Apocalypse

Where is the one that can be found?
The one so strong that he can tell
the eternal King what not to do?
His deeds, at once, by force to quell?

That Eye which sees and comprehends,
encompasses all within His sight:
That Word which issues from His mouth,
defines our life and what is right.

The power of God surrounds us all.
When That Gaze considers a man,
the will of their strong limbs fail them,
wrung out like water upon the sand.

The conqueror is brought down to dust:
Now the braggart knows only his fear.
Where before waxed secure in dominion,
Sees only the grave through his tears.

Those who have chosen to trust in You,
will live to see Your justice done:
Will rejoice to see You rule the earth,
the exalted glory of the returned Son.

Profitable Service: A Meditation

We are given a limited sum of years to invest our soul for Your kingdom. Faith makes it a priviledge to serve in the work to which You have called us, working under the authority of Your spirit. The joy comes from the knowledge that even in the midst of the most difficult circumstances, victory has already been realized and affirmed. Our temporary pain only makes our joy in You more profound. To honor You truthfully, even in the midst of that pain, I must glorify and praise You. Only in this am I a profitable servant. It is a task thrilling beyond words. What starts as a self imposed discipline ends up being a realization of profound and absolute truth. I surrender all of my limited life to the cause of Him who is life, who is eternal, for the glory of His name.

The Unseen

You are the love of my life and my soul.
My relationship with You is estatic:
Exhaustingly euphoric.
A wild and thrilling ride
of blessing and discovery.
Your might and wisdom lure me
as a moth to flame
comsuming, purifying flame.
My physical bonds restrict me.
I look around, high and low
but I cannot see You!
My heart pleads for more
My Life and only True Friend.
Love of my life,
Where might I find You?
Show Yourself to me,
as a lover would,
in the private language we share.
Let Your truths come to pass,
as You have shown them to me.
I will rejoice in You forever, because
You have called me by name,
and have not neglected
to share Your heart with me.
