God moves us a step at a time. Day by day, bit by bit, preparing us, equipping us, training us, often without our even realizing that what has just occurred will position us to be ready for the change that we are seeking and asking God for. We look for the large event, the resounding change, but God leads us in smaller increments because He is so much greater than we realize.

Psalms 90
v.4 For a thousand years in your sight are like a day that has just gone by, or like a watch in the night.

2 Thessalonians 3:16 Now may the Lord of peace Himself give you peace at all times and in every way.

The world longs for it. We have access to it. The scriptures describe it. God blesses us with it. Heaven overflows with it. Yet it seems there is never enough to go around.

We are the house of God, the temple of God. He has said that His house will be called a house of prayer. Jesus cleansed the temple in Jerusalem, and His zeal for His Father's house was the tipping point after which the religious leadership made up their minds to kill Him.

God loves His people. He holds His people in His heart with a true, strong, clean love. He protects them against any force that attempts to attack Him through those He cares for. The Lord Almighty, full of power and might, riding the clouds and making the mountains melt by His touch, causing the seas to flee and dry up at His word, the very God of all glory and majesty opens Himself up and makes Himself vulnerable by offering His love to us.
