I updated "my playlist" today
I'd love to put all my newly downloaded songs on here....but I'm sure there's some sort of copyrights laws about that...
Here is an oldie but a goodie:
BE NEAR
You are all
Big and small
Beautiful
And wonderful
To trust in grace through faith But I'm asking to taste
For dark is light to You
Depths are height to You
Far is near
But Lord I need to hear from You
Be near O God
Be near O God of us
Your nearness
Is to us our good
Your fullness is mine
Revelation divine
But O to taste
To know much more than a page
To feel Your embrace
For dark is light to You
Depths are height to You
Far is near
But Lord I need to hear from You
Be near O God
Be near O God of us
Your nearness
Is to us our good

Stagnant Waters
Not much has changed from my last post....I still feel stagnant. Surrounded by mosquito infested water. I guess there's not much comparision between a mosquito and a lion but what came to mind immediately was:
The advesary is like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. (I peter 5:8)
Thats kinda like a game of Mother may I, right? The advesary has to have your permission to devour. Seems like these days I've given out alot of permission. **SIGH**
How does one get that back?
Back to I Peter....
6 Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time,
7 casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.
8 Be sober, be vigilant; your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
9 Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world.
10 But the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, will perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.
Looks like a path one can follow....
Humble Yourself.
Cast Your Care.
Be Sober Greek Word: Nepho
to be sober, to be calm and collected in spirit
to be temperate, dispassionate, circumspect
Be Vigilant. Dictionary: keenly watchful
Resist.
Be Steadfast. Dictionary: strong, firm, immovable, solid, hard, rigid
I like what the greek has to say about this word being used in a bad sense:
"cruel, stiff, stubborn, hard" thats descriptive of steadfast in a bad way.
And then the best two words (in this case three) in the bible.
But God.
Thank God for the "but Gods" in the bible, in my life....otherwise I'd be pretty hopeless.
