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.

Pure Religion

I've struggled with the term "religion" for a long time because it has come to carry a connotation for me of something orchestrated, institutional - a perfunctory exercise. My preference instead has been to highlight my belief that what our God desires from us is instead "relationship". Then I ran across this and I had to pause... "Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you." James 1:27 (NLT) " Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world ." James 1:27 (KJ) It doesn't matter the translation, it appears the same. And in it I denote a familiar spirit. I recognize it from scripture after scripture dealing with the care of, and justice for, the widows and the fatherless... "Sing to God, sing praises to His name;...

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...

What If...

"For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.  And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account. "  Hebrews 4:12-13 (NKJ) I'm not one who appreciates the stoking of fear for the sake of it or unnecessarily. There are enough things in this life to keep people concerned and even constantly fearful if they subscribe to them. I would like though, to take a moment to encourage my brothers and sisters in Christ and any others who will take a little time to read this and give it some serious consideration because the subject has real   potential  consequences and there's still time to address any issues that we find upon reflection... If you were made aware that   sometime in the next hour  your life on earth was ...
