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.

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 ...
