JEHOVAH-TSURI

So, when I make these pictures that pertain to a specific Scripture reference, for me both must align as near as I can see it in my heart's eye. What may look quite nice to the mind's eye is not alway palatable to the soul. 
For instance, with this one I tried other mountain clip arts and lightning effects, but was dissatisfied with the overall result until I got this put together: 

JEHOVAH-TSURI
THE LORD MY ROCK
(YAHWEH TSOOR)
Psalm 19:14
May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in Your sight, O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.




This was David's prayer. But I am thinking it must have been thus with Moses, too. For had the words of Moses' mouth and the meditation of his heart not been acceptable to God, Moses would never have been allowed to climb and be on the mountaintop with His God. So, too, must this our prayer be that we may be in God's presence when He calls to His holy mountain. 

There's Honey In The Rock For You

There's Honey In The Rock for You

Deuteronomy 32:13 "He (The LORD) made him (Jacob/Israel) ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and He made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock." 

This chapter tells us not only Who the Rock is, but that God's chosen people wanted it not. See verse 15? It says "But". All the goodness which God wanted to give His people, He could not, because they turned their backs on Him and went after other gods. 

We learn they were a faithless generation (verse 20) and would be judged for the wickedness of their heart and the things they had done, before He could bless them again. 

Are we now seeing again a faithless generation, who chase after gods and are self-righteous in their own worth? It is not only vanity that repeats itself, but arrogance and forgetting. Forgetting the holiness of God, forgetting that God wreaks vengeance  and judgment on they (we) who have little regard and much disdain for the things of God. 

And what can we say on an individual basis? Only God sees our hearts, but we see each other's lifestyles. 

Yes, there's Honey (the blessings of God) in The Rock (The Word of God) for us (through our obedience to His Word and His Will plus our faith in His Promises). I have eaten that Honey in The Rock. And it is sweet to the taste.
