We Fall Down

April 7, 2014 by

We fall down, we lay our crowns
At the feet of Jesus
The greatness of mercy and love
At the feet of Jesus

And we cry holy, holy, holy
We cry holy, holy, holy
We cry holy, holy, holy is the Lamb

~  Sing this song with me as our prayer and worship today.  ~

Songwriter: Kyle David Matthews  / Performed by: Kutless

What a vivid image of worshipping our Lord and Saviour!  He made the ultimate sacrifice for you and me.  I know I am thankful for His love and mercy that is granted to me each and every day.  I am so often reminded of who He is and what He means to me.  He has forgiven me so much and I owe Him my life. After my son was born, I dedicated him to God.  I was so thankful for this child that was left in my care.  With the help of others, their prayers, and much of my own, my son has grown up to be a wonderful man of God.  He is still growing in the Lord and is pursuing a life that would be pleasing to our Father.  My step-daughter, who came to live with us about two years ago, has changed and grown so much.  I love watching what God is doing in her life.  She is pursuing God with a passion.  There were a few bumps in the road, but that is becoming less and less.  I have the daughter I never had and I am privileged to have her in my life.

May this song bless you with it’s simplicity!

A Hunger for God

April 2, 2014 by

SeekingHimLogo

We have now entered the season of Lent.  For many Christians, Lent is taken as a time of preparation for the celebration of Easter where God miraculously redeemed mankind by resurrecting His Son from the dead. It is also a time to consider what Jesus said and did; and how we should be living in light of His Words.  ✞ ♥

During this season, here on the Seeking Him devotional blog, we have chosen to focus our devotionals on Jesus’ instructions and admonition communicated in Matthew chapter 5—the Beatitudes.  Jesus said, “Blessed are…” and He went on to give instruction as to how to be “blessed.”  To be ‘blessed’ is to ‘be happy, or to be envied.’   Truly for the Christian, we ARE blessed—oh, how very blessed we are!  Those who observe our lives should clearly be able to tell that we ARE blessed—and that we KNOW it! ✞ ♥

Please consider Jesus’ instructions along with us.  We pray that our words will encourage you and spur you on to be prepare your hearts for the joyous celebration of His Resurrection!  ✞ ♥

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness for they will be filled. 
Matthew 5:6

Ever had that overwhelming desire to know our Creator and God more fully?  To know His forgiveness is complete?  Sure you have…me, too!  As we walk through our life there are those moments when the desire is so intense that we want to devour every bit of information we can glean.

As a deer longs for streams of water, so I long for You, God.
I thirst for God, the living God. When can I come and appear before God?
Psalms 42:1-2 HCSB

God, You are my God; I eagerly seek You. I thirst for You;
my body faints for You in a land that is dry, desolate, and without water.
So I gaze on You in the sanctuary to see Your strength and Your glory.
Psalms 63:1-2 HCSB

How can we satisfy our hunger and thirst for God?

  • By becoming immersed in His Word
  • By listening to music that uplifts us
  • By simply being still and listening to His creation that is all around us

When was the last time you sat in communion with God?  I cannot remember the last time I was able to sit for more than 2 minutes and listen for God.

You may say, ‘How can I hear God?’  That is as simple as listening and observing God’s creation.  Most of us have a devotional time.  When we are in those moments, is it by ourselves, with no distractions, no television on to distract or the radio?  Do we listen to our devotion while we are driving to work?

Barnes’ Notes on the New Testament says,

“Never was there a desire to be holy, which God was not willing to gratify.  And the gospel of Christ was made to satisfy all who truly desire to be holy.”

This past weekend, our pastor continued his teaching on  God, Our Deliverer.  He stated that no matter how many times we fail, we should not give up on repentance, and coming to know our heavenly Father more intimately.  The evil one would love nothing more than to discourage you from seeking the knowledge, peace, and comfort that only God can provide.

