You, Abba Father, Have Plans For Me

 Jack Hibbs praying before Congress is the highlight of the new year so far.  That'll bring out the ungodly from both sides of the aisle.  Already there is the flak that can only be expected from what's becoming a very ungodly society and country.  Hopefully this country of ours will not lose the blessings of You, Abba Father.  i see how this war in Israel is giving the ungodly the chance to repent.  The Book of Esther seems to be so relevant these days.   Help me set a proper example and bless all of us who want to be proper examples of what it means to repent and to turn our lives over to You.  


i always saw me as being revolutionary and there has never been such a time as this for being just that. i may not feel, at times, that i have any goals or purpose for my life but i know You, Abba Father, have plans for me.  i never knew exactly what state i would end up living in but now it appears i'm to live in a state of revolution.  Hopefully others will start revolving so that You, Lord, won't turn Your backs on them.

Now before him there was no king like him who turned to the Lord with all his heart, with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the Law of Moses, nor after him did any arise like him. -[2 Kings 23: 25] Help me, Lord, to be patient with the constant sounds of counterfeit Christianity.  i know Jesus warned His disciples about that.  i get angry.  i get snobbish.  Be patient with me, Lord.  Just keep me on the right path as i know and understand that You are in control.  You are on the throne.

 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...
