Complete in Him

Every Scripture is God-breathed (given by His inspiration) and profitable for instruction, for reproof and conviction of sin, for correction of error and discipline in obedience, [and] for training in righteousness (in holy living, in conformity to God’s will in thought, purpose, and action), So that the man of God may be perfect, complete and proficient, well fitted and thoroughly equipped for every good work.  2 Timothy 3:16-17:

This scripture says that God breathed the word, so the man of God may be complete. The secrets to our success, completion and our perfection are in the Bible, His Instruction Manual.  It is a priceless, treasure of wealth and love.

Upon starting a new job, an employer usually gifts, an employee handbook or manual.  It includes everything one needs to know about the company.  It contains what is expected, how to perform the job, benefits and retirement plans.  Wouldn’t we read it before we ever started the new job?  Would we use as a guide to complete our tasks?  Or, would we think, “Got this! Know what to do.”  Would we leave the manual lying around the office untouched or take it home and leave it by the bedside? Only pick it up in case of emergencies?  God gave us His word when we joined His company.  It gives life directions, describes an unbelievable benefits package and the greatest retirement plan!  

God inspired about forty authors to write our manual. It includes sixty-six books and letters that were written over a period of about 1500 years. Holy Spirit spent time and effort into telling us all we need to know, start to finish.  Our responsibility is to study and dive in headfirst to learn about “our Company,” our Creator, CEO, and our Perfect Love.

When we read the King James Bible, the language can be a bit challenging and difficult to understand. Holy Spirit will teach, if we ask.  Other translations of the Word make it easier to comprehend.  I enjoy studying the King James alongside the Amplified Version (It “amplifies” words, bringing greater meaning to the scripture.) The online Blue Letter Bible (www.blueletterbible.org) is a great tool to use, with the click of a button we can receive the original Hebrew and Greek insights to words. The only way to fully know our God, discover his plans and purposes for life is to enter the Bible.

Begin small.  It is about commitment.  I started by dedicating fifteen minutes a day to read one devotion with scripture.  As I got hungrier, I added other devotionals and resources. Those devotionals lead me to other verses and now I follow where Holy Spirit leads.  It just like running.  We do not start with marathons.  We take one step at a time, training our way to the marathon.

The Bible is surprising, funny, sad, uplifting, enlightening, amazing and medicine to the soul.  I start every day in God’s word.  It orders my day. If do not begin with the Bible, it is like missing a dose of medicine to me.   My day will probably be a little off.  Think of it this way.  We do not usually go all day nor days without eating physical food. We starve our spirit when we go without eating the spiritual food of God’s word.   Jesus said in Matthew 4:4, “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.”

The word of God is life.  Want life enjoyed and in abundance?  Leap in, dig deep and fill up. We also do not get in a car for a long trip and depart with an empty tank.  We set out with a full tank and if it is a long journey, we fill up along the way.  How can we successfully journey through life without filling up on God?  God and His Word are one! Want to know God? Get to know His Word.  “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”- John 1:1   Want direction in life? Plug into God’s Word and let Him light up your path. “Thy word [is] a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” Psalm 119:105

I enCOURAGE and challenge you to commit to reading His word daily. The   you find will transform your life and bring salvation!   He promises, “I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go.” (Psalm 32:8) As a member of the Company of God, He desires relationship with you.  Seek him, you will find Him.

“Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”  (1 Corinthians 2:9 NKJV)

Who likes surprises?  Do you like gifts?  My sweet hubby’s birthday is October 11.  He loves gifts.  Last night, he jokingly asked Parker, “have you gotten my gift yet?” He even has a song,

“All I want for my birthday…”  When Kris gets a package, he shakes it and immediately guesses what’s in it.  He is often right. We have learned to disguise the boxes.  Truth be known, I love to give gifts.

However, our Father is the best gift giver.  1 Corinthians 2:9 tells us that we have not seen, nor heard, nor even thought about what God has prepared for those who love Him.  God is so loving that He gave us His very own son, Jesus.  He gave us life eternal.  Hidden in His word are many more gifts.   And, “God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. (1 Corinthians 2:10 NKJV) Yes, God reveals, takes off the cover, unveils the hidden, deep things via the Spirit.  Not only does present us with the unimaginable, He sends Holy Spirit to help us unwrap them!

