what of this is by our choices

is everything random,
or is everything scripted,
if You are all-knowing,
is it all predestination…
 
how much of what we do,
of what we see in this life,
is our free choices,
our free will, chaos…
 
what of this is by our choices,
in our lives, in nature,
how much the Butterfly Effect,
ripples in Creation…
 
how is Your plan revealed,
in the world, in history,
what is pre-planned,
what should we believe…

How did You make You

Infinite, Eternal,
without beginning or end
God, the Creator of Everything,
before everything was, I Am…
 
The One eternal mystery,
The true nature of God,
Before creation, before time,
Before everything, I Am…
 
Wanting to know,
but forced to walk in faith,
to believe this without seeing,
before Anything was, I Am…

Focus on what is good – v2

Focus on what is good
in your thoughts, in your actions,
focus on what is admirable, worthy,
that which is merciful, just…
 
Be at peace in each moment,
in whatever your circumstance,
live into your calling, your purpose,
while you walk this earth…
 
Focus on what is good,
that which is righteous, noble,
aspire to live a life, repentant,
knowing the cost of God’s grace…

Oh Lord, I come before You,
oh God, oh my Father,
You are the Potter,

reach for me with Your hands,
teach me, mold me, heal me,
help me walk in Your ways…
 
Breathe Wisdom on my clay
give new life to me, each day,
let Your Truth bleed within me,
may Your Word be a light to my path,
help me to walk closer to You,
touch me, mold me, heal me,
oh God, my Lord, today …

The Nature of His Sin – v4

In the moment when Job forgot

the fear, the reverence of God

the awe we should know

the fear of the Lord

our place, His place

when he challenged

when he demanded

his sin became clear

not merely questioning why

demanding an answer

an audience with God -

Arrogance, unthinking;

Oh what had he said,

what had he done…?

humility and servanthood – v2

not asking us for more

than He would do;

leading by His example

here is the world

humility and servanthood

the way of God, of Christ;

not a king but a servant

releasing our bonds

redeemed to life – v2

Saved from damnation

raised to the heavens;

Lifted with Christ

from the grave

Claimed from desolation

the unworthy masses;

Christ paid the price.

We are redeemed to life.

longing to serve – v2

Longing to serve

not to be exalted;

Cleaving to the cross

to the way of Christ Jesus

Longing to serve

trusting in God;

God will provide

all that we need

Eternity intersects time – v3

Eternity intersects time

in the person of Jesus

the Christ alive

walking here with us;

That part of the Divine,

God here with us,

facing the same temptations

walking the same path;

The Word alive

the promised Messiah, our Savior,

living a life righteous

to become our sacrifice

Where were you – v2

Where were you at creation

did you part the waters

did you call the light;

Did your Word echo

in the darkest night?

Where were you, human,

at the beginning of time

when there was light;

Did you speak creation

did you hold the plumb line?
