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.

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...

If I Worry At All...

For the last year I've been engaged in a writing project that requires me to answer a series of questions posed over the fifty two weeks of the year. My answer to the last question that I chose to answer is one that I decided to share because it's always on my heart and mind... What do you worry about? I know that worrying itself changes nothing but there are some things that cause me deep worry. And of those particular things, there are none that I have the power to change on my own, but they are instead those that I have to appeal to Christ’s mercy to intercede. I have deep worry for the souls of all of my loved ones because I know that despite all that we might find concern for in our passing through of this world, there’s only one account that will, for all time, require an answer from all of us. That response, having already been made while we journeyed here, will leave us without further opportunity to answer. Our choice, made in this current life, will leave us either pr...
