I desire this to be my heart’s song! 

“In the mouth of fools is a rod of pride,

But the lips of the wise will preserve them.” Proverbs 14:3

Keep pride far away from me I pray. Let it not even pass by my lips and the surfaces of my heart. But may I dwell in a humble heart that can only be found in the midst of YOUR majesty.

“In all labor there is profit,

But idle chatter leads only to poverty.” Proverbs 14:23

Lead me to work out my salvation with fear and trembling knowing that faith without works is dead. May it expand Your kingdom and bring gain to You, my King. Remove empty, idle words from me. Purify my heart and mold into the image of Your Son, that my words might only be those things which are true and seasoned with mercy and grace.

“The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life,

To turn one away from the snares of death.” Proverbs 14:27

Teach me the fear of the LORD that I might have life. I do not want to be a “murky spring and a polluted well” to be a righteous man that does not falter in the presence of the wicked. Be my anchor. My refuge. My Strength. I will not be found wanting.

…that He stirs up people to come and minister to you. I love it when God stirs up people’s heart to pray, encourage, share a WORD for someone. 

Truly, Father, You know my heart of hearts!

Seriously, You are TOO good:D

Woah! Such a good video! Reminds me of not only the Great Commission, but Romans 12:1-2:

Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Happy Tuesday!

I now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up in my flesh what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ, for the sake of His body, which is the church … —Colossians 1:24

We take our own spiritual consecration and try to make it into a call of God, but when we get right with Him He brushes all this aside. Then He gives us a tremendous, riveting pain to fasten our attention on something that we never even dreamed could be His call for us. And for one radiant, flashing moment we see His purpose, and we say, “Here am I! Send me” (Isaiah 6:8).

This call has nothing to do with personal sanctification, but with being made broken bread and poured-out wine. Yet God can never make us into wine if we object to the fingers He chooses to use to crush us. We say, “If God would only use His own fingers, and make me broken bread and poured-out wine in a special way, then I wouldn’t object!” But when He uses someone we dislike, or some set of circumstances to which we said we would never submit, to crush us, then we object. Yet we must never try to choose the place of our own martyrdom. If we are ever going to be made into wine, we will have to be crushed—you cannot drink grapes. Grapes become wine only when they have been squeezed.

I wonder what finger and thumb God has been using to squeeze you? Have you been as hard as a marble and escaped? If you are not ripe yet, and if God had squeezed you anyway, the wine produced would have been remarkably bitter. To be a holy person means that the elements of our natural life experience the very presence of God as they are providentially broken in His service. We have to be placed into God and brought into agreement with Him before we can be broken bread in His hands. Stay right with God and let Him do as He likes, and you will find that He is producing the kind of bread and wine that will benefit His other children.

“If we are to be dead and hidden in Christ. Is anyone drawn to your tombstone? Would anyone want to visit it?”

PRAISE HIM!

…are awesome!

…in the Scriptures your likeness can also be found - a picture of what the Father means you to be. Seek to have a deep and clear impression of what the Father says in His Word that you should be. One this is fully understood, it is inconceivable what courage it will give you to conquer every difficulty.”
