7 ¶ And David said to Abiathar the priest, Ahimelech's son, I pray thee, bring me hither the ephod. And Abiathar brought thither the ephod to David.
8 And David enquired at the LORD, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake them, and without fail recover all.

Are we not members of a “royal priesthood “?
Could it be that our Father is waiting on us to gird ourselves in our priestly garments (responsibility and character) and seek the Lord God until we have the correct, personal and instructional direction from Him and His Spirit!

Perhaps we need to reestablish the priority which we are in pursuit of, if we are even in pursuit at all?!!?

Time to pray church, time to pray!

For the Lord is near to those who are of a broken spirit and a contrite heart! I’ how He longs to love you, help you and heal your heart!

At the heart of the brokenness around me and in the hidden depths of my own soul, I seek your touch of healing, O God, for there you reside. In the hidden depths of life, O God, there you reside. ~ J. Philip Newell, Celtic Benediction

Pastoral Ponderings: Describing the disparity between the mind of humanity and the mind of God, Abraham Heschel writes, “The [human] conscience builds its confines, is subject to fatigue, longs for comfort, lulling, soothing. Yet those who are hurt, and He Who inhabits eternity, neither slumber nor sleep.”(1) In other words, God never sleeps or slumbers because those who are hurting never sleep or slumber. Try as we may as caretakers we cannot be as God to the hurting. We can stay awake with them in their pain and suffering. We can care for them as neighbors. But the house in which the suffering find unfailing love is the Lord’s. Like the friends of the paralytic who carried him all the way to Christ, this is the house to which we must bring them. His is the house in which we must live.

Though I still seem to move toward broken communities and still struggle with the weight of some of the things I see, I realize I struggle equally with the apathy that makes me want to flee from it all and clear away the crowd. But I am convinced that the right side of pain can only be accessed through the house of God, a house built not by human hands, but held up by the beams of the Cross. Here our souls find a house with rooms prepared for them and a table set with room for our enemies. God has invited us into the kingdom; the doors of a great house are opened wide. And it is a house where hospitality is not a conditional sharing of personal pains, or a self-centered preoccupation with suffering, but an extension of Christ’s real invitation: Come to me, all who are weary and I will give you rest. (Excerpt from "A Slice of Infinity" devotion, R. Zacharias Ministries)

Pastoral Ponderings: This particular post will mark my first as new Pastor @ Crestview and it is our hope and intent to encourage and inspire the reader while representing the truth of God's great Word. I would also encourage interaction with this post so that we all may assess effectivness as well as the depth of Christian love and burden for His Kingdom, His people and so many others in need of such Christian love. In this our first post, let me simply assure you, dear reader, that if you are reading this as a child of God then I trust you also recognize that "no good thing will He withhold from you" which truthfully implies that whatever we need as Children of God to do His will, He will give it us that we may be successful in His work. Mya God help us to live with such spiritual faith/confidence that it is impossible to see ourselves as poor, deprived, destitute or diminished in any measure! If you are reading this post an perhaps you do not have the confidence of mind and heart as to where you stand with Christ; I would encourage you to realize the depths of His great love (of whihch there is no end), the immeasurable efforts of His mercy & grace that He offers you which will give your life purpose, peace and a plan. All of us, beloved, are in His great plans and designs and you can be sure that He would have all of us succeed and grow in the knowledge and revelation of who He is and what His great love will do for all humanity.
More to come later...

This will be my last post on this site. A new administrator will be taking over soon. May God bless each of you readers and I trust you will continue to follow this page. Also, you are welcome to send me a friend request to my personal page if you would like to continue reading my posts. Pastor Dillard
Just Musing: At the beginning of Acts three, Luke refers to a number of individuals that contribute to the testimony of God’s miraculous power. First, he noted the nameless individuals who laid a lame man down at that gate of the temple. He simply refers to them as “they.” Second, he noted the lame man whose sole act was to ask for money of those entering into the temple. Third, he mentions Peter and John as they make their way to a prayer meeting. Upon consideration, those that I refer to as “the nameless ones” have not gotten a lot of attention in this passage nor it seems from most preachers. However, three questions present themselves: 1) Are we laying people down or are we lifting people up? 2) Additionally, Are we just “nameless ones” of the crowd or anonymous faces in the congregation? Or, 3) Are we being someone like Peter and John who are lifting people up? Remember, it is not hard to lay people down and walk away to let someone else deal with their problems as one would a burden, but it can be very difficult to stop and lift up someone up. It takes a lot more strength to lift someone up than to let them down. Find someone today to lift. It’s easy. Just give them your hand and let God do the rest.

“Ty Cobb and Babe Ruth were two of the greatest baseball players of all time. Ty Cobb was known for his record number of stolen bases, and Babe Ruth was known for his record number of home runs. What you may not know is that Ty Cobb was also thrown out more than any other man in baseball trying to steal bases. And Babe Ruth struck out more than any other man in baseball! These fellows didn’t let their failures stop them, and neither should you!
Fix your goal.
Face your faults.
Forget your failures.
Failure in the Christian life is not final.” (Love Worth Finding Devotional)

Something I'm working on:
"As we approach God’s heavenly throne
Standing with a Crowd – Standing Alone.
Offering Praise and selfless Adoration
Presenting our bodies as Living Oblations.

It is all that God requires
And we do so during the Worship Hour.
Thus we rejoice with joy and gladness
For God will heal our hurts and soothe our sadness."

Just Musing: Rebellion is Never Wise. Consider Absalom (King David's son) who rebelled against his father's reign and divided the nation. His actions brought great harm to himself, to those who followed him, and all Israel. Remember, he met his death while hanging from a tree limb. Note, "And Absalom met the servants of David. And Absalom rode upon a mule, and the mule went under the thick boughs of a great oak, and his head caught hold of the oak, and he was taken up between the heaven and the earth; and the mule that was under him went away." (2 Sam 18:9) One wrote of the death of Absalom: “Absalom’s end was beset with terrors. When he was caught in the branches of the oak-tree, he was about to sever his hair with a sword stroke, but suddenly he saw hell yawning beneath him, and he preferred to hang in the tree to throwing himself into the abyss alive. Absalom’s crime was, indeed, of a nature to deserve the supreme torture, for which reason he is one of the few Jews who have no portion in the world to come.” (Ginzberg, Legends of the Jews) This lesson should teach all God's people to 1) listen and judge wisely those we follow, 2) guard carefully our attitudes towards those over us in the Lord and 3) know we all will be judged according to our actions.
