With Hearts of Endless Praise We Praise You

 Glorious Lord God over all that exists, our hearts are full of the praises your generous works give birth to. For all that you are Lord, there are not praises numerous or grand enough to honor the magnitude of your glory. The mere sound of your awesome voice spoke the world into existence and the thundering power of your whisper could rend it to oblivion. Great is your power and majesty beyond our ability to comprehend in terms that we can put words to.

But the power of your patience Eloihim, speaks endless volumes to the repentant who know they're not worthy of the magnitude of your grace. Who could truly know you and not be so hopeful and deeply in love with you as to make the affections and appliances of this world seem like filth on the dinner plate of our lives? There is no end of time to those eternal and no loss to those who have all to gain by your grace. Your mercy is overwhelming to the heart that knows failure in the face of the unearned volume of all that you offer in love and kindness.

There is no measure known to man to measure you Lord, or the gain of your offer against the measure of the attractions of this world. You're boundless and limitless, as is your hope and love for us. Oh Lord like many before us, we stand in awe lacking the ability to comprehend the value you choose to place on us and the effort you put forth to woo us. Oh Lord, that we could understand what you see in us! But Yeshua, our gratitude for the pleasure you take in us is unmeasureable also!

Like the bride of Hosea redeemed, we stand before you Lord. For you have paid the price to buy us back from the unspeakable fate of our failures and obsessions. You have redeemed us from the destiny we have earned by our weakness and unfaithfulness. An act unexplainable except by the depth of your love for us. So Lord we pray, give us strength in our weakness to stand strong in your house and bring joy to your heart for immeasurable days out of hearts overflowing with gratitude and affection. May our actions bring great honor to you our beloved, and may our words be praises that reach you with melodious fragrance that thrills your heart. Lord all that we have to give in return for your mercy and grace is this life you have first given us and then bought for us yet again. May we have true perspective to see the value you place on our love and burn with the desire to give it in spirit and in truth to you, our greatest love for all of the endless moments of time in eternity. Let it be so.

This "Christ"mas...

"And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,  Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men." Luke 2:8-14 (NKJ) As "Christ"mas approaches it usually finds me refreshing my knowledge and understanding of what I believe that it is that we as "Christ"ians should be celebrating in our observation of the event of Christ's birth. I do this in ...

If I Worry At All...

For the last year I've been engaged in a writing project that requires me to answer a series of questions posed over the fifty two weeks of the year. My answer to the last question that I chose to answer is one that I decided to share because it's always on my heart and mind... What do you worry about? I know that worrying itself changes nothing but there are some things that cause me deep worry. And of those particular things, there are none that I have the power to change on my own, but they are instead those that I have to appeal to Christ’s mercy to intercede. I have deep worry for the souls of all of my loved ones because I know that despite all that we might find concern for in our passing through of this world, there’s only one account that will, for all time, require an answer from all of us. That response, having already been made while we journeyed here, will leave us without further opportunity to answer. Our choice, made in this current life, will leave us either pr...

An Observance And Observing True Reality...

As Easter approaches, I begin once again considering how our God sees our observance of an occasion as I always do and also what He might truly desire of us in observance above any of our trivial, man inspired traditions . What I come away with in firm conviction is the understanding that the most trivial of my sins, the least of my crimes against God, had the power to forever damn me in His judgment of me and send me into unending torment. And that knowing this one thing in truth and as reality, is key to my correct posture before God in honor of His purpose in the event. That key being the horror of knowing that the price of my very least sin was the shedding of my Christ Jesus' blood and His horrible suffering, because the reality of this brings the deep rending of my heart in awe and gratitude and it makes possible my true joy at the relief of my sentence because of what He has done. I believe this is a part of what God would desire from us in observance of Christ's death a...
