Life Looking Up

On a day when life might find me a victim poisoned by the unending news of mankind's unholy indifference and intentions, grace finds me still to revive my soul to courage and confidence. The word of life gives me renewed hope through reminding me of the one who holds my life's fortune. For it's not in the hands of men without moral compass or those who plot ungodliness with relentless indifference to determine my future. It resides firmly in the hand extended from the power that gave birth to the universe and all that it contains. My future is spoken irrevocably from the very mouth that birthed the multitude of stars and spoke into existence all that resides under the canopy of the heavens.

I am reminded that my sojourn in this lifelong education is not by chance, but divine choreography. What my eyes may see and my ears may hear are but opportunities for true examinations of my faith in the one on whom I am, in honesty, wholly dependent. For certainly there is nothing provided, not even my rescue without the origin of my provision being found in the maker of all things. Not a hair of my head, in its ever changing count is missed by the notice of the one who dotes on me. And no course of my life is without the utmost consideration toward planning the divinely profitable steps of my successful outcome in eternity.

In consideration, what may come, may come. But however it may appear, it will never come without being under the intense scrutiny and omnipotent authority of the one who regards me as the apple of His eye ... the one who I in reverent fear and adoration, call my Abba.

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...
