A SINGLE VOICE

I was very surprised on my first trip to the Colorado Front Range many years ago to experience such powerful windstorms. A tempest was howling past my hotel window reminding me that something as inert as air becomes extremely powerful in certain conditions. In the same way, one-single voice can be as mighty as a hurricane in the right conditions. My voice is merely one tool among many that I used to express myself. Until that is, one of those moments when it carries a direct message from Almighty God. Job 37:5 (NKJV) proclaims: “God thunders marvelously with His voice;He does great things which we cannot comprehend.When my voice is empowered by His Voice it changes everything. Speaking His Word can transform hearts, move mountains, calm storms, turn darkness into light or send the minions of darkness scampering away! Father You gave me the gift of voice. Put Your coal of fire to my lips and fill my heart and mouth with what matters.

INSIDE OUT

A serious pursuit of godliness requires an equally serious renunciation of worldliness. Too often, we measure spirituality with false scales. While being wisely selective with our public vices we are less so with our private attitudes and perspectives. In reality, it is the thoughts and intents of the heart where the greatest battles must be waged; our actions will ultimately align with the condition of our hearts. Lord God, You know me inside out, You are not fooled by human facades. Plow my heart with Your Word and Spirit and leave nothing unturned. Refresh my inward man that I may outwardly glorify You in all places at all times.

THE LORD IS ONE

Usage of the phrases “My God” and “Our God” in songs and conversations among believers has gone far afield from the Biblical context in which they were used. These seemingly innocent attempts to describe our relationship with Elohim must only be spoken with keen Scriptural understanding: “I am the Lord, there is no other, apart from me there is no God.” Plain and simple, to even imply that He is but one choice among many is fundamentally false. In a world of increasing polytheism we must be clear, the LORD is One, He stands alone as King of the Universe, Creator of All Things. Holy LORD, let my life declare boldly, You Alone are Almighty God. 

HEARTBREAKS

Every soul experiences heartbreaks. Heartaches accumulate and develop tentacles that reach deep into our whole being. Particularly painful is the regret associated with perceived failures. Heartbreaks, failures and the remorse they foster do us no good unless they become motivation for learning, change and growth. People often let heartbreaks simmer too long which leads to hardening of the heart, but heartaches placed into the Master’s hands become pathways for spiritual progress. Lord, You make all things new. I’m joyfully growing, one heartache at a time. Use me as healing balm to others whose hearts are broken.
