When we trust in Christ, God declares us righteous. But we're not instantly made perfect in our thoughts, motives, and action. Then begins the process of purifying the heart. The reward - the pure in heart will see God.

Jesus showed up at a multi-day wedding feast with no plans to perform any miracles. He left having brought an immense amount of joy to a covenantal celebration, and in the process, He revealed His glory through a prophetic picture of His death, burial, and resurrection.

The Father desires to give the Holy Spirit to all of His children, but He will never force Himself upon us. He pours out His Spirit freely upon those who strongly desire Him; who ask. We experience a baptism in the Holy Spirit both for spiritual power to live courageously, and also because in the challenges and difficulties of our pursuit of Jesus and His will, we will regularly find ourselves in need of refreshing in His presence. 

Genesis 16:13
She gave this name to the Lord who spoke to her: “You are the God who sees me,” for she said, “I have now sees the One who sees me.”

In Psalm 127, we see Solomon's Song of Ascent in which he shares some of his most significant life wisdom. He teaches us that all human effort is wasted unless God is working behind the scenes, that our trust in God is most clearly revealed in our ability to rest, and that our most important legacy is our children - both natural and spiritual.

It all begins and ends with Jesus - The Word.
