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.

Where Truth Is Found...

"He that cannot forgive others, breaks the bridge over which he himself must pass if he would ever reach heaven; for everyone has need to be forgiven." - George Herbert, British Poet 1593 - 1633 The above is a true statement and one could give credit to George Herbert for his wisdom in that saying, but the truth and wisdom found in those words did not originate with him. They originated with The Author of truth and wisdom - The Judge of the universe... “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses." Matthew 6:14-15 (NKJ) ...Christ Jesus. With deception being a tool of the enemy   and being spread  widely with the help of mankind these days, it's a struggle for some to recognize what the truth really is. It's good for us who follow Christ to remember that whatever we might think or reason with ourselves to be true, our opinion c...

Fear not.

There's a lot going on in the world and a lot available to provoke fear for the future, but I have a question for anyone who might feel themselves tempted to fear - If you truly know God, does He ever change? “I am the LORD, and I do not change. That is why you descendants of Jacob are not already destroyed." Malachi 3:6 (NLT) We stand reinforced in our understanding and belief that He does not change, so... "The LORD says, “I will rescue those who love me.  I will protect those who trust in my name.  When they call on me, I will answer;  I will be with them in trouble.  I will rescue and honor them.  I will reward them with a long life  and give them my salvation.” Psalm 91:14-16 (NLT) I know that I said that I had "a" question, but I actually have another - do you really, truly love Him? “So don’t worry about these things, saying, ‘What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?’ These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heave...

God Blesses Those...

"And seeing the multitudes, He went up on a mountain, and when He was seated His disciples came to Him. Then He opened His mouth and taught them, saying:... " Matthew 5:1&2 (NKJ) In the 5th chapter of the book of Matthew, we find Jesus teaching His disciples. What He taught them there is often referred to as the Sermon on the mount. And within that teaching are a number statements that are commonly referred to as The Beatitudes. I humbly suggest that whoever it was that coined that term might have been more accurate and to the point if they had called them  The " BE-  Attitudes" since Jesus was in fact telling His disciples both then and now, about the spirit of how to "be". “Blessed are the poor in spirit,  For theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn,  For they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek,  For they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,  For they shall be filled. Blessed a...
