I'm An Overcomer Only Because of You

-

 i trust You.  i know You'll give just as You gave Your Son to heal my scars and to remove my thorns. 


Keep me out of the crab-buckets.  There are many to fall into or stumble into.  Thank You for the resources that guide me to the Word.  Never let me tire of delving into the Word.  The messengers You've sent along my path are a joy to fall and stumble into.  i know You won't let one of them lead me astray.  Please give me a level of understanding that surpasses my years.  There are overwhelming circumstances which threaten to take me under.  i'm an overcomer only because of You.

The Lord sat enthroned at the Flood And the Lord sits as King forever.  The Lord will give strength to His people; The Lord will bless His people with peace. ---[Psalm 29: 10-11]

i sit and wonder what those who purport to be true-blue Christians us against Him.  i trust Him to write the rest of my story.  i trust Him because Heaven rules!  "you got to tell me my dream and what it means, because i can't remember my dreams.  Who can?  So tell me what i dream as though you could read my mind and tell me what it means or die!" -- King Nebuchadnezzar.  Anything that makes me really need God could only be a blessing.  He's good even when i don't feel that He's good.  "i don't need to give an anwer to your questions.  The God i serve exists and is here right now.  His hand is on my shoulder.  His other hand on the small of my back pushing me onward...forward...He is rescuing me from crab-bucket queens and from the Belshazzars and Jezebels.

Should my life be in the balance, so be it!  i know there's a better place than here to be!  Belshazzar!  He's going to doe tonight!  Yet i have the gifts of Your comfort and Your courage!  Amen

 As He taught them a shadow of the cross fell across the old testament and their "eyes were opened."  He was that ram at Abraham's alter.  He was that spotless Passover Lamb whose blood was shed to bring freedom from slavery and deliverance from death.  He was that scarlet thread that hung out Rahab's window.  The Shepherd King:  David spoke so much about Him in the Psalter.  He was Isaiah's suffering servant, the fourth man in the furnace with Shadrach, Meshash, and Abed-Nego.  And yet He will never vanish from my sight unless i allow it.  Jesus' purpose isn't to push Himself onto anyone.  As humans, as mortals, He wants us to come to Him.  That's probably the only Hunger He ever has!  Is for us to come to Him.  i was the other disciple walking along the road to Emmaus.  i've gone from the road to Damascus to the road to Emmaus.  i've been writing about what Christ has done for me. Praise goes to the Lord! ...

Having Seen the Lord on the Road

 1 Timothy:  Make sure no other doctrine is taught, no fables which cause dispute, where there is no godly edification. Timothy, prevent the spread of false teaching. Legalists cannot mix law and grace.  They engage in idle talk, having strayed with their meaningless babble.  The law is not made for the righteous person, but for the lawless, ungodly, unholy, and profane, something of which i was guilty for so long and even have the temptation to fall back into the pit from time to time.  i obtained God's mercy because i committed those wrongs in unbelief, or as a back-slider and as someone prone to worldly and fleshly desire and lust. Now i believe in Jesus Christ and only by His grace will i obtain everlasting life.  Grace by faith and trust in Him.  In Him alone.  If i were to be a young man's mentor, i would want to be a quiet encourager, a serene influence, i would want to interest him by saying as little meaningless babble as possible and lea...

When I Haven't Removed the Plank From My Own Eye

Heavenly Father, help me align myself to Your will.  Shall i take advantage of the free time and begin at the seminary?  Could i use this motel room as a sanctuary despite the distractions?  Please help me before idolatry decays my soul any further.  Don't let this defeating habit in my life rob me of my confidence in Your power to give me victory over sin making me hesitant to offer Christ as the answer to others controlled by sin.  Don't let this habit destroy my incentive to share my faith because of feeling like a hypocrite.  How could i witness to others when i haven't removed the plank from my own eye? --[Matthew 7: 1-5] Sin always results in death of some kind. It is worth the continual struggle to combat temptation.  The awful, never-ending process of combating temptation is God's means of maturing me and confirming me to the image of Christ.  To throw my hands up in defeat is to abandon the process and to miss out on life's most important...
