Adoration Of Abba.

Every Morning your the light, you shine when I am awake,  the day full of new things awaits me,  as I am full of heaviness by the pains of yesterday,  you present me with the promises of today. I sat down and sow my tears of sorrow,  burdened with the high expectations life presents me,  you give me the opportunity and joy in knowing you.  Only if I can start with praise,  to slow me down and remind me of your goodness. To prevent me from rushing into conclusion of what life has dealt rather on your great mercies and grace. There, the faith arises from within, to focus on you and to learn your ways, to exercise my faith by trusting you and not my circumstances.   I have now reached intimacy with you for sure, because your presence now calms my fears. By growing and understanding you, I can now say I know you, even from the beginning.
Even though I may know very little yet I know you more to call you "Abba" because you're countenance speaks of a father, a loving father concerned with the affairs of his child. A father drawing me closer to your heart while showering me with love and affection.  In you, Abba, I am fully rejuvenated,  restored and regenerated. You give me power to overcome through the meditation of your word, prayer and praise!  But through praise, I get my immediate daily bread, a loaf that will last me throughout the day! I sing hallelujah to your holy Name! I am greatly humbled in Your presence. Surely I will confess my sins because You are light and dwells not in darkness! As I see your perfection, it illuminates my soul on the beauty of your holiness!  Abba, You are holy, worthy of all my praise!

Anarchy: the way of Balaam


Presumptuously, he defies the law of his ancestors,  he stands against the pillars of unity and like a canker worm he chews up every foundation set for man by his God. Moreover,  he redefine the laws of God and follows only his own precepts.  Thus,  creating a society that forbids and abolishing the ordinances of God.  While fulfilling his own lustful desires, he will make wars with the saints and create majesties to woe the flock.  He is the one set to destruction,  a brute beasts of the field. Certainly, his ways are death and a never ending corruption is his delight.  An  unreasoning animal that eats its young.  Leading the flock to the slaughter house.  But rest assured, he will soon find his place,  he  will soon be uprooted from the remnants to an everlasting fire.

The Ambitious God

A strong desire lives within me, determine as ever, the compassion grows. The formidable way now is to give out my inner passion. Though,  they have seen me provide time and time after, yet they closed their ears on my commandments. However,  my compassion draws me to act out on love. And to satisfy my high aspirations, being purposeful and forgiving, indeed requiring a sacrifice, one that will pay the costs and bear the penalty of sins, I sent my Son. That He will die and save mankind from their sins. Such ambitious task, whereas will bridge the gap between me and man.  I am zealous for man. Nonetheless,  they are moving farther away from me. They have committed themselves to many idols similarly to the days of their forefathers, the generation that I swore will never enter my rest. but yet I will forbear them when they turn to my Son. I will heal them from their sins, I will befriend them and protect them, care for them and will show them my power and might,  my compassion and my salvation when they turn to my Son.

Achievement

Lord , I am broken, pain calls my name, distress is my closest companion, the weight is on me and when I looked around they scoffed at me. The world has beaten me up and furthermore, it drives me further away from you, thus showering me with poisonous gifts from those who have no regard of you. Moreover,  when I look around for help, it seems that you have hidden your face from me.  But as I wait for your promises, I remembered the works of you, how you have raised up man of the old from the ashes heap and placed them before kings. Accordingly, you fulfilled the promises of Joseph, and clothed him in garments of fine linen and set him over all the land of Egypt. You have used a shepherd boy to strike the heart of a nation and made him a king in front of his enemies. Likewise, the kings who fail to acknowledge your name, you have humbled them and cast some away like wild animals.
O Lord,  how great is your works!  Your wisdom transcends far above the galaxies, the wonderful ways you govern,  who can attain it? So I  realized that you are indeed the Potter and I am the clay.  You know my coming and going, my sitting and standing. You have made me the image of you and carved my days on the palm of your hands, you have trained my hands so that I will be adequate, equipped for every good work. Therefore, this I am confident that You who began the good work in me will complete it to the end. The labor of my hands shall I boast not rather to boast,  I will boast in your Name alone and that I know the God of my salvation.
