Humbled Offering


Lord, the count of your blessings far exceeds the measure of our gratitude daily. Their number escapes our conscious comprehension from moment to moment. From the daily provision for our human weaknesses in your creation to the faithfulness of our hearts of flesh to beat each second you are conscious of our need.


Lord, if we were truly aware of the expanse of your provision and planning for our growth and existence, we would be on our knees before you with thankful hearts both night and day. Our will would be surrendered without event or consideration to your own because you are the unequalled source of our blessing.


Lord, there can be no repayment equal to your consideration of us. Your thoughtfulness as God on our behalf could never be matched by human effort on any level. You alone are God and we, your own possession are merely the very creation of your great hand and there is no creation greater than the Master who crafts it.


Lord, my only comfort are the tears of gratitude that fall with great weight in your worship and that you hold in your hand as the evidence of my hearts true intention. Oh my God, I pray that you find them pure and that they find their way to be met in your heart with great pleasure. I pray that they have some value to you my God.


Lord, the suffering of my humbled heart in the shadow of your greatness and generosity can only be rewarded beyond measure if the sincerity of my thankfulness in earnest spirit and in truth have the power to bring a smile to your great and Godly face. For there is nothing that I can offer that you have not given me in grace.


Lord, I pray with all my heart that the true sincerity of your children rises up as a sweet aroma to satisfy and pleasure the nostrils of the God who reigns in pure goodness without limit over all that exists. And that our cognizance of your generosity becomes the fuel that fans the blaze of our offering to sincere praise and worship.


Lord, it's not important who I am or who I will ever be, only that you are recognized for who you are, who you have been and forever will be. For you alone are the omnipotent God of goodness and generosity beyond our ability to truly comprehend. And it is you Lord God whom we owe a debt of love we cannot repay.

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...