When is the last time you wrote a love letter, sent a card, or a gift expressing your love for someone? God inspired men to write His love story to us in the form of the Bible.  It is one of the greatest gifts that He granted us.  In the pages of the Bible are the living, breathing words of God, the deep things of God.   He endued us Holy Spirit to show us Himself and His secrets tucked away in scripture.  Who knows what a person thinks except their own spirit?   Same thing with God.  Nobody knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.

“Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.” (1 Corinthians 2:12 NKJV)

We have received and take hold of  Holy Spirit so that we may know what has freely given to us.  What have we received? The gifts that we have not seen, nor heard or even thought about.  Amazing, Amazing things!  Here are a few things we have received:

• Jesus. -John 3:16
• Salvation -John 3:17
• Remission of sins. – Acts 10:43
• Forgiveness of sins – Acts 26:18
• Eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. -Romans 6:23
• The Holy Spirit – John 20:22
• All things. – Matthew 21:22
• Every good gift and every perfect gift -James 1:17
• All the days of our life. Psalm 139:13-16
• Every day. -Psalm 118:24
• Victory. -1 Corinthians 15:57
• The Blessing of Abraham – Galatians 3:14 KJV
• The adoption of sons. – Galatians 4:5 KJV
• The crown of life. – James 1:12 KJV
• The reward of the inheritance. – Colossians 3:24 KJV
• The engrafted word, which is able to save your souls. – James 1:21
• A crown of glory that does not fade away. – 1 Peter 5:4 KJV
• Abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness – Romans 5:17 13
• To Eat and drink and enjoy the good of all his labor -Ecclesiastes 3:13

I enCOURAGE you to open your Bible every day.  Sit at the feet of Jesus and discover what precious gift he has awaiting you.  Unwrap it, open it up, enjoy it, thank him for it and then give it away. 

Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift! (2 Corinthians 9:15 NKJV)

Looking into the depths of Psalm 1:1-3;  Jeremiah 17:7-8; and Ezekiel 47:12, this is what it means to me, when the Lord says : “That they may be called trees of righteousness, The planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified.” (Isaiah 61:3 NKJV) 

Blessed (happy, and fortunate)
is the man who trusts (confident, secure, throws cares, careless, fearless, runs for refuge)
in the LORD. 

Blessed (right, upright, to be straight, level, to be successful, prosper)
is the man whose hope (confidence, security, refuge)
is the LORD. 

Blessed is the man who walks not in
the counsel (advice, or plans and purposes)
of the ungodly (wicked, having an unrighteous cause, to be or do wrong, disturb, make trouble, make noise, tumultuous, cause terror, who depart from God)  
nor stands (endures, continues, abides)
in the path (way, road or direction)
of sinners (wander, miss, go the wrong way, miss the goal, miss the mark
nor sits in the seat of the scornful (make mouths out, mocks by imitating, act a fool)  We should not be walking in the same direction as sinners.

But his delight and pleasure is in the law (instruction, direction, teaching)
of the LORD
And in His law he meditates (roars, moans, growls, utters, mutters, speaks)
day and night.
Gods words are life to us and we should be roaring them day and night.  His words, His Word, are what keep us upright and walking in the right direction.  

He shall be like a tree, all kinds of trees used for food,
(apple, almond, cedars of Lebanon, sweetgum, black mulberry, date palm, palm, sycamore fig, olive, Holly oak, Shittah or acacia, poplar…It takes all kinds of trees!  It takes all kinds of trees to meet all kinds of needs.)
planted (God plants us, roots us in Love exactly where He needs us.)
along the bank of the river, on this side and that, by the rivers of water,
(God is living water. He is the fountain of living water. A constant life-source.  “And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb. -Revelation 22:1 NKJV)
which spreads out its roots by the river. (Firmly fixed, our roots grower, deeper, wider, and longer, in love, in God and in His word, creating a strong, immovable tree.   “The root of the righteous shall not be moved.”  Proverbs 12:3)

 And he will not see (look at, pay attention nor fear)
when heat comes (Heat will come.  Things that cause us to boil…temptation, hurt and offense… will come.)
BUT his leaf will be green (As trees of righteousness, we flourish in Him.  He we are rooted into the all sufficient river of living water of the word of God.  The water keeps our leaves green, alive, and thriving. This is why we have to stay planted in the word.)
His leaf and shall not wither. (fade, wilt, fall away, drop down, fail, faint, lose one’s strength, be foolish, disgrace)
The tree will not cease from yielding fruit.  Its fruit will not fail and will bring forth its fruit in its season.    (“The root of the righteous shall yield fruit.”- Proverbs 12: 12.  The roots are plugged into nutrient rich, life giving, fruit yielding water source.  At the right time, God’s time, we will bear fruit.)
The leaf will be for medicine, for healing. (Our leaves, our experiences, our successes and failures, shared can bring healing through Christ and bring wholeness to the broken)

