                 Values 

                When we walk

                accept His gifts

                of truth

                wrapped in our souls

                Authentic faith

                immersed in glory

                reaps to each

                a harvest beyond comprehension

                Salvation so

                valuable

                revealed daily

                saturated in love.

Psalm 89:3: "I have made a covenant with My chosen; I have sworn to David My servant,'".

Reveal: 1 Peter: Prayers and Poetry

Reading: 1 Peter: 1:7-9: "But these only reveal the sterling core of your faith, which is far more valuable than gold that perishes, for even gold is refined by fire. Your authentic faith will result in even more praise, glory, and honor when Jesus the united One is revealed. You love Him passionately although you have not seen Him, but through believing in Him you are saturated with ecstatic joy, indescribably sublime and immersed in glory. For you are reaping the harvest of your faith--the full salvation promised you--your soul's victory!

How often do we run from the "fire" in order to protect ourselves instead of asking if we need to step in?  

If we are not willing to face the lies we may have consumed, then we are unable to be authentic to ourselves or to others. Our faith cannot be strengthened. And our commitment might only skim the surface.

Yet, He offers to immerse us in glory--so hard to grasp or understand--a gift beyond description.

Though this fire restores healing, builds truth into our hearts and souls, guides our actions. And gives us a glimpse of glory when in His presence.

Lord, guide us into Your harvest by revealing our level of faith in all situation. Keep us on Your solid ground from the inside out.
