Homage To My King

With my countenance bowed low before you, my heart declares the truth by your word, that before all time, you existed my Lord. Before the earth, the sun and the moon were created and hung in the expanse of the universe, you alone were God and you created them all with a plan to give life to men that you could call friend

At the mere sound of your voice, the mountains rose from the depths of the earth for men to see towering above the land as monuments declaring your majesty. They rise high above that which you alone have created that men might know your power to create them and give praise to their God.

You gathered the seas from the corners of the earth and you alone command their boundaries. Your hand hung the stars above them to give guidance to those that you would bring to travel over their depths. In all things, you give men guidance with the choice to follow.

It was your voice alone that brought all things to be in your creation and it is by your voice that all things are held in fragile and perfect balance. The sun, the moon and the planets all move in graceful orbit to the dance that you commanded. We cannot begin to understand the depths of your power that brings these things to existence or the complexity of the least of that which you created by the mere sound of your voice.

You are both Abba Father and Elohim to me. My heart knows longing and fearful anguish when you are silent, but your voice brings both joy and fear to my heart when you speak. For your voice is that of my Father and the words are the word of my God. All that matters is of you and my life hangs in the balance of your words for your word is the powerful truth that rules all that exists.

Who am I that you allow me to stand in your presence before you? Who am I Lord that you give me choice to believe? I pledge my Lord that for me there is only one response to be given to this choice. I pay homage to you alone my God, for I am only the gathered dust of your work and the creation of your hand. I live only by your breath in me. If you should withdraw it, I would live no more. If there be any good in me, anything worthy, it exists in your holy breath and your spirit within me.

Who am I Lord, that you would sacrifice your own to reconcile me to yourself that I may continue to exist in your presence? I bow my head in shame for my ignorance of the full depth of your greatness and the lack of my ability to understand the depths of your undeserved love. I am humbled beyond words by your undeserved mercy and will forever be awed by your holy power.

I mourn that I have not more to offer in return for all that you have given than the heart that you gave me. But I offer it freely, praying my Lord that it might bring joy to your own heart and a smile to your holy face. I pray that I will always serve faithfully your hearts desire and surrender wholly to your will in deep and loving reverence. For you are my God and my Father, He who was and always will be and I am only the undeserving child created by your loving hearts' desire.

Your love alone has made me a prince in the kingdom of the one true God. A title I could never earn and a reward that I could never deserve. But one bought for me by the King of the universe by your own selfless suffering and sacrifice out of the great love of your heart. Who could choose otherwise my Lord than to pay loyal homage to your awesome greatness? Forever my heart is yours.

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...
