20101027: Heaven and Earth become one - Here in Your Presence

Just realised that Ps14 and 53 are almost identical! Earlier blog was on the heavenly view from the little hand made space aircraft. Looking down the aerial view - from 100,000 ft view and below.

Many times in the bible, the verse says the kingdom of God is here.

What does it mean actually?

Gen28. The record of Jacob's dream of a stairway resting on the earth with its top reaching heaven and angels of God ascending and descending on it. And when he woke up, he declared the place Bethel - house of God, the gate of heaven. Awesome place. And the Lord promised that he is with him and will watch over him wherever he goes, never leave him. That's HIS PRESENCE.

The fool says in his heart "There is no God"

Yet , God looks down from heaven on us to see if any of us understand and seek Him.

Everyone has turned away, become corrupt, no one does good.

When the Lord's presence fall upon us, we are indeed undone.

Our works are like filthy rags.

David was a man after God's heart. Yet he too fell like anyone else.

But what makes him different among others? Guess, the Lord sees his heart. David understood God. He sought after Him. Will we do the same?
