Orion...God's place in the heavens

I read a book some years ago from Ellen White and in one section she mentions that the Lord lives just beyond the middle star of the belt of Orion. Whether that's true or not you decide. From my experience, I am completely certain the New Jerusalem is behind the magnificent middle star of Orion.

Some people claim He lives far away in space, which in a physical sense is true. However, when I see the constellation of Orion, when I hear stories of God's work among the people of the earth, and when I experience the Holy Spirit working in my life, I know He is actually close to us. In fact, if we allow Him, He lives right in our hearts. Yes, His throne is in space, beyond the star, but He sees and hears us as if He is in our very presence.

He lives beyond the middle star of the belt of Orion. His throne is in a splendid city called Heaven. His presence is felt by those whose hearts are honest and true to Him. The Holy Spirit works on each and every heart that beats; He looks upon each child of Earth as His own. He is close to us. His love is amazingly beautiful that we will never comprehend the magnitude of it.

I look into the heavens, I see the grand belt of Orion, and I wave. He sees me, waves back and smiles. I can just imagine Him proclaiming, "Hey look! There is my daughter! She is waving at me and My heart is moved!" I in return feel an awesome presence surround me as I wave to the Creator of all things. He in return fills my heart with unexplainable sense of love and adoration.

My King and Creator, your Lord and mine sits on the Throne sending His love passing the gates of heaven, passing Orion's belt, passing the planets and stars, passing the atmosphere of earth, to the habitants of the world.

Orion is God's place in the heavens.

MICAH:
When you are walking a path and you find that you are no longer on the one you desire most, do not just keep running forward in rage, shame, ignorance, or false assumption. Stop, calm your mind, and return to the point where the two path diverged and return to your journey on the desired way.T.M.Coal

CHELSEY:
Now what a coincidence! I know what you mean by your metaphor but something happen Sabbath that reflects exactly what you have expressed in your statement. I went running on the marked trails in the forest. Unbeknown to me, somehow I got myself on a different path and I couldn't figure out why I kept running in circles. I just couldn't find the original (most desired) path that deverge off from the one I got myself stuck (and lost) on. Of course, in sheer frustration and anguish I kept on running as embarrassment and shame settled in my heart. I didn't want to look like a fool, by slowing down and searching for the one trail I longed to get back onto.

After an hour of running (a mile in circumference) in circles, I gave up and decided to slow myself to a walk. Guess what? After searching and walking for a few minutes, I found the path I needed to get back on to get out of the forest and into the meadow. (The "desired" path was narrow and hidden by an arch of trees and once you walk through this arch, you find yourself standing in awe and amazement as you look out into the meadow full of beautiful wild flowers and tall grass.)So thank you for your inspiration.

I had to laugh when I read your meaningful poem, I am sure you understand why! Your symbolic words became a live reality for me even though you were trying to apply this message to our walk in life. It is very meaningful! Thanks again!Blessings from on High,chelsey

MICAH:Blessings and I am very happy it provided some meaning for you. I hate when that happens both in material and spiritual reality :D. Happy Sabbath!
