Psalms 27:14 TPT   “Here’s what I’ve learned through it all: Don’t give up; don’t be impatient; be entwined as one with the Lord. Be brave and courageous, and never lose hope. Yes, keep on waiting— for he will never disappoint you!”

We usually see this verse translated as Wait upon the Lord…..  which is entirely appropriate.  But the Hebrew qavah has richer meanings.  Here they are, “to tie together by twisting” or “to entwine” or “to wrap tightly”.

What a beautiful picture of our active work of waiting on the Lord.  It’s not throwing it to the man upstairs and leaving it with Him while we go about or life on earth..   It is an active pursuit of intimacy with Papa for the sake of becoming closer and closer to Him.   Not to pester Him about the answer, but we move closer to Him because we know that in Him are all the answers to all the questions and He will share them with us if we just get close, get quiet and listen.

The verse uses the word qavah twice, which emphasizes our need to continually entwine with Papa to be able to hear Him better and be strengthened in our faith, courage, hope, love and trust in Him.

Psalms 27:4 TPT   “Here’s the one thing I crave from Yahweh, the one thing I seek above all else: I want to live with him every moment in his house, beholding the marvelous beauty of Yahweh, filled with awe, delighting in his glory and grace. I want to contemplate in his temple.”

David sought with all his heart to be in the presence of Papa as much as humanly possible. He lived under as much of the New covenant as was possible before the cross.   He said it best here, “l want to live with Him every moment in his house”.

We are there now, by the grace of Yahweh, living continually in His presence because Holy Spirit has taken up residence in us.  We are that temple (house), the very indwelling expression of the trinity on this earth.

Yeshua came to show us the very essence of Papa through the power of the Holy Spirit who filled Him.  He laid out the pattern for all His brothers and sisters who would follow Him. Now, we are a multitude of little Christs “Christians” filling the whole earth with the Spirit of the living God.

Where He was able to turn the whole Roman Empire upside down with 12 disciples.  We as His brethren will indeed turn the whole world on its ear.  Our job is to stay connected to the voice of Holy Spirit and do the works of Yeshua, yes and even more as He said we would.

Abide in that secret place, His temple in your heart and out of your belly will flow rivers of living water.  Yes it says rivers, plural.

John 7:38 TPT  “Believe in me so that rivers of living water will burst out from within you, flowing from your innermost being, just like Scripture says?”
