All in All

“O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!”    Psalm 8:9

There is a name above all names, none greater has been born!  This name elevated to its glory by the FATHER of the SON!  The Highest of all authority has established that at this name every knee would bow and every mouth would confess JESUS as LORD! 

I proudly claim JESUS as my LORD and SAVIOR!  JESUS is my All in All!

God is all and everything,

On this you can’t expand.

Brighter than the sun He is,

Powerful and so grand!

More beautiful than a rose,

Sweeter than the Lily!

Being in His prescience

Is living in tranquility!

More majestic than the highest peak,

Calmer than the bay!

Purer than the purest gold,

Or greatest diamond on display!

He is even more than this to me,

By Him alone I live!

He bought my life on Calvary

By giving all that He could give!

“O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.”  Psalm 8:1 

“Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” Philippians 2:9-11    

Everywhere

“The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.”  Psalm 8:8

What an amazing GOD we have!  He supplies everything we need and at the same time puts grand thoughts in our minds that take us to places beyond our imagination!

All of GOD’s creation is a picture of things to come!  The Father will take us  higher than the eagle can fly or science can see! Far above the sky and deeper than the sea!

I can see GOD in the sky far above.

And see Him in the depths of the sea.

Wherever I go I shall find Him there.

For that’s where I want to be!

When the LORD asked His disciples,

Will you also go and leave me now?

Where would we go and not find You?

You’re everywhere and to this we avow!

“Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.”  Colossians 1 15-17 

A Scarlet Rope

“He made a pit, and dig it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made.”  Psalm 7:15

When we fall into our own pit we can see what we really are and our need for help.

Making the right choice is important.  My personal pit was ugly and I couldn't seem to find away out.

I made promises to myself to change my way but the road I was on was a circle and I always found myself back where I had started. Once I found the Door of the sheep everything changed including me!

I dug a pit to catch a prey

And put its cover on. 

Forgetting where I put the pit,

I fell inside headlong. 

Now I am here in my trap,

Wondering what I should do. 

My prey is free but I am caught.

I suppose I got my due.

It’s easy now while I’m in here,

To see the fool I've been.   

Getting caught in your own trap,

Is the cost of your sin!

I looked for help from my friends,

But none were to be found.

I sit in this darkened pit

And can not hear a sound.

But there was One that heard my cry

And sent a scarlet rope!

Now I've been lifted from this mire,

JESUS forever is my hope!

“Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.”  John 10:7-10

A Way Out

“Behold, he travails with iniquity, and has conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.”  Psalm 7:14

The traits of the lost sinner are occupied with injustice, deceitfulness and falsehood.  They despise righteousness and those that practice it.  Their concern is for themselves and no one has authority over them.  But JESUS loves them!

They devise evil in their hearts against GOD’s plan.  They are on a mission of hatred against Him.  They are full of themselves.  But JESUS loves them!

Some will never turn and see their sin and will be destroyed with the one that has led them.  While they think they are their own they are owned and controlled by satan.  But JESUS still loves them!

Others will turn as I did, they will see their sin and reach out to the Savior for help and He will save them!  Their nature will be changed; they will not be the same.  CHRIST will redeem them and change their desires!   JESUS loves all, He is “love” but He died and rose for those that trust Him!

The heart is desperately wicked,

And mine is no different than yours!

From the womb we speak lies and are wicked.

And the devil deceives and allures!

But listen there is a solution!

It happened on Calvary’s tree.

Through CHRIST we can be made righteous!

He took our sin that we could be set free!

 

Thank you JESUS!

“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”  2 Corinthians 5:17

When the Arrows Fly

  

“He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.”  Psalm 7:13

Arrows are prepared against those that refuse GOD.  GOD’s indignation is real and needs not to be prepared.  Only GOD knows the hour of His wrath and He is ready! 

When the arrows fly His enemies will be as dried kindling.  Their lofty looks will turn to the look of agony.  All their personal gain will go up into smoke; there is nothing left for them!

They have turned from laughter to sorrow.  Their jesting has left them.  Their once foul mouth no longer is able to speak except to cry out from their bended knees, JESUS is LORD! Their cry is real, their soul will live forever, and the arrow of GOD’s furry is forever!

When the arrows fly

I’ll ride behind the King.

Upon a white horse

With victory I will sing.

JESUS the LORD has come,

To set all things right.

For all that ride behind,

They have won the fight!

HE’ll put one foot on the ocean

And the other on dry land.

HE’ll say now your time is over.

Before the SAVIOR, you will stand!

But the Glory of the LORD

Will sweep you off your feet!

As you bow down before Him,

In your agony you will entreat.

I now know You are my SAVIOR

Is there anything I can do?

You’ve had your opportunity.

My love I showed to you!

TOO LATE!

“For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.”  Romans 14:11-12

A Red Line

“If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready.”  Psalm 7:12

Make no mistake about it when the day of Gods “Red Line” arrives it will be sure!  Others may draw lines that come and are forgotten but the only thing GOD forgets is the sins of those washed in the blood of the LAMB!

Repent and be saved!  Without CHRIST your red line is Hell!  Don’t be a, “Why Didn't I” Be a “Thank GOD I did”!

There is a line drawn.

Will it be Heaven or Hell?

The choice is all yours!

And I pray you do well!

Make no mistake about it

It’s your decision to make.

No one makes it for you.

Of which will you take?

You can’t avoid the choice,

By straddling the fence!

It’s one or the other.

The decision is immense!

Take a look around you

It’s so easy to see.

The end is coming

What will it be?

By making no decision, you have made your place in Hell!

“And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear Him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.”  Matthew 10:28

A Deceitful Image

 “God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.”  Psalm 7:11

Just how good is my righteousness?  Am I better than the one that I assume is wicked?  Has my character and integrity reached the point where I can truly say I am better than the one next to me?

We may enjoy putting ourselves in places we do not deserve.  But the fact is when it comes to being righteous there is only One that has ever accomplished such a feat, “JESUS”! 

We must not think of ourselves as better than another but be thankful we fall into the category of “righteous” because of the righteousness accomplished by JESUS!

I looked in the mirror

And I was perplexed.

I saw what I was

And I was vexed!

In my mind I thought

I was clean and good.

After looking within

I knew I had misunderstood!

It wasn't the mirror,

That made me want to flee.

I was facing the one

Who had lied to me!

Mirror, mirror on the wall

Who’s the purest of them all?

Who is righteous according to GOD?

“JESUS”, and on my knees I fall!

“Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:” Romans 5:1
