This was an interesting dream I had while I was napping with my boys the other day. In the dream, I was rock climbing. Well, at least, I knew I was about to start rock climbing. But before I started climbing, I immediately looked up, and I saw God the Father, who is embodied in cloud form, scaling the heights ahead of me, creating new footholds for my feet and strongholds for my hands. In this way, I was able to climb with Him, so my climb was much easier. This was because He helped me and did so much of the work for me. Song of Songs 2:8-9 says this: “Listen! My Lover. Look! Here He comes, leaping across the mountains, bounding over the hills. My lover is a gazelle or a young stag…” In these verses the beloveds domain is the cliffs and mountains, where He longs to bring His bride if only she would embrace the challenges, trusting her Beloved to make things possible beyond herself.

And He shall appear on that glorious day with resounding trumpets: as the skies are rolled back as a scroll. Then, that Majestic Rider, also called by the name of Faithful and True, whose mouth is open with His sharp sword coming out defeating His enemies ahead of Him… King of Kings and Lord of Lords in written on His thigh and robe.

It is only when we remember that He goes ahead of us and prepares the way for us, can we truly live and abide in His will for our everyday lives. So take heart, reader! He has already triumphed. The battle is won. Won’t you let Him do the fighting for you? He is a mighty warrior and His name is Faithful and True.

The last few weeks, for me, have been so blessed because I have truly been abiding in the true nature of who He is, just relishing in His presence. I simply can’t get enough of Him. It is such a beautiful place to be! With Him. “Flying” with Him. I know that when I continually seek and desire His heart, He will be gracious enough to show me, piece by piece, more of His precious heart. How can I go wrong? He is such a patient teacher, and He takes my breath away. The more I know Him, the more I want to know Him more. Sometimes for me it is like this. I keep seeing glimpses of the prize. I can’t stop trying to catch more glimpses. And every once in a while I get to see much more than just a glimpse. That’s when He shows me things that are hard for my brain to comprehend. But you know? It’s beautiful, because He holds my hand through it all.
