How does our Heavenly Father see the word apprehend in Strong’s accordance in Greek:
to percieve, to behold fully, clearly see, seize, possess, attain, overtake, arrest, capture.
So I know my God has apprehended me…. He is the first that I think of in the morning…. Father, what do you have for me today? What can I learn of You today? I love You, Father, Jesus and Holy Spirit…. Help me today to fulfill the purpose You have called me into Your Son, My Lord.
He is my One Thing… He invaded my other one thing – horses awhile ago. I just was crazed about horses, especially my own. They consumed all of my time. They were my life, driving this obsession was the love of riding them.
Well, He came and invaded my red sea by splitting it in half to get my focus. He succeeded, as He always does! As I received grace, the invasion of questions entered my head…. This God created these magnificent beasts that have hooves- Why hooves? He created the flowing mane and tail that flew like as a cloud in the wind. Why did You put the long hair and tail there? Why did you give them those big silky brown eyes that I know hold Your secrets. Why?
Well, my focus became off of them to Him- The Great I AM…. I eventually found homes for my horses and turned my total attention to Him. The Truine Godhead… because He intrigued me with His love and His Grand Wisdom. I had so many questions that I got answered or I meditated and researched His Word to find the answer. I also researched what the Word meant from Hebrew, His language. He stole my heart as the horses had stolen my heart before…. but I went to the Creator. I had to know the God that created the horse, the elephant, the giraffe (why the blue tongue?) Why does a cat purr? I had questions upon questions for Him. He captured my heart by His tenderness and patience with my questions!!!!
I ask you today to make some time : turn off the noise, turn on some meditative music, no words…. and return to the time that the Lord first apprehended your life- the time He broke in and got your heart.
Everyone likes to reminisce with photgraphs of the best of times in their lives. Well, I believe the times when Eternity broke into the minutes of life to capture our heart is the best of our life… Reminisce with the Lord today….. turn off the world, turn off what intrigues you and turn to Him… Let us let Him enlarge our hearts as He gave the triple crown winner horse – Secretariat, so we may finish the race. In Psalm 119:32- I will run the course of Your commandments for You shall enlarge my heart.
Let us apprehend Him as He has apprehended us. We are in the middle of a great Love Story…..
