As My Father Watches

-

 To the enemy:  Not even the likes of you will ruin it for me!  Christ is risen!  Lord, You have given me Your Word!  You don't stand afar in times of trouble.  i know You will watch out for me against my adversaries and will let them be caught in the plots which they have devised.  - [Psalm 10: 2] The wicked bless the wicked and the greedy.  And they ignore the needy!  This is the time when the ungodly sneer at their very own Savior and bless all the other ungodly.  Lord, may they be woke and come to You.  

The helpless home in on the helpless, the homeless steal from the homeless.  Seeking to make the invulnerable vulnerable.  You were with me Lord when i was there.  In the shelter the king and queen crabs claw the other crabs down to the bottom of the crab bucket.  He lies in wait secretly as a lion in his den; he lies in wait to catch the poor. - [Psalm 10:9]

Like snakes in the grass, like wolves in their dens they lie and wait...lie and wait.  They exert a strength that they believe they have as my Father watches.  

He has said in his heart, "God has forgotten; He hides His face; He will never see." - [Psalm 10:11]

Think Again!


Break the arm of the wicked and the evil man; Seek out his wickedness until You find none. - [v. 15] 

Lord, may You always remind me to be humble.  And with the help of Your Holy Spirit.  In Jesus's name i pray.  Amen

Broiled Fish and Some Honeycomb

 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...
