He Rises...

Isaiah 6:1- In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord seated on a throne, high and exalted, and the train of his robe filled the temple.

Psalm 47:8-God reigns over the nations; God is seated on his holy throne.

Revelation 19:4-living creatures fell down and worshiped God, who was seated on the throne.

In these three verse's we see that God is seated on the throne, governing the world. While He's seated people are worshiping Him, exalting Him as He reigns over the Nations.

So here's my point in this. We see evidence in the Word of God, which is living and active and sharper than any double edged sword. As a child of God this blows my mind and it what my heart has been thinking a lot about lately.

Isaiah 38:18-Yet the LORD longs to be gracious to you; he rises to show you compassion.
For the LORD is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for him!

Key words are-HE RISES. The Lord gets up off His throne to show compassion to His children. He's not sitting there when we call on His name. He gets up for us. He stops what He's doing, because one of His kids needs Him. My heart has been focusing on this for a while now. That the God of the universe, the creator of all things, the uncreated one gets up off His throne to show compassion to me.

May you know that when you call on the Lord that He rises to show compassion to you.
