The Mercy Seat

Published in Reflections of a 19 year old, Saturday Psalm and Praise, The Daily Life at The Daily Planet, What the Bible means to Me- A 19 year old

Saturday Psalm & PraiseI was reading my Bible the other day and I was reading about after Moses was walking and talking with God on Sinai and God gave Moses the directions for the temple. I really enjoyed reading about the Mercy Seat. What a wonderful thing that Mercy Seat is!

Exodus 25:22
And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubims which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the children of Israel.

The Mercy Seat is where we can meet with God and He can take away our sins! HALLELUJAH!

Mercy Seat
In the darkness
Where everything is unknown
I face the power of sin on my own
I did not know of a place I could go
Where I could find a way to
Heal my wounded soul. He said that I could come into
His presence without fear
Into the holy place where
His mercy hovers near

I’m runnin’ I’m runnin’
I’m runnin’ to the mercy seat
Where Jesus is callin’ he said
His grace would cover me
His blood will flow freely
It will provide the healin’
Come runnin’ to the mercy seat
I’m runnin; to the mercy seat.

Are you livin’ where hope has not been?
You’re lost in the curse of a
Lifetime of sin
Lovely illusions they never
Come true I know where there’s a place
Of mercy for you
He said that you could come into his
Presence without fear
Into this holy place
Where his presence hovers near.

Come runnin’ come runnin’
Come runnin’ to the mercy seat
Where Jesus is callin’ he said his
Grace would cover you. His blood
Will flow freely it will provide the healin’
Come runnin’ to the mercy seat
I’m runnin’ to the mercy seat
He said that you could come into his presence
Without fear into the holy place
Where his mercy hovers near

I am so thankful for the Mercy Seat! That we are free to go into it any time and converse with our Savior! I know that I NEED the Mercy Seat like I need air and water. I need to be able to go into the place where God is and be with Him and talk with Him. Isn’t it just a awesome gift that God has given us? I want to run to that Mercy Seat daily to be in His presence!
I am going to make sure that everyday along with my Bible reading and prayer time that I have a time set aside to run to the Mercy Seat to be with Him.
Thank you Lord for your Mercy Seat!
Love, Prayers and Blessings,

Thanks for stopping by “Daily” at the “Planet”!!

    PRAISE GOD!! I am so thankful for the `Mercy Seat`. I Love this song.
    My own righteousness is as filthy rags.
    There was a song a played when I was saved. Not sure of the exact title or who sang it. But, it talks about `I believe in Miracles, because I’m a miracle myself`.
    Our ladies Bible Study did Beth Moore’s book `A Woman’s Heart: God’s Dwelling Place`. It’s based on Exodus, AWESOME!
    Love Ya,
    Mrs. Michelle@JourneyHome
