for fun social events .. but when it comes to spending time in His presence we have every excuse in the world.

Ever wonder why it’s so easy to let our hearts go astray ? We read in Galatians 5: 17 , “For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish .” The flesh and the Spirit are in constant war with each other. However we need to understand “And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.” (Galatians 5:24) Wow ! we really need to get this. We who are Christ’s have what ? Crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

We read in verse Galatians 5: 16 , “I say then : Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.” If we would walk in the Spirit then its not that you ‘may not’ or ‘most probably not’ fulfill the lust of the flesh … no no no … the word of God says you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. In other words if we would walk in the Spirit then we WILL NOT gratify any desire of sinful nature !

Sometimes satan blinds our eyes that we don’t even recognize the sin in our lives. I pray that the Lord will convict us of every sinful nature in our lives and that we will surrender to Him completely that He will purge away everything in our lives that is not of Him.

Oh come :-) Amazing isn’t it . I love those two words ‘Oh Come’ . And when we walk in the Spirit we definitely come. We come together and worship and bow down to the great I AM. We kneel down before the Lord our Maker. If there are things in our life that have hindered us from coming into His presence and giving Him our very best then we need to pray and ask Him to clean us up. The latter half of verse 8 says ‘Today, if you will hear His voice:’ When ? Today !

We read in verses 8-11 , “”Do not harden your hearts, as in the rebellion, As in the day of trial in the wilderness, When your fathers tested Me; They tried Me, though they saw My work. For forty years I was grieved with that generation, And said, ‘It is a people who go astray in their hearts, And they do not know My ways.’ So I swore in My wrath, ‘They shall not enter My rest.’”” What are God’s ways ? They are of the Spirit. Do we walk in His ways ? Are we walking in the Spirit ?

“Oh come, let us worship and bow down; Let us kneel before the LORD our Maker. For He is our God, and we are the people of His pasture, And the sheep of His hand. Today, if you will hear His voice:”
