“….In Unseen Places…”

“But still, You long to enthrone truth throughout my being;

in unseen places deep within me, You show me wisdom.”

Psalm 51:6 (The Voice)
 
 
Many years ago I studied a book by Watchman Nee. He shared a truth that made an impression and impact on me. He shared an analogy of our souls receiving the light and truth of our Lord. He spoke of our souls, and likened them to the virgin caverns of a cave. These are caverns that have not yet been touched therefore they have not seen light and still remain undiscovered. He was likening the caverns of our soul as deep places within us in which God‘s light and life flow freely yet there are caverns within our souls that have not yet been touched with God‘s truth and light.

He was likening the caverns of our soul as deep places within us in which God‘s light and life flow freely yet there are caverns within our souls that have not yet been touched with God‘s truth and light.
 
 
 
There are places within each of us that desperately need touched by the life changing words and hand of our Lord. There are also those places that you have been touched deeply, and you have been changed miraculously. But even with that said He still wants to work deeper in every area touched or untouched within us.
 
My next thought as I ponder this brings me to sharing the truth of the importance that each of us seek God with all of our heart that He would show us those areas within us that still need touched by His Word so He can continue to mold us with His loving hand.
 
So the scripture in Psalm 51:6 speaks that He longs to enthrone truth throughout our being.   Oh Lord!   Permeate our being with the truth that we need to continue to be transformed by Your loving hand.  Let us be reminded that the truth that we know should be guarded and not compromised by what we feel or do not feel like doing. Truth must reign or be enthroned above our feelings, emotions, and it should not moved by what is going on around us.
 
Let us ask Him today for continued wisdom and strength as we purpose to guard and keep the truth that we have embraced and enthroned within us. May we also keep open hearts that He can speak to us about those spiritual virgin caverns of our souls. May we long for His light to touch every part of our being,  all those  unseen places in Jesus Name!
 
 
 
Blessed and favored by God are those who keep His testimonies, And who [consistently] seek Him and long for Him with all their heart.
Psalm 119:2 – Amplified version
