The Lord's Prayer…With Mine

Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name.  --Father may you be exalted this day.  You are the creator of heaven and earth.  You are the beginning and end.

Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.  --Lord may Your will be mine that I might be all that you created me to be.  Give me eyes to see others as you see them and give me a heart to show love to all as you do.

Give us this day our daily bread. --Your providence is perfect.  Father you know my need.  Continue to give me peace as I await your perfect will.  Thank you for the way you provide.

And forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors.  --Father, I have not been perfect and I can feel your Spirit working in me.  Lord continue to grow me and transform my heart.  Help me to surrender that which I continue to take over.  May your forgiveness reign in me and through me.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.  --Lord, protect us in our day.  Bind the evil one that we may continue to live out your will.  Send your angels to attend us and gird our spirits with your armor.

For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever.  --Father may all honor, praise, and glory be given to you for all you do and for who you are.  You are the God of all and the Savior of the world.  You are the reason I live life to the full.

Amen. --Amen!

Signs of His Work

Joshua 4:6 to serve as a sign among you.  In the future, when your children ask you, 'What do these stones mean?' I realize this is a very fragmented verse, but go with it.  This got me to thinking.  What are the stones in my life that serve as signs of God's work in my life?  I am not a big fan of material items because I don't really care about stuff.  It's just that, stuff.  So, I've had to think a little harder about this.  The obvious sign of God's current work is the tennis bracelet I wear in memory of Mom.  Other obvious signs that might include my Bible, Dalton's grandmother's wedding ring, and my wedding ring.  However, if I think of the things in my life that are the most evident of God's work, it would be the stories of the different journeys God and I have been on together.  The story of how I got my current job and the multitude of "God things" that surrounded that moment.  The story of a college friend telling me, "...

Channels Only

2 Corinthians 4:7 But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. Our treasure is the Spirit of God and the jar of clay is our earthly body.  In this section of scripture Paul is explaining to the people of Corinth that they are a channel for God to shine through and that through Jesus we will never be separated from God again.  At the hospice house, Liz, my sister, sat down and played Channels Only on the piano.  This is a song that has deep and lasting meaning for my family, but today I instantly thought of my mother lying in the bed in the next room and felt the truth in the words of that song.  Tears began to stream as I recognized to the fullest extent what it means to be a channel for God.  It is my prayer. Channels Only by Mary E. Maxwell How I praise Thee, precious Savior, That Thy love laid hold of me; Thou hast saved and cleansed and filled me  That I might Thy channel be. ...

Blessed Assurance

Romans 8:38-39 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth , nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. This verse just makes me want to shout, "AMEN!"  But isn't it frustrating how Satan knows exactly where to hit us to make us doubt?  And then he is so good at kicking us while we are down.  I, unfortunately, had this experience very recently.  I was feeling a little worried about a particular situation and then Satan pounced and made me feel like an enormous loser.  He was feeding me lies that he knew I would believe, because they are the same lies I always fall for.  Thankfully, I was able to spend some time with God in quiet solitude.  I was reminded that no matter what Satan throws at me, I will never be separated from the love of God because I have Christ Jesus...
