TISHRI 24
What is Lovely
“For the rest, brothers … whatever
is LOVELY – think on these.”
(Phi 4:8 ISR, emphasis mine)
The
expressions on a person’s face tell us a story of a thousand words. It is through these expressions that we can
tell whether a person is sad, happy, hurt, angry, offended, joyful, expectant,
and many times, we can visibly see what they are thinking about. We all have our favorite daydreams, places
that we enjoy going to in our minds, places that are ‘lovely’, thoughts that
bring us peace and happiness. And as
long as these thoughts line up with the Word of our Elohim, these are exactly
the thoughts that we need to be thinking …
In the
last few years of her life, my mother would spend many hours looking through
her old photo albums, reminiscing of times that brought her great joy and
happiness. She would smile and laugh at
pictures of us as children, of her grandchildren, and of years that had come
and gone. However, we, as children of El
Elyon, the most high Elohim, have a hope of a future, and can turn our eyes
ahead, not back, to our eternal destiny.
We know, and we can daydream to our heart’s content, of what our future
will hopefully be, and of whom it will be with.
This, brethren, is the direction that our thoughts should turn to …
“There are many rooms in the house
of my Father. And if not, I would have
told you, for I go to prepare a place for you.
And if I go prepare a place for you, I will come again and take you with
me so that where I am you may be also.” (John 14:2-3 HRVS)
“And I heard a loud voice from the heaven saying, “See, the Booth of
Elohim is with men, and He shall dwell with them, and they shall be His people,
and Elohim Himself shall be with them and be their Elohim.” (Rev 21:3 ISR)
