Building Capacity

Scratching the surface.

Removing the surface.

Removing the rubble.

Digging in the sand.

Your hand upon the sand.

The feeble touching the feeble.

The hand upon the sand.

The pushing back.

The removal of the feeble.

The mighty hand upon the sand.

The excavation continues.

The digging deep, the digging of the deep.

Rapid progress.

The clearing, the clearing away, the way of the clearing, I am clearing the way.

In a moment, in an instant, what is it you see? What is it you feel?

I see the sand, I see the clearing. Yet I push against it, and I expect it to move. Yet that which I push against cannot be moved. I was not expecting this?

Behold, just be and hold. Hold on to that which is true.

Push away the rubble, clear away the rubble. Let’s have a closer look.

What is it you see?

The buried artefact, buried wall, the buried boundary.

You push against this boundary, yet this boundary is yours, this boundary is for you, borne a long time ago, crafted by my hand.

What is the point of a buried boundary. Excavated on one side, elevated on the other?

You must understand this my son….

I am taking this ground!

I am literally taking this ground.

I am performing my own excavation.

In a moment, a great moment, a great moment of breaking, a split, a chasm, a breaking point, a point that breaks open a way, that clears the ground, that establishes the boundary, that cannot be crossed over.

What is the point of a wall with vacant ground, dug up ground, excavated ground, without ground, with no place to stand?

It is my version of capacity planning.

For I am removing that which stands in the way of my building project. It is for greater capacity. Much greater capacity. Exceedingly great capacity.

By my strength you shall clear away the rubble.

By my own strength I will release a blessing so great that you cannot contain it.

I have set my own boundary. I have built my own container, a place for my capacity to dwell.

From the place of the ruin, from the place of the collapse, to the palace.

For I have hold of that which seeks to take hold of you.

It writhes against you, it hisses against you, yet I have cut off its supply.

Strangled by its own approach, rendered powerless, without power, only the power of the less. Soon to be dead and discarded.

Micah 7:7-11 But as for me, I will look to the Lord and confident in Him I will keep watch; I will wait with hope and expectancy for the God of my salvation; my God will hear me. Rejoice not against me, O my enemy! When I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the Lord shall be a light to me. I will bear the indignation of the Lord because I have sinned against Him, until He pleads my cause and executes judgment for me. He will bring me forth to the light, and I shall behold His righteous deliverance. Then my enemy will see it, and shame will cover her who said to me, Where is the Lord your God? My eyes will see my desire upon her; now she will be trodden down as the mire of the streets. In the day that your walls are to be built a day for building, in that day shall the boundary of Israel be far extended and the decree against her be far removed.
