Isaiah 55 - A Promise for My Family

Come -

Out of your barrenness and into full life.
Out of your poverty and into supply.

For the thirsty there is water that never will run dry.
For the poor there is a treasure room without a lock or price.

All your fruitless searches and all your efforts failed
will find full satisfaction when you rest behind the Veil.

Why do you run and fritter on what cannot satisfy?
Listen now and eat what's good - My words will feed your life.

Yes, listen and believe Me. Oh, hear My words and live!
Feast on every promise for abundance they will give!

A season is now coming-a grace upon your ear.
An inclining to My Spirit, a grace for you to hear.

Grace for you to hear Me. Inclining now begins.
My Spirit is now calling and you shall hear, My friend.

A new day is now dawning; there's a'blowing in the wind.
My Spirit breeze will move you to where you've never been.

My promise is unfolding, though now hidden from your eyes.
Trust me and believe that I will make your cause arise.

Every thought I have about you is countless and is sweet.
It is higher than your vision now, but I will make both soon to meet.

I will bring you up to see My view. I will show you what I've planned.
From the moment you were born, My child, your life was in My hands.

As rain comes down from heaven and waters every seed,
so shall My Spirit cause My word inside you to succeed.

My promise is eternal. It will not fade away.
You'll be led in peace and My joy will be your strength from day to day.

Yes, my promise it will prosper in the rich soil of your heart.
It will not fail but will raise you up with a wealthy, sure, fresh start.

So lean in a little closer. I am speaking in the wind,
"Grace, Grace to hear me! The promise now begins!"

Christmas Keys

My hands delicately touched the ivory keys. In reverent solace, I took a deep breath as I sat in the darkness of this unfamiliar house. Slowly, I began to let my fingers flow with the emotions I was feeling. It had been months since I had sat at a piano. But this piano was nothing like the one I had known before: this piano was a perfectly tuned Baby Grand, worth thousands of dollars. The piano I had know - my piano - was an old out of tune spinet that I had purchased at a yard sale for $50. And in that moment, as my fingers danced across the meticulously cared for ivory, I realized how deeply I missed my old out-of-tune friend. It was a feeling that came unexpectedly, this grief. It startled me. So, I quickly stuffed it down inside of myself and shook it off as nonsensical. But as warm tears began streaming down my cheeks while I played this Grand, I soon realized that this was an emotion I could no longer deny: I was grieving the loss of my piano. The loss of my piano had come a...

A Passage of Scripture I'm Not Fond Of

So, today I was reading Joshua 7. It's the one that talks about Achan and how he was killed for lying, stealing, etc. etc. His sin cost him his life and cost Israel a victory in battle. Yeah...it's not one of my favorite passages of scripture! It's one that makes me cringe when I read it. No warm fuzzies. Ready for MORE honesty?! I have reason not to like this passage. I've seen it used within the church as proof to judge and punish someone who has sinned. In fact, I've personally been on the 'receiving' end of that position. It's no fun. Yep. Not one of my favorite passages of scripture. ALL the more reason for me to read it and to ask God his opinion on the passage. It can be really easy to skip over difficult passages of scripture. It can be easy to just skim them and not ponder them at all. But it is still God's word. I want to know why he said what he said. Soooo, I took it to the Lord in all my glorious honesty this morning. I walked rig...

True Worship

I love to watch Worshipers worship. I like to gaze on the Gazers: those who are lost in His presence. I know it may sound strange to some (maybe even a little creepy), but I'm not staring for the sake of being awkward. I simply know that people who gaze on the Beauty of the Holy One have a story to tell. They may see something in Him that I have yet to see. They may know elements of His nature, His holiness, His goodness that I have yet to know. And as I look upon them encountering His Love, I know that they have a redemptive story to tell. All of this, in turn, makes me further see the goodness of God and, in short, it makes me want to be a better worshiper. Recently, I was pondering what it would have been like to watch Jesus worship while He was on earth. Of course, my first imagination of this was seeing him with hands raised singing a love song to God. I mean, can you imagine hearing the Lamb's song rising to Adonai; to hear the Son glorifying the Father? It excites my h...