Just as the woman at the well asked Jesus about the living water He spoke of and explained, we can continue throughout our lives seeking for it as well.  It is not given just once, but continuously as we seek to know Him (John 4:14).  God wants no one to perish. He has adopted us, grafted us into His family, and He will fight to keep us in it.  Oh, what a wonderful Father we serve!

  *  ~  ♥  ~   ✞   ~  ♥  ~  *

Father, we humbly thank You and praise You for Your mercy and grace so freely given.  Forgive us for when we fail to admit our shortcomings and our sins to You.  Help us to rid ourselves of our selfish pride and arrogance and seek to model our lives after Your Son, Jesus.  Holy Spirit, be with us and guide us.  Show us when we stray and help us turn back to our Father. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen!

God’s Not Dead

March 31, 2014 by

psalmshymnsspiritualsongskjv

Let love explode and bring the dead to life
A love so bold to see a revolution somehow
Let love explode and bring the dead to life
A love so bold to bring a revolution somehow
Now I’m lost in your freedom, and this world I’ll overcome 
My God’s not dead; He’s surely alive
He’s living on the inside roaring like a lion
Let hope arise and make the darkness hide
My faith is dead, I need a resurrection somehow 
Now I’m lost in your freedom, and this world I’ll overcome
Let Heaven roar, and fire fall
Come shake the ground with the sound of revival
My God’s not dead; He’s surely alive
He’s living on the inside roaring like a lion

~  Sing this song with me as our prayer and worship today.  ~

*  ~  *  ~    ♥ ~  ✞  ~ ♥    ~  *  ~  * 

 We went to see the movie “God’s Not Dead” this past Friday night.  It is such a great movie!  I hope you get the chance to see it if you have not had the chance yet. This touches on the need to equip our school-age children with the ability to argue why they believe in God and know who God is.

What shocked me was that so many would deny the existence of God in a classroom and not think about the consequences.  I mean, would you write a statement that says, ‘God is Dead’ to get out of taking a class?  I was horrified at the thought!  My God IS alive and well.  Sometimes I do take Him and His mercy for granted and do things I know I have meant to give up…but to write, ‘God is Dead’ is just wrong.

I grew up in a home where I could discuss the Bible with my mom.  She was very knowledgeable and was willing to share her faith.  Where we grew up we were able to walk to a small Baptist church when my brother and I wanted to attend. She did not make us.  It was up to us.  When we were old enough she would go and sit with us to make sure we would behave, and not embarrass her or dad. After a while she would let us go by ourselves.  We would go to Sunday School and attend the worship service, then go home.  From an early age, our acceptance of God was left up to us.

As we grew older we were baptized, became members, served when we could, grew up, and moved away.  God was always there.  Nudging us, loving us, and disciplining us when we deserved it.  Growing up I felt very protected and sheltered.  For that I am thankful.  There are things I don’t need to know…things I don’t want to know.  I want to be able to take people at their face value and not have to read between the lines.

When I attended college, I was not presented the challenge to deny my faith.  I may not have walked in it as I should, but I also do not believe I would have denied Him.  As we think and pray about our schools and colleges, I pray that we as parents are equipping our kids with the ability to defend their faith and their belief in our God.  It may rest on their ability to do that and for them to know why they believe.  Not just because mom and dad, or aunt or grandma goes to church.  Or, to say, ‘I believe because my family does.’  They have to make their relationship with God personal and real.  This can be helped along by our prayers for our children.

