Resident Glory

UV 3564/10000. Resident Glory The glory of Lebanon will come to you, the cypress, the juniper, and the cedar together, to beautify the place of My sanctuary; and I will honour and make the place of My feet glorious. Isaiah 60 v 13 The place where the feet of the Lord trod is glorious. So when we make our homes the place of His feet, we will experience serenity, power and grace of God. The glory of Lebanon was its huge trees that provided wood for the temple at Jerusalem as well as for palaces. Hence, this uni-verse is also a promise not just of victory of provision. The Lord blesses our store with abundance. The Lord will enable us to grow like the cedar and have the perfumed odour of its wood. We will provide shade and support to structures and institutions like the cypress and the juniper. We are the sanctuary of the Lord. Hence, He beautifies us, sanctifies us, perfects us. In such a sanctuary, regardless of the circumstances surrounding us, we should always be thankful, always worshipping and praising the Lord, always mindful of the Lord with every thought, breath, emotion and expression. He is the source of our resources. He is also the source of our excellence. He is the source of our vindication and honour. We should know that He walks beside us even on our most troubled days. We cannot see His feet but we can sense or feel His presence near us. The enemy sees it and takes to his feet. Since we are the living sanctuary of the Lord in two senses: one, we are living stones with which His temple is built; two, He is living in us and with us. We live and move and exist in Him. We experience His power, His love, His mercy constantly and continually. We are not only living temple and palace for Him, we are also kings and priests with Him in the sense, we rule with Him on His throne, we are seated with Him in the heavenly places. We are priests dedicated to continually worship, praise, thank and petition Him. As kings we wield authority and wage war on His behalf. As priests, we yield to His will and humble ourselves before Him. Hence, our chosen leadership model or pattern is a blend of authority with humility, compassion with gentleness, grace with wisdom. Our life chosen or preferred pattern or paradigm is a blend of happiness with holiness.
