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

Where Truth Is Found...

"He that cannot forgive others, breaks the bridge over which he himself must pass if he would ever reach heaven; for everyone has need to be forgiven." - George Herbert, British Poet 1593 - 1633 The above is a true statement and one could give credit to George Herbert for his wisdom in that saying, but the truth and wisdom found in those words did not originate with him. They originated with The Author of truth and wisdom - The Judge of the universe... “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses." Matthew 6:14-15 (NKJ) ...Christ Jesus. With deception being a tool of the enemy   and being spread  widely with the help of mankind these days, it's a struggle for some to recognize what the truth really is. It's good for us who follow Christ to remember that whatever we might think or reason with ourselves to be true, our opinion c...

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...

God Blesses Those...

"And seeing the multitudes, He went up on a mountain, and when He was seated His disciples came to Him. Then He opened His mouth and taught them, saying:... " Matthew 5:1&2 (NKJ) In the 5th chapter of the book of Matthew, we find Jesus teaching His disciples. What He taught them there is often referred to as the Sermon on the mount. And within that teaching are a number statements that are commonly referred to as The Beatitudes. I humbly suggest that whoever it was that coined that term might have been more accurate and to the point if they had called them  The " BE-  Attitudes" since Jesus was in fact telling His disciples both then and now, about the spirit of how to "be". “Blessed are the poor in spirit,  For theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn,  For they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek,  For they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,  For they shall be filled. Blessed a...
