Glorious Father of Life.  It is Your way which is Right.  No man can know Your Way on his own.  And obedience, pure obedience, to You cannot be contrived.  You have set the boundaries of understanding for man.  And You said, “This far you shall come and no more”.   In Your eternal wisdom You have caused a place where man must seek Your Holy Face if he is to do the will of God.  And You did this to reduce the pride of man to nothing.  It is Your hand which redeems.  And no man can manufacture Your salvation on his own.

You will be Glorified forever by Your Great Name and hand.  Your people will praise Your wisdom in salvation forever.  May You receive the fruit of Your hand.  May Your people provide bountiful fruit.  You have raised up a people for Yourself.  And no man was consulted regarding what is Pure.

Pop a Pimple.

Pondering the possibilities for me, regarding the will of God for the remainder of my life, I fell upon something beautiful:

I spoke with a man who decidedly hates the word of God.  He suggested that it’s only fair that I entertain the writings of those who would tear at the Faith of God in Christ Jesus.  Without reservation, my response was that I am not interested in “fair” when it comes to dedication to my Lord.  I am singularly interested in His truth.  I have no need for the trash of man.  Such garbage is not for the godly to consume.  And such writings are mere speculation driven by a hatred for God and His people.

The beauty is that God has caused me to desire Him!  Every day, every moment, my sin is before me.  And every day, every moment, the Holiness of the Lord Jesus surrounds me.  What a beautiful pain to endure.  And so it is with all His people.  May it never cease in this place of testing.  May it grow to an uncomfortable level, forcing me to move from sin and into holiness!  And may the Lord of Life find pleasure in His creation.  May He provoke His people from glory to glory, that His Word will find fulfilment as the Transformer of death to Life.

As we might pop a pimple by the use of force from two fingers, may God force sin from our lives.

Listen With Ears Everywhere.

I, ElC, chipfolding the ears of a small, somehow!

Image via Wikipedia

A man who desires to hear the good of God through Christ will listen with all his ears.  Though the body of man is adapted with only two ears, the Lord’s wisdom requires far more.  Much like the creatures of Revelation chapter 4: “8And the four living creatures, each one of them
having six wings, are full of eyes around and within; and day and night they do not cease to say,

“HOLY, HOLY, HOLY is THE LORD
GOD, THE ALMIGHTY,
WHO WAS AND WHO IS AND WHO IS TO COME.”

We listen to the activity of ourselves and others.  We listen to the lives of animals.  We listen to our dreams, in which we search for truthful meaning.  We listen to the works of man such as he has applied his hand to build.  We listen to time, past, present and promise.  And we listen to who we find ourselves to be.

1. What are we doing?

2. Are the animals at rest while they do the day’s work?

3. Is there any importance, at all, to the dream I had last night?

4. What wonderful truth can we hear from a building, road, airplane, fence, and other such things?

5. Is the noise which can be heard by history, now, and yet speaking a truth for the current moment?

6. What noises do I hear from the man I’ve come to be?

The Word of God found in the Bible is valuable beyond our understanding.  But we are also given senses which enable our “listening”.   “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.” (Luke 10:27)

We reject the simplistic view that God can be found in nature alone.  For He has given us a Holy word for guidance.  We are able to read.  And if we’re not able to read, we know someone who can.  But the combination of all creation and the Holy Word of God can enable us to listen with all our being.

Can a Stick be Guilty of a Beating?

I often (understatement) point to the faults of men.  But I will allow for a few things:

Even a violent man can live at peace with a few things.  He usually doesn’t abuse his drink.  He’ll coddle a glass till it’s gone.  But he might just as likely throw the glass against the floor when the drink is gone.  A corrupt politician will take care of his money.  He will take care of it like a sow bear guarding it’s cubs.  A mother might take good care of her children.  But without the rule of God in her life, she will allow her children to watch television all day long (except when the gossip programs come on).  A husband might well take care of his wife, which was his pledge at their wedding.  But without the rule of God in his life, he’s just as likely to gawk at other women as they pass by.

With the rule of God in our lives, we learn (emphasis on “learn”) to continue our obedience out into the remotest reaches of our life.  We listen to what the Lord says and strive to apply it to everything we are.  There is a significant difference between socially acceptable behavior and Godly behavior.  And this is what you will find posted in my writings.

Yes, I am learning to hate the “ways of the world”.  And I ask for forgiveness when I slip into considering the individual rather than the sin.  It is sometimes extremely hard to tell where one starts and the other leaves off.  And if a man is beating me with a stick, I’m not likely to blame the stick.

Look at the Glory of God revealed in the world.  Consider that no man has ever built a walnut tree.  This is the work of God given to man that man might consider the Glory of He who cannot lie.  He provides for man.  Man does not provide for himself.  Consider the animals He has given us for food.  Consider the plants He provided for our health and strength.  Consider the air He has provided for the lungs He created.  Look at how continually God provides regardless the sins of man committed in His Holy Sight.  Look at how He has caused the ocean to obey His limits.  Consider how He has commanded that man should perceive His Glory in the works of God’s hand.  The miracles of God’s Glory surround us.  And only the disobedient will consider the works of their hands as more important than worship of God.  He has made the way clear to man.  Worship the Lord God Almighty only.  And turn away from all boasting and sin before His Holy Throne.  How can we worship in truth if we remain outside His Glorious provision of Jesus as our sacrifice for our sins?  Will you refuse Him who calls from Heaven?   And do not mistake the “calling” of God toward holiness.  We are created to worship the Lord of Life.   We are not created to seek the works of our own hands.
