“As the Lord of Hosts lives, 
before whom I stand…”
(1 Kings‬ ‭18‬:‭15‬ ‭HCSB‬‬)

Yes. I am changed!

“For God made Christ, 
Who never sinned, 
to be the offering for my sin, 
so that I could be made right 
with God through Jesus Christ.”
2 Corinthians‬ ‭5‬:‭21‬ ‭NLT‬

The permanence
of Your shed Blood
to seal this Covenant 
brings a fresh squeeze 
to my calloused heart, 
releasing a stream of tears 
that helps to flush out 
my clogged up ears.

Thank You for being my Savior!

Entirely wild, 
by no means tame,
passionately fierce,
unstoppable, even!
Laying aside Your Own heart’s
welfare and safety!
Where on earth 
would I be now
had You not come
to lay Yourself down 
to claim me?!

“For God was in Christ, 
reconciling the world to Himself,
no longer counting 
people’s sins against them.”
2 Corinthians‬ ‭5‬:‭19‬ NLT‬

“For even when we were dead 
and doomed in our many sins, 
God united us into the very life of Christ 
and saved us by His wonderful grace!”
Ephesians‬ ‭2‬:‭5‬ ‭TPT‬‬

While the world abounds
with drama and quandary,
and even in church,
questionable motives
can cramp a shared space,
conflicts in style divide,
and insecurity postures
and shouts, ‘boundaries!’.
by plugging in 
the revealed set of terms,
those Largesse Qualities
for which every day
You’re becoming 
better known, 
I find rest from 
the conflicts 
I’m too easily
prone to carry.

At the speed of light, doubled,
times the measure of sound
You break through set barriers
to both settle and confound
and form a Holy Perimeter,
adoration and praise.
Worship, as a lifestyle,
chases lesser things away.

“Don’t grieve God. 
Don’t break His heart. 
His Holy Spirit,
moving and breathing in you, 
is the most intimate part of your life, 
making you fit for Himself.
Don’t take such a gift for granted!”
Ephesians‬ ‭4‬:‭30‬ ‭MSG‬‬

Lord Jesus,
I seek a page from Your Notebook.
Help me to not be afraid to embrace
that blessed state of being meek.
It takes courage
to not be so set to self guard
and self protect.
You have promised 
that I am not alone,
that I am entirely covered,
and that YOU
are on The Throne!

“The Angel of the Lord
encamps around those who fear Him,
who revere and worship Him with awe,
and each of them He delivers.”
Psalm 34:7 AMPC

“You stoops down
to listen as I pray,
encircling me,
empowering me,
and showing me
how to escape.”
(Same verse using a
slightly edited TPT version)

Not only that…
but You offer a reward.

“Blessed are the meek, 
for they shall inherit the earth.”
Matthew‬ ‭5‬:‭5‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

In Your eyes meekness
is not seen as deficient.
And it certainly isn’t 
considered a quality
that’s weak!
It requires Presence!
It takes great courage 
to walk as if never been hurt,
to fully trust in Your Plan,
no matter how is sounds,
what it might look like
or feel like,
knowing that each
is held secure,
in the palms of
both Your Hands!

I can see how
humility is key!
Flexibility,
based upon Word,
is highly esteemed!
And thru much prayer
and careful consideration
Perspectives can change,
of that I am the evidence of!
It can happen
to anyone,
at anytime,
anywhere…
In the blink of an eye!
Hallelujah! Amen!

Meek:
Enduring injury with patience
and without offense 

“Make your own attitude 
that of Christ Jesus, 
Who, existing in the form of God, 
did not consider equality with God 
as something to be used for His own advantage.”
Philippians‬ ‭2‬:‭5‬-‭6‬ ‭HCSB‬‬

Instead He emptied Himself
to take on the form of a servant!

“For it is God who is working in you, 
enabling you both to desire 
and to work out His good purpose. 
Do everything without grumbling and arguing, 
so that you may be blameless and pure, 
children of the Most High
who are faultless in a crooked
and perverted generation, 
among whom you shine
like stars in the world.”
Philippians‬ ‭2‬:‭13‬-‭15‬ ‭HCSB‬‬
