We are dust held together by the breath of God.
When we worship God we are simply returning to God what he breathed into us.
Light represents God's precense. We are meant to be light of the world. Reflecting God's precense.
We need to remove the false things, the expectations of others and return to the real person we are, not the artificial us.
Who are we, the person others want or the beloved of God. We need to remove the armour (saul) that others would place on us.
What is built from our lives depends not on our fears or even hopes others have put on us but on the word of God, that which is written. See our Jesus responded to the (if) testing of the devil.
We need to not listen to the chatter (lies) the enemy says to us.
The hebrew translation of filthy rags is excrement. See zechariah 3:5 he clothes us with the best robes and a turban of his promises.
To hear the river which runs deep we must be still and know that he is God. Psalm 46.
Love in hebrew is "longing for a home".
There are 4 layers of revelation in God's word. The literal, the general message, the hint and the mystery as per hebrew learning.
When Jesus said eat my flesh in hebrew it literally means to suckle at the breast as babies do, not some weird flesh feast.
Bethel is communion with God but ai represents confusion. Abram pitched his tent between the two and built an altar of sacrifice. The middle ground represents the reality.
We come to God like babies, just loved, not for what we have or do. God's nature is loved, and we are the beloved of God.
Focusing or being aware of God is to turn or give God our attention.
The cleft of the rock is a safe place. A place that we can be when that which destroy us passes by. A bit like a mother's womb.
Jesus became the mercy seat of God, and this is what Mary saw when the two angels stood at either end of where Jesus was laying in the tomb.
Psalm 91, a picture of the mercy seat is the shelter (shadow) of the most high. God in the most high can see everthing.
Being all powerful he can respond to our needs. God is a covenant keeping God who is creative (able).
Even when we can't see God he can see us. He sees and knows everything that is going on.
He is almighty, able to do everything. He has all the power and might.
God's personal name guarantees the covenant. It is his signature on the contract (covenant).
He is a creative God who knows the end from the beginning. He can do the miraculous.
The word for redemption in hebrew means to go full circle. Such as gilgo, whenever we read go such as golgotha is God's redemptive work.
