With Hearts of Endless Praise We Praise You

 Glorious Lord God over all that exists, our hearts are full of the praises your generous works give birth to. For all that you are Lord, there are not praises numerous or grand enough to honor the magnitude of your glory. The mere sound of your awesome voice spoke the world into existence and the thundering power of your whisper could rend it to oblivion. Great is your power and majesty beyond our ability to comprehend in terms that we can put words to.

But the power of your patience Eloihim, speaks endless volumes to the repentant who know they're not worthy of the magnitude of your grace. Who could truly know you and not be so hopeful and deeply in love with you as to make the affections and appliances of this world seem like filth on the dinner plate of our lives? There is no end of time to those eternal and no loss to those who have all to gain by your grace. Your mercy is overwhelming to the heart that knows failure in the face of the unearned volume of all that you offer in love and kindness.

There is no measure known to man to measure you Lord, or the gain of your offer against the measure of the attractions of this world. You're boundless and limitless, as is your hope and love for us. Oh Lord like many before us, we stand in awe lacking the ability to comprehend the value you choose to place on us and the effort you put forth to woo us. Oh Lord, that we could understand what you see in us! But Yeshua, our gratitude for the pleasure you take in us is unmeasureable also!

Like the bride of Hosea redeemed, we stand before you Lord. For you have paid the price to buy us back from the unspeakable fate of our failures and obsessions. You have redeemed us from the destiny we have earned by our weakness and unfaithfulness. An act unexplainable except by the depth of your love for us. So Lord we pray, give us strength in our weakness to stand strong in your house and bring joy to your heart for immeasurable days out of hearts overflowing with gratitude and affection. May our actions bring great honor to you our beloved, and may our words be praises that reach you with melodious fragrance that thrills your heart. Lord all that we have to give in return for your mercy and grace is this life you have first given us and then bought for us yet again. May we have true perspective to see the value you place on our love and burn with the desire to give it in spirit and in truth to you, our greatest love for all of the endless moments of time in eternity. Let it be so.

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 ...
