IT"S RIGHT THERE, IN FRONT OF YOU

Ever get in a hurry trying to find something, but can't? Today I was doing that very thing, hurrying to get ready so I could leave, trying to find my perfume bottle for the last touch before leaving. There were several other bottles of "stuff" sitting all over the counter and I could not SEE the perfume bottle I was looking for (although it was right in front of me)! I took a deep breath and tried to look again, only s-l-o-w-e-r ! There it was ! Right in FRONT of me! I told the LORD thank you! finished up and went on my way.

The LORD then spoke to me: "That's what happens sometimes when you read my WORD. I have something there for you, that is RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU and yet you just can't see it! You can't see it because "stuff" is in the way. You get in a hurry, or have something else on your mind, or you are just not LOOKING ! Slow down, clear out the clutter of your mind, take your time, and spiritually SEE what is in my WORD. Open your spiritual eyes to SEE the mysteries I have there for you. Come closer, draw nearer, sit a while longer, ponder and receive all I have for you. I love you and want to spend time with you in the secret place."

2 Thus saith the LORD the maker thereof, the LORD that formed it, to establish it; the LORD is his name; {the LORD is: or, JEHOVAH, etc}

2 And Moses called unto all Israel, and said unto them, Ye have seen all that the LORD did before your eyes in the land of Egypt unto Pharaoh, and unto all his servants, and unto all his land;
3 The great temptations which thine eyes have seen, the signs, and those great miracles:
4 Yet the LORD hath not given you an heart to perceive, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, unto this day.
5 And I have led you forty years in the wilderness: your clothes are not waxen old upon you, and thy shoe is not waxen old upon thy foot.
6 Ye have not eaten bread, neither have ye drunk wine or strong drink: that ye might know that I am the LORD your God."

13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Ghost teaches; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
14 But the natural man receives not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness to him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
15 But he that is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.
16 For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ."
