They burned your sanctuary to the ground;
they defiled the dwelling place of your Name.
They said in their hearts, "We will crush them completely!"
They burned every place where God was worshiped in the land.

Psalm 74:7-8, 12

Store up your treasures in heaven.
As long as I am doing things to further the Kingdom I need not to worry about these things. I was reminded that if I lost everything that I have right now this life is a mere blink compared to the eternity spent with the Father.
It is so easy to give the "right" answers. You know all you need is Jesus and that sort of stuff. It is a whole nother ball game when it is put to the test.
ReplyDeleteI can't help but note, in v. 12, "bring salvation upon the earth."

Knowing this, every scripture where the Lord is said to bring salvation takes on a beautiful new meaning. Jesus is all over the OT!
ReplyDeleteI wonder, if on the road to Emmaus, in Luke 24:27, when "beginning at Moses and all the prophets, [Jesus] expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself," if the apostles eyes were opened to this beautiful word key as well.
