Spirit Eyes

Lord, you’re moving all around us, yet with eyes open no one sees
If we could only see you present, it would bring us to our knees
 
Would we act and speak much different if we saw you by our side?
If we saw that you were watching and there's nothing we could hide?
 
Where is holy justice to you our sovereign Lord?
That because we just can’t see you, that you should be ignored?
 
We need your true perspective to guide us through this place
to know our true dependence rests on your pure and faithful grace
 
The world teaches a reality that leaves our hearts divided
So we work and struggle to gain the things you alone provided
 
Because we forget and we move on while hearts are beating still
Remind us that we only live and breathe because of your good will
 
Despite your holy promise we find such cause for fear
because we see with human eyes that fail to see you near

Troubled hearts take courage when they see their Father’s hand
So heal our eyes to see your face, and your sovereign glory stand

Give sight to the blind to see your hand working in our midst
So that we can walk with emboldened courage in part because of this
 
Give us eyes that see truth that's hidden in this world in which we live
Eyes blessed with the true and eternal vision that only you can give

Grant us eyes to see the power of our truly grace bought share
Earned by our holy brother on a cross that He alone could bear
 
Make fast our hearts that wait in longing to see your presence near
and remove the veil to see you're coming to take us far from here

Pray do not let us not be beguiled by evil's wicked song
Give our spirits eyes to see our God and the place that we belong

Beware Of Available Poison

"Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world." 1 John 4:1 (NKJV) At the risk of sounding like the proverbial broken record, I can't help feeling the urge to repeat a common theme of a number of my previous posts. I feel driven to repeat it especially in these last days when the continually changing circumstances around us may leave us searching for the low hanging fruit of easy comfort in words that may tend to soothe us, but lack the proper context that they were intended by God to be carried in.. What I say here is more intended toward those that have not exercised diligence in consuming for themselves what the Lord has given us in scripture, scripture that has the ability to bless us in so many ways when rendered as The Author intended. Not the least of these is the ability to spot inaccurate, and even boldly spoken, false teachings of the day. Keep in mind that the enemy...

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 ...

The Price Of Divine Desire (Reposted)

  We often stop to think about our own circumstances - our own wants and needs. Our own desires are continually within a hairs breadth of our current thinking... How often though, do we give any thought to what Jesus wants - to what He's allowed Himself to desire with a costly passion? Do those thoughts guide the response to Him that we're living out? When Jesus began His ministry in human form on earth it was with the desire to please His Father. He knew what He wanted and He already knew beforehand what it would cost Him. The price was very high, but wrapped up in that desire to please His Father was another desire also - because what the Father loves with such passion, the Son loves passionately as well.  As Jesus ministered to the people that came to hear Him along with the others that He encountered during those 3 years of His adult ministry, He demonstrated His love for His Father by His obedience, but He also demonstrated the love that He had for people. It was and is a...
