I have never found a Music more lovely than a sad song. It’s not the lyrics they use, it’s the melody that accompanies it. When the soul cries through Music it is exquisitely melodic.
What melody accompanied the crucifixion of Christ? The fullness of God’s will in all eternity. Death trying to consume heaven.
Man’s ears are not made to hear it. Even the soul cannot taste it’s fullness. It is the song of God’s victory over unspeakable sorrow.
Written on the ocean on March 2, 2017. But ever so eternally poignant.
The waves beat against the hull of the ship.
With a silent and determined anger;
With gluttony for autonomy,
They desire “unimpeded”.
See how the steel says, “No”.
See how they are forced to go,
Dissipated.
How the strength of their ruin is utterly devastated.
How, with present Will
pressed against them,
they turn to white frothing.
At the majesty they encounter;
They turn to –
Mere nothing.
Like they do as the wind whips them up,
in small measure
The sea is dotted with purity.
Yet:
With impassable Will
All is turned back.
“You will not pass.
I cannot relent.
I move through your midst,
My strength never spent.”
Be still!
Cease your work!
Bow to Me!
My people will pass
Speaks The Maker He.
Move Holy Spirit.
Move through my soul.
Be the ship that carries
The desire of Your own will.
As it has been from old.
Be in me the strength of your love.
Keep me on the
“Inward side.”
(I apologize for giving a S in the title. Literary law requires it, or I would not have done it.)
It is said that the Liberals are aghast at the declaration of Mrs. Trump, that she is a practicing Catholic.
(This small article assumes that the report is accurate. Given the flavor of the day, I tend to think it is.)
I’m not gonna bother to go into a justifiable rant regarding their hypocrisy. Let me simply say this:
If you will come unglued at an honest declaration of religion from your First Lady, what will you do when the Holy Father unveils His Righteous and Holy Son on the day of your judgment. “There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
Not only do they make no preparation for the inevitable, they deny it’s very existence and venomously despise any reference to it. Worshipping inclusion, they despise a singular truth.
This sounds to me exactly like I expect the demons to respond; adoring the darkness, they despise even a sliver of light among them. (and that’s all her decoration is folks, just a sliver of light in this vast coal dark world.) Who then is driving their worship of “tolerance”?
The advice of God to such people is to drop your pride and humble yourself before Him that HE can give you eyes to see and ears to hear. For now, you are so engrossed in trivial nothingness that you cannot see the approaching devastation of your soul. You elevate nothing as if it is something. But “SOMETHING” is surely approaching. When the Father speaks “the end”, the something will appear with nowhere to hide.
And I am amazed at how rare these words are in such a perverse society is this. Even the conservative pundits respond with trivial nothingness. They simply respond to a slap in the face by slapping the face of the attacker. Tell me, what is accomplished? (satan smiles)
This event is so foolish that even a fool like me can see it clearly. On the clock of eternity, what time is it?
By His Grace.
The new bride came home to her new home!
She said a quick “Thank you and I love you” to her new husband. Then she went about adoring the walls and furniture, ceiling and floor.
Not a problem you say. That was the last time she paid serious attention to her husband.
She would cook for him is if it were a duty. And all the other chores of a wife she carried out without fail. She would let her lips brush his four head, as if that were a substantial sign of love.
Her heart was so detached from him he might well have not been her husband at all.
But do not judge her for infidelity. There was no other man in her life. The problem is, there was no man in her life at all. Still he was faithful to keep her as his wife.
Does this draw a picture of your relationship with your husband Christ Jesus?
We are the sum of what we have done and what we are currently doing.
The people loved the Lord Jesus when he gave them food to eat. But they crucified him for giving them his Father’s food to eat.
All focus on the body, isn’t it? Is it really any different today?
They adore a politician if he gives them everything they want. They despise another because he requires them to work.
“I can’t work”, they say.
They adore the Lord Jesus because he offers them forgiveness for their sins. They despise him when he says, “Become like me”.
Show me what there is to love about humanity.
“In God we trust.” I know what that means. You know what that means. Our minds understand the definition. But our lives will prove something greatly less.
In the history of Man, only Jesus could say it fully; “In God I trust”. Everyone else holds something in reserve to themselves.
It is because of our living definition (the proof of our choices) that we find so much tragedy in this world. Every single place we reserve the right for judgment, wisdom, righteousness, and doings, we add to the chaos of this world. Everyplace we deny him the right to be our God, we frustrate his desire.
You want a New Year’s resolution? Improve your intent to trust God. Strive to let Jesus be your master more and more this year.
It was said that when Jesus knew his time was near he set his face like flint toward Jerusalem. As we employ that same attitude we can refine our definition of trust in the living God.
May God grant us eyes to see and ears to hear that he may have what rightfully belongs to him.
Amen.
We: Live, Die, Face Judgment. Jesus or die twice.
