The One I Feed Will Dominate

-

 Two natures beat within my breast

the one is foul

the one is blessed


the one i love

the one i hate

the one i feed will dominate!

Some golden carved idol could never save me out of my troubles.  Remember the former things of old, For I am God and there is no other. I am God and there is none like Me. Declaring the end from the beginning, And from ancient times things that are not yet done Saying my counsel shall stand And I will do all My pleasure. -[Isaiah 46: 9-10] YAH, stir up my pure mind, by way of reminder. My labor is to rest.  When i stand still i see the glory of the Lord.  Grace flows in the worry-free areas of my life.

i go into the realm of peace and stay well.  When i let go, God will take hold.  i have no further need to be hurried or worried.  i will never remove purpose for that will lead to destruction.  God's path is not a straight highway, it is a wilderness path.  If i'm not humble, then i will fall.  He will see of it as He should.  i cannot stand for God and God won't stand for me.  There's no sin greater than the grace of God.  YAH, say things to me privately when nobody else is around.  i trust in Jesus to show me what exactly my mission is today.  i know You're watching over me so that no man can possibly deceive me.  Help me to be sure that it's not my foolish pride that is rejecting another, but that it is You putting Your mighty hand in the small of my back...pushing me forward or pulling me back.  In Jesus' name.  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...
