Who We Are

The Lord asked me "Did you hang the stars in the night sky to be seen by all who look upon them and do you know all of the names I have given them? Did you place the sun, the moon and the planets in perfect order and do you keep them in place?" "No Lord" I responded. "Then you're not the master of the heavens" He replied.

The Lord spoke again and He asked me "Did you give your breath to create life on the earth and all that sustains it? Did you give life to the animals and the ground that feed you? Can you give life to even one thing?" "No Lord" I responded. "Then you are not the giver of life" He replied.

The Lord spoke again and He asked me "Do you know the count of the leaves on the trees of the world or the number of the feathers that cover it's birds? Do you even know how many hairs are on your own head?" "No Lord" I responded." "Then you are not the accountant of the universe" He replied.

The Lord spoke again and He asked me "Do you know the measure of all of the waters of the world as they flow freely, rest in the oceans and float in the air? Can you calm the great seas when they rage?" No Lord" I responded. "Then you are not the master of the waters" He replied.

The Lord spoke again and He asked me "Are you the one who gives birth to the clouds, the power to the sun to shine, or the one who stirs the air to blow as the wind? Can you make the lightening strike with authority where you will it or give voice to the thunder that shakes creation when it speaks?" No Lord" I responded. "Then you are not the world's weather maker" He replied.

The Lord spoke once again and He asked me "Do you even know who you are?" Then I responded "Forgive me my Lord, but I am none of these things of which you spoke. I cannot control even myself to walk upright without your help. I gaze at the night sky captivated in wonder and awe. That which I struggle to build perishes and that which I plant only grows at your bidding. Its' life given by your hand that I may profit from it. I look upon creation in amazement at it's flourishing number and cannot conceive it's vastness or complexity. I cannot hope to control the waters of the world with any authority of my own and their measure is beyond my comprehension. I am at your mercy when the wind blows and the rains come. I seek shelter from the weather that comes for I am helpless to control it. The thunder and lightening appear at your command and they speak with your authority. The things I can do are not worthy of mention. I am weak and helpless to even have effect on these great things you have done. I am not even a speck to be worthy of your notice. Who am I Lord that you should even speak to me now?" Then the Lord responded "Hear me child and keep my words forever in your heart. For you are the one for whom I have done all that I have done in my great hope that you might find me worthy of your love. Your love is that which I value most above all that exists and all that I have created. You are my greatest work. My masterpiece. You are the object of my desire ... and you ... are the greatest love of my heart."

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 ...

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...

The Real Power To Affect Change

I know that my position here may not be popular on it's face at first, but I think it could be most revealing of where some hearts are - even my own, by the response that it evokes... I think it's possible that we're all partly responsible for the chaos and darkness that is constantly swirling around in the digital tornado that is the constantly hammering news these days. While we may not have contributed to it directly by our own actions, it's a good bet that we may have contributed to it by our own inaction. Where does the true power to change things come from? And who is our best example to follow in this life? Now in the morning, having risen a long while before daylight, He went out and departed to a solitary place; and there He prayed." Mark 1:35 (NKJ) "Now it came to pass in those days that He went out to the mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God." Luke 6:12 (NKJ) "Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought ...
