Bible Wonders - The Will Of The Crown

Did you ever wonder? Did you ever wonder?

I do. Did you ever wonder? Why the sun always rises, but the stars never fall?

Why dry land is never satisfied by water? And why fire never says enough? Will. So, when we pray with the Lord's Prayer, which I enjoy doing myself every morning, we say, your will be done. And so, to an extent, when we are starting out the Lord's Prayer, you know, we're kind of right in that realm. And that word in Hebrew, will, is pronounced Ratzon, and it has really neat letters in it. But not only does it mean will, but it really means delight. And so, I actually often pray, Lord, your delight be done. So, because the Lord delights in us doing his will. I mean, there's just, it's kind of synonymous. And the neat thing about that word, if you look inside of it, has to do with high spirited, you know, like he wants us to be either hot or cold.

And he certainly wants us to be hot. And then, there's this zadik, which we've talked about many times, it means righteousness. So, it's like, Jesus is the righteous one. And so, you know, his will is that we would have Jesus, clearly, and that we would live in that righteousness. And in seeing what's right with God is clearly his delight, and it's also his will. So, it's really, really cool. And then the word ends, you might hear the end sound, the Ratzon, that end at the end is both very much faith, and very much a seed.

Okay. So, in other words, there's nothing that delights God more than you just trusting him and believing him and, you know, just counting on him to make it right. It's a beautiful thing. So, that word Ratzon, when I think about it, is just phenomenal from a standpoint of his delight, his will be done. Your will is similar, by the way. You want people to have faith in you. You want people to do things right. And you want people to be spirited.

You don't want people around you that don't really care, that are apathetic. And so, it's kind of interesting that it'd be really cool, you know, to have people around you that want to delight you. And I certainly want to delight my wife, and I certainly want to delight my children.

And so, I love that word Ratzon. And then the word crown, which is kesser, which we've talked about before, the Jewish people wear this yarmulke, because, you know, they want this crown that's telling them that God's will is above ours. And so, we are going to bow to the will, the Ratzon of God by, in their case, they put a physical crown on to give them the sense of, oh, yeah, am I supposed to be going to get drugs right now, or am I supposed to be going to get work? Or whatever that would look like, where you're actually submitting to what God's will would be, or just being conscious that he's got this, right? I love the seventh anointing.

In Isaiah 11, you have the anointings of the Spirit of God, and the last one is a delight in the fear of the Lord. And that means that, you know, you have nothing, you just delight in the fact that God's got this. Whatever is going on in your life, he just has it. And so, if we can just bow to his will, to his crown, and say, you're king, you're going to handle this.

What can I do to make it better? And praying just is usually where that starts. It's just being in communication with you. And I love the way David did it in the 23rd Psalm, Lord, you are my shepherd, right? Lead me in paths. Because if you allow him to lead you, a path of righteousness for his name's sake, you know, plenty of food, there's all over, we talked about that in the 23rd Psalm. And then, beautiful is the ending, obviously, he's going to lead you to life everlasting, and you'll dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Something to wonder about today on Bible Wonders.
