When I had walked the fullness of my ability I found I was no farther than at first.
It was not till He taught me to listen to His voice that I found my steps to move me.
We will not find salvation in the religion of our chosing.
After all, look around you, how many religions can you count?
Where shall a man turn to find the “truth”?
JESUS! JESUS! JESUS!
Now that I know what He had in store for me all those decades I wonder.
What was I waiting for?
By His Grace.
You heard the news and thought with joy.
What wonders might this be?
I bekoned you to come and see.
“Come play with this new toy”.
The news you heard was not from there.
It comes from up above.
I bid you take from Holy hands,
This Great and Precious Love.
By His Grace.
Imagine how foolish it would be for God to say to any man, “Follow Me and Keep My Ways”. Only to turn and walk away, leaving the man to flounder in his own understanding. Yet isn’t this what most believers in America believe? Is it true that God left His people as orphans after saving their souls? We all know that the answer to that question has to be a stern NO.
Who taught you this? Where is the power in human understanding? I’m not accusing anyone. Just pointing out that Jesus does not leave His people to fend for themselves. And what shall we say of Jesus’ statement to Pilate: “You can do nothing to me if it were not given to you from above”? We often look at what we are caused to endure as “just part of the game of life”. But Hebrews teaches us differently: “Endure hardships as discipline. God is treating you as sons”.
There is a belief that God’s activity in this world was completed during the times when the Bible was written. This is to say that all God’s activity in mankind lasted only about 100 years. I don’t find this to be true. He is speaking and leading into great things this very minute. It is possible that we are so busy with the demands of this world that we miss His calling. Remember the statement: “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever”? If He was willing to announce His Glory through the early Christians, He is willing today to do the same for us.
If I’m wrong, I encourage anyone to prove it. Sincerely, show me where we are supposed to go about becoming Holy as He is Holy on our own. What does any man know of Holy? Wouldn’t this be something like giving our children bubble wrap and telling them that if they eat it they will grow big and strong?
But if I’m right and we do have access to the very voice of God through Jesus. Then consider the possibilities. What could a people accomplish when they hear the very voice of God directing them in His Holy Will? Only, let us be careful not to adopt a religion which has no power. It is not God’s will that His people remain in darkness. He is more than willing and able to lead them out. And I find that as I watch every aspect of every minute, God is working His Great will through, around, and in me. This should be the case for all who proclaim the love of God in Christ Jesus!
By His Grace.
I got ears. So how come I don’t hear so well?
I got eyes but all I see is mud.
I thought I had learned that good things are within my reach.
So how come my hands are empty with riches of this world?
Here comes Jesus, the Glorious One who is called “The Ancient of Days”.
In His hand are two ears and two eyes. How strange, I thought, that these should be in His hand.
He said when He returned His reward would be with Him. But ears and eyes?
“Here, put these on and follow me”. OH WOW! What a difference! Now I both hear and see!
By His Grace.
We wake and yawn from a nights helpless sleep.
We prayed the night before our souls that He should keep.
And now we see a future pressed out before our eyes.
Another day has dawned. Yet much to our surprise.
It is no different than the one before; this day of possibilities.
For we have not changed. We are the same; a mess of liabilities.
We trust You Lord, our lips were heard to say.
“Can I trust You” the answer comes, “With holiness this day?”
How shocked we’ll be when His Dawn fully comes.
That we wasted so much time.
We traded dirt for gold and dross for coins
Yet He remains sublime.
By His Grace.
We: Live, Die, Face Judgment. Jesus or die twice.
