In today\u2019s episode Jodi shares, that we are invited to sit with \u201cMercy\u201d for a while. No matter who we are, where we come from, nor our past, Mercy invites us in to spend time in His Powerful Presence. She also prompts us to lift the lid of the Ark of the covenant to see what items are inside and how the history represented within enhances the power of His presence.

Here are some scriptures she references:

Exodus 25:21-22, \u201cYou shall put the mercy seat on top of the ark\u2026 There I will meet with you; and from above the Mercy seat, from between the two cherubim which are upon the ark of the testimony, I will speak to you about all that I will give you in commandment for the sons of Israel.

When we open up the Ark of the Covenant we will see:

1.)\xa0\xa0\xa0 A golden jar with preserved manna. (Exodus 16:33-36, Hebrews 9:4)

2.)\xa0\xa0\xa0 Aaron\u2019s budded rod. (Numbers 17:1-13 but specifically vs. 10)

3.)\xa0\xa0\xa0 The tables of the covenant (10 commandments). (Exodus 25:16, Deuteronomy 31:26)

God\u2019s history with the Israelites has proven over and over that He is faithful, holy, and Sovereign.

What history do you have with God?

What items could you place in a special box to remind you of the history you have with God?

As we ponder on our history with God, it strengthens us and stirs us to be courageous in the calling He has placed on our lives. It draws us into the heartbeat of God for the lost, afflicted, and the prisoner. They need to know that they too can have a history with God if they would only meet Him.

I pray you have been encouraged to sit with Mercy for a while today. I would love to hear from you. Please leave a comment below or go to my website at www.JodiAiken.com.
