Violence surges and man looks to punish
others for his hurt
He wants to pay back for his helplessness
He longs to extend his hatred to extinguish it
but the problem is: violence takes its toll on everyone
and no one feels safe again
There is only one cure for a sick society
Only one answer to the question of peace
Only one solution, but no one is turning to embrace the Truth
No one seeks the True and Lasting Judge
to bring Victory
No one pauses to remember the Ancient of Days
and the victories He has won on man’s behalf
Violence surges toward me and I dare not
step wrongly
The words are creeds written on the souls
of those who refuse the change which the
Lord Jesus Christ offers
Violence is the way of escape
from the prison they have built
from their hatred
and yet, I plead for the innocent
I plead for the Righteous
I plead for myself
Protect us, Lord, I pray from those who
would seek to bring our end
Stop them with Your outstretched Hand
and deliver them
unto Truth to wash them with Your Blood
and cleanse them of their disease
PSALM 66
I stand ready to read and to write all that is necessary for my assignments from God
I labor on many pages at once because you see,
I don’t write from my mind
I only have to stay open and clean before God
for His words to come
I glance at the next book “The Radical Cross”
by A.W. Tozer
as I prepare to present the continuation of
the section for the Bride
and yet, I cannot write, for the Cross,
it does come to me
in such a stark manner
that I am reeling to recover
I remember when I first truly began to follow God that I asked Him to simply
let me know what book would be best to read about the Cross so that I could
attain all the facts, but I now see that the Cross
in book form is informative
only to the degree that we can measure
our progress through death unto
the Resurrection
I thought that surely the Christian life could be mastered through the reading of the Bible and great works of Christian men and women
Now, I know that the Christian life is only mastered by the Master, Himself and the Cross
. . . and, the Cross is brought on through
our daily struggles to still attain life on our own without the Resurrected Lord within us
Do I look forward to reading the book?
With all my heart
However, by the time I get to it, I pray that it
will be simply confirmation to what God has attained through me by putting this young soldier to a solid death
I can ask for nothing more and will surely ask
for nothing less for we are to be brought to death to allow His Resurrection to take hold in such a way that the “old nature” - that rebellious front-runner no longer steals the show and rises to betray
For surely that is where we will be joined as family . . .
God’s Faithful, Loving family
His True Desire