*  ~  *  ~    ♥ ~  ✞  ~ ♥    ~  *  ~  * 

Father, thank You!  Thank You for the opportunity to share Your word and Your love with others. Thank You for the opportunity to defend our faith. Let us continue to grow in our confidence of Your Word.  Help us develop an ear to hear the Holy Spirit speaking, and the ability to be still and know more fully who You are.  In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Jesus’ Example of Meekness

March 26, 2014 by

We have now entered the season of Lent. For many Christians, Lent is taken as a time of preparation for the celebration of Easter where God miraculously redeemed mankind by resurrecting His Son from the dead. It is also a time to consider what Jesus said and did; and how we should be living in light of His Words. ✞ ♥

Please consider Jesus’ instructions along with us. We pray that our words will encourage you and spur you on to be prepare your hearts for the joyous celebration of His Resurrection! ✞ ♥

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

What a wonderful statement for us to follow!  When we first hear the word meek, we think of someone who is picked on…someone who is a victim.  But meekness does not mean that at all.  When I think of someone who is meek I think of someone who wants or desires to serve God and others.  It does not mean you are a doormat; rather someone who, if pushed, can take care of themselves.  The meek have a way about them, a way of reproving you, correcting you, teaching you with gentleness. When you are in their presence you feel safe and accepted.

Jesus is the perfect example of meekness in action.  His way was to teach and to be humble in whatever He strove to do.  He did become angry, but rightly so.  He had to drive away those who would cheapen His Father’s house (as described in Matthew 21:11-13).

The crowds answered, “This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee.”
Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all who were buying and selling there.
He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves.
“It is written,” He said to them, “‘My House will be called a house of prayer,’
but you are making it ‘a den of robbers.’”

I would imagine God was very pleased with His Son being zealous for the people and reminding them of what is holy and acceptable activity in the Temple. It definitely was not stealing from others.

Another description of Jesus’ meekness and obedience to His Father is found in Matthew 26:47-52:

While he was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, arrived.
With him was a large crowd armed with swords and clubs,
sent from the chief priests and the elders of the people.
Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: “The one I kiss is the man; arrest him.”
Going at once to Jesus, Judas said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” and kissed him.
Jesus replied, “Do what you came for, friend.” Then the men stepped forward,
seized Jesus and arrested him.
With that, one of Jesus’ companions reached for his sword, drew it out
and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.
“Put your sword back in its place,” Jesus said to him,
“for all who draw the sword will die by the sword.
Do you think I cannot call on my Father, and He will at once
put at My disposal more than twelve legions of angels?
But how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen in this way?”

Jesus reminds us here that there is a time and a place to protect yourself from injustice.  Jesus knew what the outcome was going to be.  He chose to obey what had been determined from the beginning of time—before the temple, the people—even the world was formed and breathed into existence.

Let us do our best this week to wait on God.  Let Him speak to us through the Holy Spirit and follow Christ’s example in listening and waiting.  This can be down at home, at work, and at our place of worship.  Wherever you serve or work, let us practice meekness.  When that irritating person comes into our cubicle, let us relax and really listen to what that person is saying. When your child whines to you, stop and listen. When you husband calls to see how you are doing, don’t assume it is to complain or criticize; praise him on how he is doing as a father to your children and as husband to you.  Practice meekness.  You will be blessed.

 * ~ ♥ ~ ✞ ~ ♥~ *

Father, thank You for giving us an example of meekness that we can follow everyday.  Help us to slow down and know that You are God.  As we go through the remaining weeks before Easter, let our thoughts be about You and Your sacrifice for us on the Cross.  We thank You, Father, for we know You are worthy!  We pray in Jesus’ Name, Amen.

During the first night of our Whiteboard Small Group Study, everyone was asked what their favorite verse was.  Then this brought about speaking about the books of the Holy Bible and being able to repeat them in order.  The person leading the group remembered this song. He said it was his favorite and how it shows how God has/is faithful to all who would and do believe.

What a great song to be able to play for our unbelieving friends.  I pray that it ministers to you as it did to me.

For those that are in mourning over the loss of a loved one, loss of a job, loss of any type that would cause you to be sad..know that God is always by your side to pick you up and help you with whatever you are going through.

…And provide for those who grieve in Zion—to bestow on them a crown of beauty
instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise
instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness,
a planting of the Lord for the display of His splendor.
Isaiah 61:3

When I Survey The Wondrous Cross

March 17, 2014 by

psalmshymnsspiritualsongskjv

When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of glory died,
My richest gain I count but loss,
And pour contempt on all my pride.

Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast,
Save in the death of Christ my God!
All the vain things that charm me most,
I sacrifice them to His blood

See from His head, His hands, His feet,
Sorrow and love flow mingled down!
Did e’er such love and sorrow meet,
Or thorns compose so rich a crown?

His dying crimson, like a robe,
Spreads o’er His body on the tree;
Then I am dead to all the globe,
And all the globe is dead to me.

Were the whole realm of nature mine,
That were a present far too small;
Love so amazing, so divine,
Demands my soul, my life, my all.

To Christ, who won for sinners grace
By bitter grief and anguish sore,
Be praise from all the ransomed race
Forever and forevermore.

~  Sing this song with me as our prayer and worship today.  ~

Songwriter: Isaac Watts/ Performed by Vineyard’s Kathryn Scott
* ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ *
What a wonderfully written hymn!  This is one is so God-breathed.  As the Holy Spirit led, Isaac Watts wrote.  It is interesting, while reading the biography of Watts, how he was a Nonconformist.  He did not go by the traditional teachings of his era, he was always outspoken.  He had a natural gift for rhyming and was punished for using it.

As we begin to think about Easter and what Christ’s death on the Cross means for each of us, I would ask that you think about keeping a journal.  Write down prayers, thoughts, praises, or anything that you believe would help you celebrate Easter with a new viewpoint in the years to come.

* ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ *

Father, I ask that You watch over each of us during the Lent season.  Help us to see and learn more about what the Cross means for us.  Help us to see our salvation in a new way.  We love You and want to know You more.  We want a more intimate relationship with You.  Thank You, Lord!  In Jesus’ Name, we pray.  Amen.

Poor In Spirit

Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.
Matthew 5:3

Jesus was teaching the lost on the side of a hill.  As He was speaking all kinds of people surrounded Him—rich, poor, healthy, sick, loved, hated.  His teaching was for all who would seek Him and His Father.

In researching and thinking about what “poor in spirit” is, I came acoss a study which stated,

“Being ‘poor in Spirit’ is to have a humble and broken/contrite heart
that constantly seeks help and forgiveness
from God for their very existence.”
(Biblesco: Free Inductive Bible Study Lessons)

From the beginning of time, God has wanted a unique relationship with His people. When the people of Israel kept refusing to follow God’s leading, He would bring punishments upon them.  Sometimes these were very painful and then He would show mercy.  The people would repent and turn back to Him for a period of time but would fall back into the old familiar patterns of behavior.

Then God decided it was right for His Son Jesus to come and live among us for a period of time.  The life Jesus lived among us was fantastic.  He obeyed His earthly parents, His Heavenly Father, and learned at the feet of His local teachers.  When it was time for Jesus to begin His ministry, He sought to give it to the Jewish people.  The Pharisees and Saducees had hardened hearts and rejected God’s truth, but Jesus did not stop sharing.  They were more about revenge and keeping rules than in showing grace and mercy toward others.  These people had long since forgotten what it was like to have a ‘humble, contrite heart’.

* ~ ♥ ~ ✞ ~ ♥~ *

As we prepare our hearts for the Easter season let us try to remember the sacrifice He made for us.  Let us remember to be humble and obedient to God’s word and leading of the Holy Spirit.  He will honor us when we honor Him and His Son.

