Drink From His Cup
Today in service we sang a song with the following lyrics: I want to sit @ YOUR feet, DRINK FROM THE CUP IN YOUR HAND, lay back against you and breath, feel your heartbeat. This love is so deep, its more than I can stand, I melt in your peace its overwhelming!! As we sang that song, I remembered the ceremonial wedding tactics of the early jews. When an arrangment was made between families, the son would come with all of his friends and family to a engagment party. He would then offer a glass to spouse to be. If she accepted his proposal, then she would take the cup and drink. If she didn't then she would simply push the cup away. As we sang the song today, I felt the Lord saying unto the church that we must take His cup and accept His proposal. On the night of Jesus' betrayal, He took the cup and offered it unto His disciples. They accepted and drank from the cup. Today, I felt the Lord saying to the church, that we must accept His invitation to be His bride. We are the bride of Christ, and He is preparing our destiny now!! Take his cup, surrender yourself unto Him, and find the destiny that He has prepared for you!! Accept His invitation to really LIVE in Him!! He wants you to surrender all, becoming HIS bride. I want to sit @ His feet, and drink from the cup. I want to lay back against Him and breath (symbolic of real peace), feel (know) His heartbeat. His love is so deep, it's more than we can stand!! We will all melt in his peace, It really is OVERWHELMING!!!
