This Robe of Righteousness

This robe of righteousness
Placed on me by the Father
When I come, when I believe...

This robe covers me with the precious, powerful, blood of Jesus,
Gives me access to the Father,
Allows me to enter into His Presence,
Allows me to commune with the King of Kings iand Lord of Lords...

This robe of righteousness
Presents me clean...pure...holy
As I am joined to Christ, the Anointed One...

Heaven touches me
Favor surrounds me
When this robe adorns me...

My enemies hate this robe
They try their hardest to steal this coat
With there lies of condemnation, unbelief, and legalism...

This robe is not replaced, removed, or changed
Depending on the type of day I am having.
When the Father dresses me with this gift... it cannot be removed
It is part of Him...covering me...
And it’s His covering  that enables me to stay steadfast
Marching me to victory
Leading me to joy, to peace, to wholeness...
Filling me up with abundant life,
Until I overflow Jesus into my world...

Thank you for this grace filled gift of love!

The Source

Where is my water source coming from
My water source that feeds my soul and gives me my thoughts?
What source am I drinking from?

Am I drinking on the news report, the medical evaluation, the philosophy of the day?
Am I listening to the whispering of my accuser,
The one who hates me and wants me to fail?
Am I only hearing the condemnation of the ones in my life who I can’t seem to please?

What is the source of my water that is causing this death,
This sadness, the condemning thoughts, the hopelessness, this anger, this frustration?

When  the people in the town told Elisha that their water was foul...
Elisha went to the source
And he poured salt into it!

He cleansed the water source with the salt of heaven...
The salt of heaven that purifies, cleans, restores,
The salt of heaven that creates new thoughts
The salt of heaven that breaths life...

Lord I need You as my source!
You are the living water...
You are the pure, holy, righteous, true...

I need You,
Your Word, Your promises, Your truth
To be my source of water
To feed my everyday thoughts.
I need to only hear Your whispering, Your song...
I need You to restore,
To flood Your abundant life into every season, every aspect of my life...
I want You as my source!

2 Kings 2:21
