Untitled Praise

Hear my heart for you, The One God who is holy! Hear my cries for your greater presence. Come near and hear the declarations of my heart for my greatest love. For it is you who satisfies my greatest longing and you for whom my heart yearns. I burn with the anticipation of your presence and pace in anguish when you are not near.

You give songs of joy for my tearful mourning and it's you who trades life for my imminent death. You bring great songs of joy to my heart by your generocity and tears of deep gratitude for your grace. Your mercy is beyond comprehension and your love beyond full knowledge of men. Your righteous ways bring unending joy and your peace brings calm in the greatest storm. I stand in the faithfullness of your promises and my heart swells with praises for the unshakeable future of your word.


Without you I stood worthless and void and life was not in me. But your spirit like the sun rising on the mornings horizon comes to shed warmth and light giving life to my soul. Your wisdom gives direction to my way and your understanding the will to follow. I joy in the whisper from your lips, your every word my treasure to follow. I stand before you without worthiness save by your grace. I am the dead resurrected, the condemned rewarded with life. I am the hopelessy indebted granted the riches of heaven in return for the heaviness of my burden.


You are the One God! You are the spirit of all that is truly good! Your very presence is my greatest blessing and your righteousness and mercy are my salvation and joy. Your hand brings my every provision, your strength is my defense. Those who mockingly threaten and and seek my intimidation don't know the source of my protection. Those who foretell my disgrace know not who lifts me up. Those who declare my shame know not who declares me righteous and those who forecast my disaster know not who writes the path of my future. I will not joy in their destruction, but bow humbly before my God, for I have no strength in my own being. The God of my creation stands with me, it is He who bears me up.


My life hangs on your every word, so my ears strain for the sound your voice. Your voice is the power that created all that I know. The stars and other heavenly bodies hold their place by your command and all the powers of creation from the smallest to the mightiest follow the authority of your voice. You alone have authority over all things. From the greatest to the least, all things answer to you. You alone have authority over my life and you alone write the story of my days. You alone have the power of life and death over me and I bow in deep reverence, abased and completely humbled before your great power and heart. You could have abandoned me and none could accuse you. You could cast me down and none could righteously blame you. You could send misery and deep agony to be my constant companion and I would be so deserving. But you chose instead to love me in my weakness, to joy in my surrender and ran to mend my well earned brokenness.


You could have rightly destroyed me. But instead, you have declared your love for me and hidden me in the robes of your own righteousness. My gratitude can never be quenched my Lord. My love for you runs faster than the cheetah to your heart and lies deeper than the deepst chasm. Whatever my hands and feet may do, whatever my mouth may speak, I pray let them bless you in great measure. I pray fearfully Lord, lest I ever fail you, let my heart always be forever faithfull to your every desire. Great and awesome Lord who has suffered much at the hands of those He's chosen to love, I alone cannot remove your terrible pain of rejection. But I pray Lord that my small and insignificant life can somehow bless richly the greatest heart that any can know and make you truly glad for your labor to create me. For you are great above all things and the undying greatest love of my humbled heart. Let my heart sing for you sweet songs of unending praise and listen I pray to my humble but true offering of love, for you are so much more than worthy.

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 ...

Judging, Judgment And Judge...

"I have come as a light to shine in this dark world, so that all who put their trust in me will no longer remain in the dark. I will not judge those who hear me but don’t obey me, for I have come to save the world and not to judge it. But all who reject me and my message will be judged on the day of judgment by the truth I have spoken. I don’t speak on my own authority. The Father who sent me has commanded me what to say and how to say it. And I know his commands lead to eternal life; so I say whatever the Father tells me to say.” John 12:46-50 (NLT) A lot is said these days about "judging", but in the midst of that popular societal buzz and the assertive comments that come with that conversation, I have a question: If God has called something sin and we simply agree with what He's said,... are we judging or just repeating and declaring the truth? When He walked the earth, Jesus spoke about judging and He pointed out the danger of our judging...  “Do not judge other...
