Jack's son took the podium and spoke from Paul's letters. Dad's no rock star yet people revel in his presence and are more aware of their frailty. How I see it is the attempt to shape up in his presence brings little to the soul and much to eye of the beholder. Isn't this how we desire for all to see us, without flaws or faults. It brings little peace and holding onto great despair. I want sometimes to loving embrace my fellow man and shout, stop it stop it. You poor prideful thing. Let it go. Let God. Jack's son quoted my own heartfelt sentiments, yet many are afraid to trust the very word of God. Fearful their creator will someway let them stray, let them down, reveal their faults without justice and without it being all for the glory of God. Psalms 94 14,16,21-22 He will not abandon his special possession....Who will protect me from the wicked. They gang up against the righteous...but the Lord is my fortress; My God is is the mighty rock. Psalm 95 Come let us sing to the Lord! Let us shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation.
Man distinctively listens to the god they have created called themselves. We are consumed with self help literature and fixing others from man's perspective, yet is there not a calling of encouraging our hurting Christian sisters and brothers with a biblical life. Is the very word of God an offering or given little effort in the application and refuge in the daily walk with Christ for us to offer. There is a silence with the Creator, a deeper prayer that does not ask for anything except simply refuge. He commands this of us and our heart's remain disobedient. There is much healing and repair of Our Lord to perform for the heart to be crumbled and a new creation to be made that can be focused on the cross.
Is God waiting on us to do his work in their lives? He patiently waits, according to scripture, because of His great love for us. We remain an unfocused world to recap on Paul's letter. We deny the very pains of our heart, family, friends, our town, city, state, nation. We are forcing our focus to be anything in the world of today. We need to ponder the most poignant question as Paul encourages and glorifies the focus ..... Is it focused on the cross?
I am blessed for understanding and receiving God's great peace and the everlasting Mercy of my Heavenly Father for coming to the cross and laying it down.
