Morning by Morning, September 20 - Embrace the Time of Our Visitation
Good morning, Lord Jesus. You’re One with my Father, One with the Holy Spirit, and I embrace You as One, here in my heart, here within me (John 17:20-24). ...
“As (Jesus) came near and saw the city (of Jerusalem), He wept over it, saying, ‘If you, even you, had only recognized on this day the things that make for peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes. Indeed, the days will come upon you, when your enemies will set up ramparts around you and surround you, and hem you in on every side. They will crush you to the ground, you and your children within you, and they will not leave within you one stone upon another; because you did not recognize the time of your visitation from God’” (Luke 19:41-44).
Open the eyes of our heart, Lord. Awaken us from the slumber of our spirit (Ephesians 5:14). Now is the time of our visitation. You are with us now (Matthew 28:20). You are within us now (Colossians 1:27).
We’re not alone and we’ll never be alone. You’ll never leave us nor forsake us (Hebrews 13:5). So even when the enemy of our souls comes “to steal and kill and destroy,” building up his siege ramps against us, trying to surround us and hem us in on every side to convince us there is no escape, You arise within us and declare Your word over us that we “have life and have it abundantly” in You (John 10:10). In You, we’re “more than conquerors” over anything our enemy would bring against us (Romans 8:37). For “the Spirit of Christ,” “the Spirit of God lives in (us)” (Romans 8:9).
So today is our time of visitation. Today is the day of our salvation. “See, now is the acceptable time; see, now is the day of salvation!” (2 Corinthians 6:2). Your Word implores us, “Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts” (Hebrews 4:7).
Yes, Lord. Today, let me see You. Today, let me hear You. Today, let me embrace You in the time of my visitation.
You are with me. You are within me. Your visitation is now a habitation. Now Your Holy Spirit, Your Heavenly Presence, ever abides in me. So nothing can separate me from You and Your abiding Presence within me, no matter what may come against me. From the Promise of Your Word in Romans 8:
“What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? ... Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord! (Romans 8:31-39) In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
