the road that leads

There was the temple, and deep within, past the outer courts, past the holy place, hidden behind a heavy curtain, inaccessible to all but one - the holy of holies.

I wonder how much believers longed for access to this hidden place where only the high priest was allowed. The hunger for an encounter with God, the deep desire to be in His presence......

And here we are, with access to it all, any time, any day - with no excuse, yet at times remain in the outer court...

 If we have ever experienced being in the holy of holies, then to remain in the outer court leaves us dissatisfied and it is easy to start looking for excuses or blame. Let's look within!


                   I think there is a road that leads to the holy of holies - a road within the heart...

At times this road is only as long as a step across a threshold, other times it seems long, winding or an uphill battle, other times again we are swept up and carried there by anointed worship.

Do you ever wonder why this is - why the difference?
Whatever the reason(s), I do know two things to be true -

                        It is our choice to journey this road that lies within our hearts

- there is no curtain, no door, but a throne room where worship is always in session inviting
us to partake.......


the holy of holies beckons, let's journey together,
