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 ...

If I Worry At All...

For the last year I've been engaged in a writing project that requires me to answer a series of questions posed over the fifty two weeks of the year. My answer to the last question that I chose to answer is one that I decided to share because it's always on my heart and mind... What do you worry about? I know that worrying itself changes nothing but there are some things that cause me deep worry. And of those particular things, there are none that I have the power to change on my own, but they are instead those that I have to appeal to Christ’s mercy to intercede. I have deep worry for the souls of all of my loved ones because I know that despite all that we might find concern for in our passing through of this world, there’s only one account that will, for all time, require an answer from all of us. That response, having already been made while we journeyed here, will leave us without further opportunity to answer. Our choice, made in this current life, will leave us either pr...

Caution And Reverence In These Passing Days

"But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction. And many will follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed. By covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words; for a long time their judgment has not been idle, and their destruction does not slumber."         2 Peter 2:1-3 (NKJV) It's an inescapable fact that we were created by the same God that created the heavens and the earth and everything in them. Mankind may say or declare, even forcefully, anything contrary against it, but mankind's warbling has no effect on the truth of what God's said and it'll be proved out when He avenges against their wickedness in defense of His own name. There are those among the secular scholars and Darwinists- the "intellectuals",  that dispu...
