Adoring Dispense


Who is equal to the sovereign Lord and what oblation of obeisance is not due Him?

 The thundering and cataclysmic devastation of all that we know would simply be the faintest whisper of His power. His reach extends to the farthest corners of an unending universe. There is no escape from His gaze and no limit to His mighty and terrible power ... and no measure capable against the expanse of His unfailing love for it is without limit...

 His justice towers over the unjust and the wicked as an object of impending terror and date of recompense, yet His mercies are extended to the guilty submissive to Him in repentance and redemption. As the origin of all that is just, He offers the freedom of choice even to future destiny. If any perish, it is through their freedom to choose it...

 He reigns above all that exists and stands high over the heavens in unequaled power and glory, yet has the heart of humility to suffer exquisitely in the quest to redeem what is so unworthy. He suffers heart breaking injustice at the hand of His own creation in a search for true beauty - His quest to find what He treasures... sincere love, freely offered...

 He is the father of all fathers to those who choose to be His true children. His counsel and correction are the joy and treasure of those who call Him Abba in truth. His wisdom followed becomes their crown of honor and unperishing wealth under the audience of the heavens. They will not be disappointed and their hearts' desire will ever be for Him...

 He is blameless and perfect in His ways and wisdom. His compassion is toward the powerless, the humbly broken and those who suffer others' misused freedom to choose. He will take an accounting and exact justice against the injustices they have suffered in the day of reckoning and will lift them up. He is the rescuing savior of all that are His children ...

 In His omnipotent power He speaks what He will and His perspective is the truth of what exists before men without question. Only fools speak against Him or challenge His decrees for it is in the face of His compensation toward their own spoken destiny. He will stand before all men and the host of heaven to defend His reputation against them...

 But for those of spirit kindred to His own, He will hold them close on that day. They will see Him with adoring eyes and fellowship with Him throughout endless time. Their tears will be wiped away and all they have suffered in their journey will be counted as nothing against the day of their reunion with Him in the indescribable glory of His presence...

 Stars may fall and the earth collapse to be rolled up like a scroll, but their contentment and joy will never be diminished in their wondrous inheritance through His unearned grace. Far beyond the reaches of harm and in the presence of overwhelming glory devoid of sin, peace will finally reign and the desiring spirits of men be at graceful rest...

 Oh Lord, indeed you are good! It is forever my loving joy to echo the truth of your own declaration - that You are God and there is no one like You.

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 ...

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...

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...