The tree will not be anxious (fear, take care, thought, be concerned nor be sorrowful)
in the year of drought (when the rain is scarce and supply has been clipped off or withheld)
And whatever he does shall prosper. (to go over, go through, push forward, break out, break through, advance, succeed, come mightily, to flow, be poured out, to finish well)

I enCOURAGE you to trust in the Lord always. Meditate on His word day and night.   Walk in righteousness.  When he says that you are a “tree of righteousness,” believe Him and you will finish well!

God revelation for the day:
 “One tree in the garden delivered death and sin.  One tree in the garden delivered life and righteousness.  Which one do you choose?”  -Tammy Phillips

“That they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified. (Isaiah 61:3 KJV)

The trees of fall are all adorned in their radiant red, fiery orange and glorious golden colors, illustriously reflecting the amazing glory of their Creator.  It is imperative for us to see ourselves as God sees us.  When then Lord first revealed to me that we were called trees of righteousness, I promptly and proudly responded, “Not me!”  I was like Peter when he told the Lord in John 13, “You shall NEVER wash my feet.” Jesus answered him, “If I do not wash you, you have no part with Me.” (John 13:8 NKJV).  At that time, I thought I had too much sin and baggage to be a mighty tree in the kingdom of God.  He graciously showed me differently.

What we, have to realize is that there were words that preceded and proceeded “the tree of righteousness” phrase in Isaiah 61:3. The preceding words of Isaiah 61;1-3 tell us the good news of the salvation of the Lord. He came to:  bring good news to the impoverished; heal the brokenhearted; proclaim liberty to the captives; open the prison doors to the bound; proclaim the favored year of the Lord to the oppressed; comfort and console all who mourn;  give beauty (a tiara or crown) for ashes; the oil of joy for mourning; the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness…

 “That they may be called trees of righteousness…”

We are not a righteous tree because of anything we did.  It is all about what Jesus did for us when he was persecuted, put to death on the cross, and rose from the dead.  He paid the price for our wrongs and reconciled us to God.  Our Father sees us and calls us trees of righteousness because of Jesus. The word “call” is important.  It is Hebrew word is qara’, meaning, to cry out with the idea of accosting someone; proclaim; summon; invite; commission; appoint;  be called out; be chosen.  Do you get the idea?  God is roaring, “Jesus did all this so that YOU can be called trees of righteousness! It is how I see you.” 

The proceeding words disclose the how and why. We are “the planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified.” He calls us, chooses us and plants us. We are his plantation.  The Hebrew word for planting is a derivative of the word nata’ which means to plant, to place, fasten, establish, and to set anything upright, so that it is fixed in the ground.  We are planted that he may be glorified. We reflect His glory. He sees the righteousness, beauty and strength of His son in us and it glorifies Father God.

I enCOURAGE you to accept all of the finished work and good news of Jesus.  Be healed. Be whole.  Be complete.  Be free. Be loosed. Be favored. Be comforted. Be consoled. Be crowned. Be beautiful. Be joyful. Be clothed in praise.  Arise, throw your shoulders back and declare the word of God over your life.  Repeat: “I am a tree of righteousness!  I am firmly planted. I am resolute!”

For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation. (Psalm 149:4 KJV)

For thus says the High and Lofty One Who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy:  “I dwell in the high and holy place, with him [who] has a contrite and humble spirit, To revive the spirit of the humble, And to revive the heart of the contrite ones.” (Isaiah 57:15 NKJV)

One of my favorite scriptures is, “He heals the brokenhearted And binds up their wounds. (Psalm 143:7) I see a picture of God picking up the broken pieces of our hearts and lives and surgically sewing them back together, better than before.  He creates a beautiful quilt of our broken lives. He is God; He can do that and more.

When I read Isaiah 57:15, I did not know the definition of contrite. I found it to be the Hebrew word, dakka, meaning, dust, crushed, literally powder, very much crushed, broken small.  It a derivative of daka meaning be broken into pieces, bruised, oppressed, beat to pieces, crushed to pieces.

