Nahum 1:7 tells us that God’s presence causes upheaval. Even mountains melt like wax at the presence of The Lord. Whenever I spend undistracted time with Him, at His footstool, it always causes upheaval in my life. It is a glorious upheaval, even if sometimes painful. The beauty of The Lord is dangerous. It never

Adorer’s, True Worshipers are lost in the beauty of The Lord. We live in times where it is tempting to be afraid, angry, and cynical, but David said that it was the beauty of The Lord that adorned him, that lifted up his head above his enemies who were surrounding him. What a foolish battle
Jude 1 ¶ Jude, a bond-servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, ¶ To those who are the called, beloved in God the Father, and kept for Jesus Christ: Eph. 1:18 I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the hope of His calling,

Song 1:4 ¶ Take me away with you—let us hurry! Let the king bring me into his chambers. We rejoice and delight in you; we will praise your love more than wine. How right they are to adore you! Jesus said in John 4 that the Father was looking for “True Worshippers.” That doesn’t mean
