Dawn Of Your Presence

Like the first rays of light in the dawn of the morning, your presence brings life to my heart. It scatters the darkness of sleepy confusion to give light to my feet. It brings me from sleep to open my eyes and greet your heart in humble gratitude for the grace of another day. Your glory lives in the light of the wisdom you share with the heart of your child and it rises to give sight to see the world that I live in. As your glory shines, the darkness flees, and the light of your word grows in strength and rises to crest in my heart. It comes with the revealing power of your spirit and the warmth of the only truth.

As your spirit moves across my heart, I rise from slumber to greet the light of your glory, stretching out to capture the warm rays of your heart. Your love is my sustenance, your wisdom the fertile soil in which I take root. When the darkness is vanquished in the heart of this, your child, I flourish in the sunlight of your glory to wax strong against the next coming darkness. As the time of my day grows again short, the gathering clouds foretell the coming rain of your spirit. The gathering mists in the skies of my life and the rolling thunder herald the coming of your power. Your spirit falls like rain upon the desert places of my heart to give me growth and new life in the barren wilderness of this world. It falls as you will it, to give me the strength that is needed to prevail against the next coming darkness and I draw it in and am refreshed and renewed. And when the next darkness comes again attempting to hide my way, I do not fear its shadow. For I carry the spirit of light within me and I know the faithfulness of my God to bring the dawn again.

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...

Caution And Reverence In These Passing Days

"But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction. And many will follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed. By covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words; for a long time their judgment has not been idle, and their destruction does not slumber."         2 Peter 2:1-3 (NKJV) It's an inescapable fact that we were created by the same God that created the heavens and the earth and everything in them. Mankind may say or declare, even forcefully, anything contrary against it, but mankind's warbling has no effect on the truth of what God's said and it'll be proved out when He avenges against their wickedness in defense of His own name. There are those among the secular scholars and Darwinists- the "intellectuals",  that dispu...
