worthy of all our worship and praise

No matter what kind of week you've had, busy, stressful, peaceful or other, our god is still in control and worthy of all our praise.  I am a debtor to all he has done for me!

who you are - kristian stanfill

Your glory speaks in every language
Across the sky to every nation
You are beauty
Unimagined
This is who you are
You are the Lord of my salvation
You are the one who lights my way
Through the dark night
You will lead me 
This is who you are 
This is who you are
Lift it up
Lift it up
Endless praises to our God
Full of grace 
Full of love 
And He’s reigning over us
You are faithful
You are worthy, God 
This is who you are
Day and night
The angels singing
Holy, Holy
Is the Lord
There’s none more worthy
To receive it 
This is who you are 
You hear the cry of every broken heart
You give the hopeless soul a brand new start
You lead the captive in Your freedom song 
This is who you are
And in the night when all our hope is lost
You are the one who won’t give up on us
You hold the orphan in your loving arms 
This is who you are

how late is too late

It is true that our time here in this world is limited.  We each have a finite amount of time to ride around the sun.  We aren't aware of the amount of trips in any way.  what would happen if we knew.   what would we do different if we knew when the father was going to call us home?  would we live differently, would we lower our veil and shine the light of jesus, or would we continue to hide behind our veil? 

we all pass people each day, buying groceries, putting fuel in our vehicles, at work, getting lunch that need some light.  I would dare say most of us pass them without a second glance.  how would our time of this earth be different if we showed the compassion jesus showed us by giving his all on a roman cross.

Lord, help us to always be mindful of not only the compassion and mercy you showed us, but that we cant hide that love behind a veil.  Help me to shine that love and mercy everywhere i go and to all i meet!

Blinders

While sitting on i66 this morning in traffic it occurred to me that everyone was intently focused straight ahead, not much concerned with what was to their left or right, but intently focused forward.  It was almost as if they had blinders on.  It also occurred to me that we can get so focused on what is in our path, we fail to see the beauty of what god has given us.  We are so intent on focusing all our energy on what we see that we neglect to see the plan god has for each one of us.  I pray that I am always mindful and aware of his will and his plan.  Not to focus on what is in front of me, but to seek his will in all I say and do.

What actually took place is this: I tried keeping rules and working my head off to please God, and it didn’t work. So I quit being a “law man” so that I could be God’s man. Christ’s life showed me how, and enabled me to do it. I identified myself completely with him. Indeed, I have been crucified with Christ. My ego is no longer central. It is no longer important that I appear righteous before you or have your good opinion, and I am no longer driven to impress God. Christ lives in me. The life you see me living is not “mine,” but it is lived by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I am not going to go back on that. Is it not clear to you that to go back to that old rule-keeping, peer-pleasing religion would be an abandonment of everything personal and free in my relationship with God? I refuse to do that, to repudiate God’s grace. If a living relationship with God could come by rule-keeping, then Christ died unnecessarily. (Galatians 2:19-21 MSG)
