Lord, You Are


Lord,


You are the hand that carved out the oceans and canyons and piled high the pinnacles of the mountains. You are the creator and the life force of everything that lives. From the simple complexity of the uncountable leaves of everything that rises from the earth to the incredible marvel of all living flesh, you are the artist and creator who imagined it all. Your genius is indescribable and good beyond measure.


You are the majestic, awesome and mysterious wonder of the night sky. The marvels of your character are as without limit as the canvas of the heavens you created. Your will alone is the power that holds the heavenly bodies in place and gives permission for stars to fall my omnipotent Father. They dance at your whim and twinkle with delight in your presence.


Your spirit is the cool rushing mountain stream that gives life and refreshment to the face of the earth cascading over the high places and thundering as it falls. It washes away the debris of this life and in your time, smooths even the hardest stone hearts and shapes living pathways that only it can foretell.


Your life is in the cry of every newborn creature and your spirit in the tenderness of a mother's heart. Your boldness is in the heart of every man who stands against the overwhelming oppression of loves' enemy in just and righteous cause. You are the undeniable source of all that is eternally good, omnipotently powerful and truly wise.


There are no words or salutations of men just or worthy to describe the greatness of your glory, but the sweet song of your immeasurable humility rings out across the universe in the greatest volume in a song that you sing over lowly creatures such as us. It's a song you sing to the unworthy, the fallen and disgraced. It's melody gave light to the sun and set all of creation in motion - it's the song of your love for us.


My heart cannot find words my God to do justice to the depth of my gratitude for the honor you bestow on me to be called your child. Great and awesome Spirit who walks among the stars and gives birth to all things great and good, I know not what brings your affection or even your notice to such a creature fashioned from the dust of the earth. But in all humbleness of heart and spirit I give my thanks in unending worship and praise for as many moments that eternity holds. My heart and my love are yours forever ...

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 ...