Learning To Be The Light – Newworldson

March 10, 2014 by

psalmshymnsspiritualsongskjv

~  Listen while you read, please!  ~

When the stars came crashing down
In tiny pieces to the ground
I was all alone down here
Trapped beneath the atmosphere
Then I, thought somebody called my name,
I spun around and caught a flame
I gave into a God I didn’t know
And now everything is falling into place
A brand new life is calling and I owe it all to grace

It’s so much brighter living in Your world
Savior, what You did for me
You gave me something I want everyone to see
When we struggle and it all goes wrong
Only You can make it right
So I say, Oh oh oh oh oh
I’m learning to be the light
Whoa, whoa
I’m learning to be the light
Whoa, whoa

When a heart is cold as ice
You can’t melt it with advice
No one wants to listen to
A list of things they shouldn’t do
So I build a city on a hill
And I light a candle on a sill
Knowing You’ll be always knocking at the door
Oh God I just want to love on everyone
All I have is Yours to give so let the people come

The light that makes the shadows hide
The light that breaks the curse of pride
The light that takes the weary in its arms

When it all came crashing down
There was only darkness all around
But in the distance I could see
A flame

* ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ *

We each have been commissioned to share the Gospel of Christ to every tribe and nation.  We should have such a light shining that draws others to us as a moth is drawn to an open flame.  We get so bogged down with our day-to-day routines and feel that there is no way out sometimes.  We wonder if there is a way to break our boring routines.  But there is!  All we have to do is find joy in our every day.

One way to go about that would be to praise God that we have bills to pay, that we have a spouse that works, healthy children, good healthcare, great friends!  Whatever your situation, there is an opportunity to sing praises to God and give Him the glory for the ‘everyday.’  We are a truly blessed nation and we take for granted what privileges we have given to us.

As you go through your day, look at what you do with new eyes.  Look at what you have as though you are a person from a Third World country.   A place like Peru or the area around the Amazon in South America.  We have such abundance and they often have nothing.  They have no running water and yet they are content.  They do not have a grocery store and yet a 5 year old boy goes out in the river fishing for his family’s breakfast in a flat boat.  We would never dream of sending our kids out in a dangerous river like that.

As we enter the Easter season, take time to pray.  Get by yourself, if that is not your routine and meditate on a song or Scripture.  Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal to you what He would have for you today.  Just for today.  Wait for Him and He will be faithful to answer.

* ~ ♥ ~  ✞  ~ ♥ ~ *

Father, forgive us for being a spoiled nation.  Lord, help us come back to You. Help us to not become desensitized to those things that grieve Your Holy Spirit.  Help us not to seek out things that would harden our hearts towards You and Your kingdom.  Thank You for Your provisions.  Let us have a healthy filter for what would please You, Lord.  In Jesus’ name.  Amen.

The Struggle — Victory

March 5, 2014 by

psalmshymnsspiritualsongskjv

~  Listen while you read, please!  ~
There’s a wreckage, there’s a fire; there’s a weakness in my love
There’s a hunger I can’t control
Lord, I falter and I fall down then I hold on to chains You broke
When You came and saved my soul…saved my soul
Hallelujah! we are free to struggle
 We’re not struggling to be free
Your blood bought and makes us children
Children, drop your chains and sing
So, why, Lord, do I still fail, do I wear thin?
Why do I still give in to temptation?
On my own, I am bankrupt, I don’t trust You or take You at Your Word
What You’ve promised, yeah 
Hallelujah, Death is overcome and we are breathing
Hallelujah, Our stone hearts become flesh that’s beating
Hallelujah, Chains have been undone and we are singing
Hallelujah, The fire has begun. Can you feel it?

~  Performed by Tenth Avenue North  ~
* ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ *
Do we ever struggle some days!  Sometimes it may be a struggle to get out of bed, or to complete a task at work, or even to complete a task at home.  When we find ourselves at our wits’ end because we have been trying to do everything on our own, it is time to stop, pray, and give it to the only One that can help us through—God.
I know, that is such an easy answer.  But you know what, He IS the answer.  Yes, we are to do what we are designed to do.  But if we start whatever task that is laid before us by preparing our hearts and asking for His help on the front end—it will go so much smoother <and less making faces or sighing when we just want to throw something, even if it is the cat or child…ha, ha!>
Try for the next few days to start any thing you do with a prayer of thanksgiving and entreaty.  You will be surprised at how less stressful the project can go!
