Outside The Camp

 

Take me outside
my situations

to where You died
for me

so I can be sanctified
and set apart

made holy
unto Thee.

Lord Jesus, I desire to be set apart for You.

“. . . that is, all the rest of the bull, he is to bring outside the camp to a clean place where the ashes are poured out, and burn it on a fire of wood. Where the ashes are poured out it shall be burned. [Hebrews 13:11-13]. ” Leviticus 4:12 AMP

“Therefore Jesus also suffered and died outside the [city] gate so that He might sanctify and set apart for God as holy the people [who believe] through [the shedding of] His own blood.”
Hebrews 13:11-13 AMP

“In An Isolated House”

“He was sixteen years old when he became king, and he reigned  fifty-two years in Jerusalem.  His mother’s name was Jecholiah of Jerusalem.”  2 Kings 15:2

“And he did what was right in the sight of the LORD. . .” 2 Kings 15:3

“Then the LORD struck the king, so that he was a leper until the day of his death; so he dwelt in an isolated house.  And Jotham the king’s son was over the royal house, judging the people of the land.”  2 Kings 15:5

The word isolation brings negative images to mind.

Lord, may those of us in more isolating circumstances develop an incredible relationship with You.  And here is a simple poem . . .

Pulled Aside

Are we really cut off
or just set apart

for a time of bonding
a special heart to heart

separated from being
in the midst of things

so we can listen and pray
to our King of Kings.

Kept For You

“So the cook took up the thigh with its upper part and set if before Saul. And Samuel said, ‘Here it is, what was kept back. It was set apart for you. Eat; for until this time it has been kept for you, since I said I invited the people’.” 1 Samuel 9:24

When a family member is delayed past dinner time, we save some back for them.

Lord, thank You for encouraging those of us who feel left out and left behind today, that You have something set apart for us. And here’s a simple poem . . .

Set Apart and Kept Back

I know you are struggling
with all you’re going through

you’re not even sure
what you’re suppose to do

but I have something kept back
set apart for you

keep pressing on and into Me
your time is almost due.
