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

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 ...

Judging, Judgment And Judge...

"I have come as a light to shine in this dark world, so that all who put their trust in me will no longer remain in the dark. I will not judge those who hear me but don’t obey me, for I have come to save the world and not to judge it. But all who reject me and my message will be judged on the day of judgment by the truth I have spoken. I don’t speak on my own authority. The Father who sent me has commanded me what to say and how to say it. And I know his commands lead to eternal life; so I say whatever the Father tells me to say.” John 12:46-50 (NLT) A lot is said these days about "judging", but in the midst of that popular societal buzz and the assertive comments that come with that conversation, I have a question: If God has called something sin and we simply agree with what He's said,... are we judging or just repeating and declaring the truth? When He walked the earth, Jesus spoke about judging and He pointed out the danger of our judging...  “Do not judge other...

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...