So according to Isaiah 57:15, not only is He the God of Psalms 143:7, who mends our broken hearts. He is the God, High and Lifted Up, who goes low into the humble spaces of our lives.  He takes the very smallest particles of our crushed spirits, the powdery dust of our disasters and revives us.

The word revive means breathe life into; return, restore, recover life, cause to grow, to flourish, to live well and be prosperous; to recover health; to be healed; to be refreshed; to deliver from destruction.

Dust is the smallest picture of brokenness that I can imagine.  Almighty God lovingly and willingly steps from the highest high to the lowest low.  He dusts up our debris.  (Yes! God dusts, too!)  He miraculously and meticulously, as only He can do, breathes life into powder of our existence.  What happens when we blow on specs of dust?  The pieces fly violently through the air.  God’s breath is different.  It is healing, restorative, reviving glue.  Not only does His breath bring our brokenness back to life, it causes us to flourish and prosper in places where we were shattered.

I will never look at dust quite the same again.

I enCOURAGE you to call out to the Reviver, the High and Lofty One.  No thing, No life, circumstance, no situation nor relationship, is beyond His healing, life giving, breath.  He made us from dust, so surely His word is true that He can revive us from dust.  Thanks God that He dusts, too!

“Revive us, and we will call upon Your name. Restore us, O LORD God of hosts; Cause Your face to shine, And we shall be saved!” (Psalm 80:18-19 NKJV)

Thought:  Ponder on God’s greatness and our smallness.  Think about  the galaxies, stars and planets as dust particles that God just breathed into the universe.

We are in a relationship with God.  God is there for us and we are there for Him.  The confessions of our faith should be:

WE SEE
We see Him and we see others as He sees them. Our focus is Him.

• • I will look to the LORD. (Micah 7:7)
  • Now see that I, even I, am He, And there is no God besides Me (Deuteronomy 32:39)
  • The eyes of our understanding being enlightened. (Ephesians 1:18)
  • Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith… (Hebrews 12:2)
  • “But blessed are your eyes for they see, and your ears for they hear;” (Matthew 13:16)

WE HEAR
We have ears to hear truth and turn a deaf ear to the enemy and his lies.

• • My son, give attention to my words; Incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your eyes; Keep them in the midst of your heart; For they [are] life to those who find them, And health to all their flesh. (Proverbs 4:20-22)
  • The Lord GOD has opened My ear… (Isaiah 50:5 NKJV)
  • He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. (Revelation 2:29)

WE SPEAK
When we boldly speak only the words of God, we speak truth and life.  He will give us what to say, either way.

• • I have put My words in your mouth. (Isaiah 51:1)
  • Do not worry about how or what you should answer, or what you should say.  For the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you ought to say. (Luke 12:11-12)
  • Therefore, settle it in your hearts not to meditate beforehand on what you will answer; for I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries will not be able to contradict or resist. (Luke 21:14-15)
  • Now, Lord…grant to Your servants that with all boldness they may speak Your word, (Acts 4:29
  • Preaching the kingdom of God and teaching the things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ with all confidence…(Acts 28:31)

WE PRAY

• • Pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly. (Matthew 6:6)
  • Whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them. (Mark 11:24)
  • Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything (Philippians 4:6 NLT)
  • Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit (Ephesians 6:18)
  • Pray without ceasing, (1 Thessalonians 5:17)

WE ARE WITH GOD

• • Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;  In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. (Proverbs 3:5-6)
  • Trust in the LORD forever, For in YAH, the LORD, is everlasting strength. (Isaiah 26:4)
  • Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, And whose hope is the LORD. (Jeremiah 17:7)
  • Now he who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. And by this we know that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us. (1 John 3:24)
  • Raised [us] up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, (Ephesians 2:6 NKJV)

WE HELP GOD TO FURTHER HIS KINGDOM
By following Jesus’ example in Isaiah 61:1-4.

WE ARE THERE 
We are there for God by loving Him and keeping His word

• “If you love Me, keep My commandments.” (John 14:15)
• We love Him because He first loved us. …  And this commandment we have from Him: that he who loves God [must] love his brother also. (1 John 4:19, 21)
• My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth. (1 John 3:18)
• And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ This [is] the first commandment. (Mark 12:30)
•  Be still,and know that I [am] God.(Psalm 46:10)

I encourage you to have ears to hear, eyes to see, a mouth to boldly speak and pray.  Abide with God and help Him further His kingdom. Keep his word.  Most of all just love Him and be with Him.

