Surely The Darkness Shall Fall On Me

-


 i can only be sanctified with You, Lord.  Whatever You created me to be and do, i am willing and able to stand up and be sanctified in the name of Jesus. YAH, You understand my coming and my going.  My standing up and lying down.  You even know every word that's on my tongue before i even speak it.  You are here standing beside me right now, it is a comfort thing.  A warm tingly feeling on my shoulders.  i know i've felt that before, so it must have been You all along, even if i wasn't aware of Your presence, it had to be You, YAH.

Where can I go from Your Spirit?  Or where can I flee from Your Presence?  If I ascend in heaven, You are there; If I make y bed in hell, behold, You are there. -[Psalm 139:7-8] So many times i've had my head in hell and yet You understand me--without judgment and with unconditional agape. Even the night shall be light about me.  i love that You care enough to know the count of every hair on my head and because of the comfort and joy.  i , too, would go before my shearer as a sheep that is silent and i would open not my mouth.

If I say, "Surely the darkness shall fall on me," Even the night shall be light about me; Indeed, the darkness shall not hide from You. But the night shines as the day; The darkness and the light are both alike to You. - [Psalm 139: 11-12] And, yea, there are many times when i am in "darkness" but now that i know You're there with me, i bring tidings of comfort and joy because You bring them to me.  There are those who drone and moan on and on about the dark cloud hovering over us.  i pray for them, YAH, knowing You are with them and hoping You will make them aware of Your omnipresence.

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...
