Sonya Forbes shared a messaged titled,

'Where is Your Focus & What Can You Notice?"

Psalm 24:1-6
The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it.
The world and all its people belong to him.
For he laid the earth’s foundation on the seas
and built it on the ocean depths.
Who may climb the mountain of the Lord?
Who may stand in his holy place?
Only those whose hands and hearts are pure,
who do not worship idols
and never tell lies.
They will receive the Lord’s blessing
and have a right relationship with God their saviour.
Such people may seek you
and worship in your presence, O God of Jacob.

This world is God’s. Let’s not get tied up in organising ‘our’ lives. They are His.
The only One who can stand in the Holy place is Jesus. Let’s start this year with gratitude for the gift of grace that He gives us His righteousness and that we too can stand in the Holy Place, in communion & connection with God Almighty!
Will we be a generation who seek His face? Who seek the Kingdom first above all else?

Prophetic word:

“Do not be overwhelmed, Child
By the moving forward of time
Instead, notice the patterns of
My rhythm and rhyme”

Where is your focus? Like in Psalm 24 are we beginning from a place of knowing this is all God’s, keeping the good news of Jesus center, and worshipping with our lives/seeking the face of God?

And what can you notice? Like the changing of seasons, the rhythms and rhymes of Holy Spirit. Are your eyes and ears open to the gentle movements taking place all the time?

“What are you noticing?
Are you going through the motions of normality unaware
Of the micro and macro shifts in the atmosphere?

What are you noticing?
Have you paid attention to the changes taking place continually
In yourself, your partner, your children, your community

What are you noticing?
If it is time for certain things to find their ending
Where can you start planning for fresh beginnings?

What are you noticing?”
