| Lord I stand before your presence, with my eyes upon your face in awe and wonder I approach you, marveling at your throne of grace. But my eyes begin to wander past your face and towards your mysteries untold and my heart begins to flutter at the thoughts of what the future might hold Lord, keep me still with my eyes, fixed unwavering on this prize Help me know, you will provide and things are always best when you decide Lord, I'm miserably impatient, I always want to jump the gun help me slow my heart and trust you, help me smile and carry on Give me wisdom on your burden, so that I can see your way help me see the work around me, so I can find your life today. | | |

Now, all I have is now
To be faithful
To be holy
And to shine
Lighting up the darkness
Right now, I really have no choice
But to voice the truth to the nations
A generation looking for God
Chorus
For such a time as this
I was placed upon the earth
To hear the voice of God
And do His will
Whatever it is
For such a time as this
For now and all the days He gives
I am here, I am here
And I am His
For such a time as this
You - Do you ever wonder why
Seems like the grass is always greener
Under everybody else's sky
But right here, right here for this time and place
You can live a mirror of His mercy
A forgiven image of grace
Can't change what's happened till now
But we can change what will be
By living in holiness
That the world will see Jesus
-wayne watson ugh....sometimes i wonder at how i can be so stupid. if I would only claim the victory in Christ and not be so self-centered. why dwell in a place in time I can't be when the Lord has given me now! Given me now to live as Christ where I am now. Oh Lord, purify my heart, draw me near to you, so that I may be able to be a testimony to you to those around me. | | |
| blessed is the man who makes the Lord his trust...-psalm 40:4 i came across this verse and i stopped because the language caught my eye.. we say....we put our trust in the Lord...or we trust the Lord....but can me make the Lord out trust?? hmmm... once again it is evident that we have nothing ....and we have to depend on the Lord for everything. my flesh cannot trust in Him....because i am weary and fearful of what he might want me to do....or where he might want me to go...but when i make him my trust....he no longer is just someone far off ...aho we hope will make things right....but he is our ability....He is our way. He is the means by which we accomplish all. Praise the Lord! | | |
| "Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe as you hold out the word of life—in order that I may boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor for nothing." -Phil 2:14-16 This verse has been on my heart in this last week. And sometimes even in the form of that sunday school song my mom teaches her class. :) A couple weeks ago I asked at bible study waht it means to be blameless. I think God gave me my answer. Stop complaining and arguing, even if it is in my heart, so that I may do the work of God and not labor in vain. I've been learning in these last couple weeks that my eyes are all too often on myself. but when i take them off of me.....there is so much purpose that floods into view and so much work that I feel God wants me to be a part of. So why linger on my own pitiful wants that never satisfy anything, when I can take part in the work of our glorious LORd.....and accomplish His will right along side him. I mean c'mon Jess, wake-up and see what you're missing when you look at yourself. may we shine like the stars and be blameless and pure in this crooked and depraved generation. | | |
| Oh God, your church is so beautiful. and we are one, by your blood.. how precious. I thank you Lord because you have called us Your own, and give us a reason to live each day. Lord, unveil our eyes, that we might see your glory and purpose in our lives. Lord, may your children's desire for you grow infinately, until we have been molded into your image. "Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus:
Who, being in very nature God,
did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,
but made himself nothing,
taking the very nature of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself
and became obedient to death—
even death on a cross!
Therefore God exalted him to the highest place
and gave him the name that is above every name,
that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father."-Phil 2:5-11 | | |
