Revealing Abba in Psalm 53
| The
fool labors to preserve his own life, saying in his heart that there is
no one and most certaintly not God to serve me with life, so I must
serve myself; this corrupt wisdom does not allow their heart to rest in
You and Your life, Abba. You look down from heaven upon Your beloved, longing for them to understand Your everlasting kindness toward them; and Your desire to share Your life with them; so that they might look to You for the life their heart has always longed for; Every one of them has turned away from Your way that leads to life; they all have corruption and death reigning over them; there is none that rests in You and Your ability to give them life, no, not one; Have all those laboring to preserve their life not seen it is the way which leads to death? They lay burdens too hard to bear on those who see they cannot ever serve themselves the life they truly desire; not acknowledging it is only found in You, Abba; There is no rest in this corrupt way of thinking but only torment; Abba has brought rest in Me; bringing destruction upon all that which was against you; putting it to shame; Abba has despised the way that brought death to His beloved; O that all might see their salvation and inheritance in Me; Your dwelling place and Your word made immortal flesh; for In Me, Abba, You have rescued Your people from the bondage of death where all can find rest in You and rejoice and be glad. |
