"I'll Wait. I'll Get There Eventually."

-

 i get annoyed with life's inconveniences.  i don't listen to what people say anymore; i listen to what they don't say.

Your tongue devises destruction like a sharp razor working deceitfully.  You love evil more than good, lying rather than speaking righteousness. - [Psalm 52: 2-3]

Your calming presence is always available.  Above and beyond what i can see and hear, i believe Your Word.  Grace through faith is the greatest gift You have given me.  The ones who are turning away from You are the ones causing life's inconveniences, and i turn them over to You, and i'm not taking them back.

It seemed a most unlikely angel came my way yesterday while getting on an elevator at the library  i knew he was going down and i was going up so i told him i was going up.  He didn't say anything but when i pressed floor #3 he said, "I'll wait, I'll get there eventually."  Was that the perfect cue to witness to him and i missed it?  i mean, what he said was a perfect set up.  "I'll Wait.  I'll Get There Eventually."  

Lord, give me wisdom to be quicker on the uptake.  Your goodness endures continually, even if witnessing to someone could get me permanently banned from the library.  You are the only One who is worthy and deserves glory, honor, and power.  Protect me at all times against demonic infiltrators who put on the Christian act to lower my defenses.  Keep my mind stayed on You.  Keep all my focus and trust in You, not only in the light of day but in the darkness of night during Your night watches.  As Peter said, may grace and peace be multiplied to me knowing You and Your Son, Jesus, my Savior is my Lord. -[2 Peter 1:2]

 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...
