Seeing and Receiving

“Now behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus who was a chief tax collector, and he was rich.

And he sought to see who Jesus was, but could not because of the crowd, for he was of short stature.

So he ran ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see Him, for He was going to pass that way.

And when Jesus came to the place, He looked up and saw him, and said to him, ‘Zacchaeus, make haste and come down, for today I must stay at your house.’

So he made haste and came down, and received Him joyfully.” Luke 19:2-6  NKJV

We just have to see Jesus for ourselves.

Thank You, Lord, for seeing all those who are seeking You.  And here’s a simple poem . . .

Each time we
seek and see
just who
Jesus is

we cannot but be
filled with joy

and receive Him
endlessly.

God bless you as you see and receive Him today!

The People Who Know

“Blessed are the people who know
the joyful sound!
They walk, O LORD, in the light of
Your countenance.
In Your name they rejoice all day long . . .”  Psalms 89:15-16

People of God hear, walk and speak differently.

Lord, we thank You for the joy and the light of Your countenance and name!  And here’s a simple poem . . .

Blessed Ones

They can hear their Lord singing
over them with delight

and walk in the joy
of His Holy might

all through the day
they can’t help but rejoice

in the beauty of His name
and at the sound of His voice.
