July 7th Daily Word and Visions from God

July 7th Daily Word and Visions from God
Mark 14.1-31-He will show you a spacious second-story room, swept and ready.
1 Kings 8-Give what each deserves, for you know each life from the inside (you're the only one with such "inside knowledge:!) so that they'll live before you in life-long reverent and believing obedience on this land you gave our ancestors.
Hosea 9.17-10.15-It's time to till the ready earth, it's time to dig in with GOD, Until he arrives with righteousness ripe for harvest.
Ezekiel 2.1-5-...I want you to stand up and listen.

A mail box. A place that communication arrives to a home. Much of it impersonal and just junk. But the best of which is a personal note from a friend or family. A welcome place with a few flowers and an address as a name tag. Jesus has such a special place prepared for us. A place to communicate with me. A place in the upper room. Swept clean and ready for communication and love with friends and with Jesus. An upper room where the Spirit resides and the Body and Blood of Life are freely given. An upper room that works from the inside out where God knows all about me and fulfills all my needs. An upper room where I can dig in with God. An upper room where he arrives for the harvest. An upper room where I stand up and listen or kneel down and pray. A place that communication arrives to a home. But here all the junk mail is absent and only the love of God resides. Thanks be to God for the upper room.

Lord, welcome to my upper room. Come stay a while. --- Amen
