King of Kings and Lord of Lords

Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path (Psalm 119 v. 105).  Christ the true light that lighteth the heart of everyone:  The Lord is merciful and gracious, long suffering and abounding in goodness.  God is love, patient and kind.  He is righteous in judgment.  Grace and truth came from the Lord Jesus Christ whose glory fills the sky.  Christ came to earth to save us not only from our past sin, but also from the sins that we commit daily.

He wants His children to be conformed to his goodness and to have a Christ-like attitude.  By the power of Christ were the foundations of the Earth laid.  When He formed the world, He had us in mind.  God's Word should linger like a fragrance in our hearts, so much so that we enjoy every moment of the time that we spend studying His word.  God is honored when we make spending time with Him a priority and our chief delight.

So as we run the race that is set before us, let us look unto Jesus our King of Kings, our Lord of Lords and our Chief Shepherd.

Be Ye Holy For I Am Holy

"Be ye holy for I am holy," says the Lord.  It's a joy and a delight to serve God, not a duty.  To love God is to honor Him and beholding Him in His splendor of Holiness lets us want to be more like His son the Lord Jesus Christ.  We want to worship and adore Him for who He is, the Holy One in whom we delight and through whom we are filled daily with the Holy Spirit as we serve with joy our Lord and Savior.

Things may be difficult at times, but our aim will be to reach higher ground, and we will succeed.  Lord help us to live for you alone and our prayer will be search me O God and know my heart...see if there is any wicked ways in me, and lead me in life everlasting.  Then, and only then, can we reflect the life of Christ and be filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Christ Jesus our Lord.  As we exercise kindness through Christ who governs our lives, may others see His light in our lives and come to know our Savior.
