As the Day Ends “If My people who are called by My name humble themselves, and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” — 2 Chronicles 7:14 As the day draws to a close, there is a quiet invitation from God that is often missed in the noise of our activity.

Getting Away for a Prayer Retreat

I have been looking forward to January 13th.

Tomorrow I am getting away for a long over-due time of prayer and reflection and a bit of planning. The day will be warm. The place I have booked looks inviting and offers lots of locations to walk and pray and I am turning my phone off.

Pray for me.

I need your prayers. Pray that God would refresh my heart, guide my thoughts, and purify my motives.…

Sunday Musings

        Periodically, hearts need to be racked over coals to become malleable and soft again. The metaphor doesn’t work except it does.

All of me

Anytime

Anywhere

Anything

No matter what the cost

I am dead

I am nothing

I have nothing.

No dreams, no passions, no vision, no plans, no career

No aspirations, no agendas, nothing.

I am dead.

  I cannot give vision

I cannot give direction

I cannot love

I cannot serve

I am dead

  I cannot lead

I have nothing to say

I have nothing to teach

I have no words of wisdom

I have no influence

I am dead

  Given over to death

So that Christ may be revealed

Christ alone. His glory; Revealed.

  I cannot be recognized

I cannot be honored

I cannot be given credit

I cannot be known

I am dead.

  I have no honor.

I have no prestige

I have no reputation

I have nothing

I am dead.

  Given over to death

So that Christ may be revealed

Christ alone.  His glory; Revealed.

  I have asked for large things.

Kingdom things.

You have said NO.  

You said you I would do great things, but I was not ready.

You were right.  You still are.

  I have no future.

I have nothing left…of mine.

But You….

  Given over to death

So that Christ may be revealed

Christ alone.  His glory; Revealed.

  All of me

Anytime

Anything

Anywhere

No matter what the cost….

  Cost is irrelevant.

All is stripped away….

I have nothing.

Dead.  Yet I live…

  Alive

Christ revealed through death

Life through death

Life more abundantly…after death

  I have been crucified.

Yet I live.

Not I, but Christ.

I am alive, only in Christ.

Resurrection

  Given over to death

So that Christ may be revealed

Christ alone. His glory; Revealed.

  Crucified with Christ

Buried with Christ

Risen with Christ

Given over to death

So that Christ may be revealed in me

  Scared. Thrilled.  Alive