What words can be spoken to encourage on a day of loss?  On a day of celebration?  On a day of  victory or a day of defeat?  What words can be offered to encourage on a day that you say good-bye to yet another loved one?  I can only offer the words of our good God:

GOD SEES YOU
He is EL ROI, “You-are-the God-who-sees,” exactly where you are. (Genesis 16:13)

For the eyes of the LORD [are] on the righteous, And His ears [are open] to their prayers; ” (1 Peter 3:12 NKJV)

Not only does He see you but…

GOD HEARS

But certainly, God has heard me; He has attended to the voice of my prayer. (Psalm 66:19 NKJV)

Not only does He see you, He listens to you and …

GOD SPEAKS

“It shall come to pass That before they call, I will answer; And while they are still speaking, I will hear. (Isaiah 65:24 NKJV)

He knows what you are going to ask before you ever say a word and…

GOD PRAYS

Likewise, the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. (Romans 8:26 NKJV)

God the Holy Spirit intercedes for us when we don’t even have the words to speak and…

God the Son prays.

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. (Romans 8:34 NKJV)

GOD IS WITH YOU

…for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9

GOD HELPS AND HOLD YOU UP

I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Isiah 41:10

GOD IS THERE

“Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you.” Deuteronomy 31:6 

The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. Psalm 34:18

GOD GUARDS YOU

 For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; Psalm 91:11

 You have your own Secret Service detail to help you with any need. You cannot see them, but I guarantee they are big and not to messed with.

 I enCOURAGE you to “look unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. (Hebrews 12:2 NKJV) He endured the pain. He sees and hears you.  He speaks and prays on your behalf.  He is with you, holds you up and guards you.  There is no place you can go that He is not.  God is always there for you.

Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him! (Psalm 34:8 NKJV)

As I write to you, I am cozily sitting here under my favorite, soft, fuzzy, snuggly blanket.  Fall has announced its arrival with daily temperatures dropping into the low 60’s.  Cover is welcomed and necessary, if you are dressed in shorts, believing the warmth of summer is still hanging around.  The picture of God being our Cover has appeared several times in the last week. I have been researching a few words.  Oddly enough, what was their meaning? God is our Cover.

• As our Alpha and Omega, He is our Cover, encompassing all time and eternity. (Revelation 22:13)
• As our Passover, He is our Cover, our blood covering, protecting us from destruction. (1 Corinthians 5:17)As our Refuge, He is our cover, our dwelling place, our den, asylum and place of retreat and security. (Deuteronomy 33:27)
• As our Author and Perfecter of our Faith, He is our cover, writing the Masterpiece of our life in His book. (Hebrew 12:2)
• As our Atonement, He is our Cover, our overspread, covering over, blotting out and forgiving all our sins (Romans 5:11)
• As our Good Shepherd, He is our Cover, our door and gate.  He literally laid down His life, providing protection and salvation to us in the pen of life. (John 10:9,11)
• As our High Priest, He is our Cover, continually interceding for us, day and night. (Hebrews 3:1, Romans 8:34)
• As our Holy Spirit, He is our Cover, anointing and smearing Himself all over us. (1 John 2:20)
• As our Light, He is our Cover, enveloping the darkness with Himself. (John 8:12)
• As our Resurrection, He is our Cover, wrapping and restoring us in life by keeping us from death. (John 11:25)
• As our Lamb of God, He is our Cover, covering and taking away the sins of the world. (John 1:29)
• As our Comforter, He is our Cover, blanketing us with knowledge in all things. (John 14:26)
• As our Lord of all, He is our Cover.  He has got it ALL covered! (Philippians 2:9-11)

He is our Savior, Creator, Deliver, Preserver, Provider, Freedom, Fortress, Safety, Shield, Strength, Rock, Rescue, Righteousness, Refiner, Redeemer,  Word, Wholeness, Healer and Completer.  I think that just about covers it all. If it does not, He is all that, too!

I enCOURAGE you to sink into the warmth and security found in our Lord.  Meditate and know that He has got you covered.  You can trust Him.  God has been there, exactly where you are.  He is there with you now, hovering over you, covering and loving you through it all.
