Behold!

We started our study of the Hebrew letter Hey this week; which means Behold. Each day, the Lord reveals His awesomeness and glory through the things around us. He has revealed answers to questions we have had and even revealed a part of His plan for our lives each day at a time. What has the Lord revealed to you today?

The letter Hey is used in the Hebrew words for: The, Feminine, Shout of Joy, Tabernacle, Behold.

Psalm 119:33-40
Teach me, O LORD,
the way of Thy statutes,
and I shall observe it to the end.
Give me understanding, that I may observe
Thy law, and keep it with all my heart.
Make me walk in the path of Thy
commandments, for I delight in it.
Incline my heart to Thy testimonies,
and not to dishonest gain.
Turn away my eyes from looking at vanity,
and revive me in Thy ways.
Establish Thy word to Thy servant,
as that which produces reverence for Thee.
Turn away my reproach which I dread,
for Thine ordinances are good.
Behold I long for Thy precepts;
revive me through Thy righteousness.

Each of the verses in the fifth stanza of Psalm 119 starts with the letter Hey. The letter Hey means behold. The concept of behold, is that you are shown something that is distinct and clear, what you behold may even answer your question. These eight verses tell how God's teaching can give us understanding of His statutes. When His word is established in our lives, we revere Him.

Seek Your Scars
by Olga Savitsky

I rest in You: my All in All.
I seek Your scars.
I seek Your scars.
I seek Your scars.

I gaze into Your wounded side;
Source and flow of the blood-bought bride.
I seek Your scars.
I seek Your scars.

I gaze upon Your nail-scarred feet;
Gracing me forever to walk free
from failure and defeat.
I seek Your scars.
I seek Your scars.

Gazing upon Your nail-scarred hands;
Giving me blood-bought power to be free in
myself,
In my family line
And for the people of many lands.

Prince of Peace who bears the scars
of the crown of thorns.
You were crowned
with thorns and blood

That I might be crowned
with the Helmet of Salvation.
I stare deep at Your temple when
The punishment of my peace was upon You.
You paid the price.
You were the perfect sacrifice.

I bless and glorify Your Holy Name.
I gaze into Your heavily scarred
and deeply marred back
I am aghast
I have never seen the intensity of mutilation
Done to the loving one, deep inner wounds
No mere paper cuts--no mercy for Your back
That I might have multiplied mercy
millionfold mercy
And no lack.

I thank You again and stare in awe
of Your will and ways.
I stand in awe of Your resolute commitment
To me and for me.
Your blood spilled--
How can I say no to You?
My All in All--You gave Your All in All.
You ask for all my heart--
All my will and all my emotions.

I surrender to Your scars.
I surrender to Your scars.

I surrender to Your surrender.
Lord, I surrender to the healing You paid for.
Lord, I surrender to the peace You paid for.
Lord, I surrender to the beauty of Your
surrender.
I surrender to Your surrender.

Lord, I choose healing.
I choose by Your beatings, I am healed.
I am healed. I am healed.
I choose to seek Your scars.
The wonder of the price You paid.
You are mine, I am Yours.
Make my ways Your in-Your-face ways.
Make my ways Your seek-Your-scars ways.
I seek Your scars.
I seek Your scars.
I seek Your scars.

I praise You, for one day
You will wipe away every tear,
Yet choose not to wipe away
Your every Holy Scar.
