Beginning

Thank you Lord!! That's my praise.

Jesus is so cool, it's right there in Psalm 110v1:

The LORD says to my Lord: "Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet."

Knowing that Jesus' life is within us, I'm very excited about this verse.
Shame to you enemies of the saint.

My Bible reading today had me begin Matthew once again.
I'm still trying to figure out how Jesus is in the line of Melchizedek (Hebrews 5), when he's not in the geneology list... yet I can see the parallels to a king and priest combo man.

My fave verse of the day though is Matthew 5v6 (the whole of Matt 5 + 6 had me dumbstruck to be honest):

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.

Please Lord I'm hungry, and I'm definately thirsty. Please keep me in your hand.

Amen.

Day half

OK here we go.

It's for you that I pray with hope for a brighter day
And so I say your deliverance is coming! ...
And I can see we've strayed so far
A king born under that morning star
As a crown of thorns was placed to erase each tear that's touched your face
And his palms and sides were pierced with spears He hung in love just to draw you near...

- Mat Kearney

We need sweet deliverance. A peace of mind that what God offers us is amazing freedom.
Please Lord grow us into frontmen, that not only serve when it suits us, but fight the hard battles when they come against us.

Be our refuge and be our King.

Multiply righteousness and let it flow from us delivering the Good News of a God who saves and who loves infinately.

We know Lord that we need moulding. So we're not throwing ourselves away... we already did that in the baptism pool. But we're here to grow, and to learn and to be the best we possibly can for you.

Today is day half, in a year it COULD be 365.5 days but only you know that. Hold us firm, watch over us, and let us trample snakes under our feet knowing that Life is found in the perfect and Holy One.

Amen.
