Something i thought i needed to do in light of election fever this 2008...
Therefore, because you tread down the poor and take grain taxes from him, though you have built houses of hewn stone, Yet you shall not dwell in them. You have planted pleasant vineyards, but you shall not drink wine from them. For i know your manifold transgressions, and your mighty sins; Afflicting the just and taking bribes; Diverting the poor from justice at the gate..
I hate, I despise your feast days. And I do not savor your sacred assemblies. Though you offer Me burnt offerings, I WILL NOT ACCEPT THEM. Nor will I regard your fattened peace offerings.

Take away from Me the noise of your songs. For I will not hear the melody of your stringed instruments.
BUT LET JUSTICE RUN DOWN LIKE WATER, AND RIGHTEOUSNESS LIKE A MIGHTY STREAM.
Amos 5: 11-12, 21-24
A short lesson about the birds... from Jesus.
25 …I tell you not to worry about everyday life—whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Isn’t life more than food, and your body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren’t you far more valuable to him than they are? 27 Can all your worries add a single moment to your life? 28 “And why worry about your clothing? Look at the lilies of the field and how they grow. They don’t work or make their clothing, 29 yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are. 30 And if God cares so wonderfully for wildflowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith? 31 “So don’t worry about these things, saying, ‘What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?’ 32 These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs. 33 Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.” Matthew 6:25-33 NLT

Psalm 25
[a]A psalm of David.
1 O Lord, I give my life to you.
2 I trust in you, my God!
Do not let me be disgraced,
or let my enemies rejoice in my defeat.
3 No one who trusts in you will ever be disgraced,
but disgrace comes to those who try to deceive others.
4 Show me the right path, O Lord;
point out the road for me to follow.
5 Lead me by your truth and teach me,
for you are the God who saves me.
All day long I put my hope in you.
6 Remember, O Lord, your compassion and unfailing love,
which you have shown from long ages past.
7 Do not remember the rebellious sins of my youth.
Remember me in the light of your unfailing love,
for you are merciful, O Lord.
A CALL TO ALL THOSE SEEKING LEADERSHIP

poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge:
"If men could learn from history, what lessons it might teach us! BUT passion and party blind our eyes, and the light which experience gives is a lantern on the stern which shines only on the waves behind us."
I'd summarize this as "missplaced passion"

Micah 6:6-8 ” With what shall I come before the LORD and bow down before the exalted God?
Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old? Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams, with ten thousand rivers of oil? Shall I offer my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.” Jesus said:
Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.

I took this while it was pouring cats and dogs outside [while i was well sheltered], and it reminded me of all the work done.. and the fruit that often seems so, so elusive. BUT..
Sow in tears and you will reap in joy. So.. DON'T lose heart.

I WILL SING- Don Moen
Lord You seem so far away. A million miles or more it feels today.
And though I haven lost my faith, I must confess right now that it's hard for me to pray.
But I don't know what to say and I dont know where to start.
But as you give the grace with all that's in my heart.
I will sing.
I will praise even in my darkest time through the sorrow and the pain.
I will sing. I will praise.
Lift my hands to honor You because Your word is true. I will sing.
Lord is hard for me to see all the thought and plan You have for me.
But I will put my trust in You. Lord will meet Your guide to set me free.
But I don't know what to say and I don't know where to start.
But as you give the grace with all that's in my heart.
I will sing.
I will praise even in my darkest time through the sorrow and the pain.
I will sing. I will praise.
Lift my hands to honor You because Your word is true. I will sing
“For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul” (Mark 8:36)?
sadly..many only have this "revelation" when their time is near, when fear and regret roars out loud.
David, was blinded by gross sin; but because of the faithfullness of the Lord , and David's teachable spirit, conviction came and the sinner repented..penning down Psalm 51.

Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.
The word translated "meek" means mild of disposition or gentle of spirit.
It's not the same as being a doormat, wimp, or simply weakling .
Moses was called the meekest man on Earth, (Numbers 12:3) but he faced down Pharaoh, talked with God,
and supervised over a million people on a 40 year camping trip.
dedicated to all workers out there who prod on in tears and in faithfullness.
He is Mighty to save!

O Lord, do not rebuke me in your anger or discipline me in your wrath.
Be merciful to me, Lord, for I am faint; O Lord, heal me, for my bones are in agony.
My soul is in anguish. How long, O Lord, how long?
Turn, O Lord, and deliver me; save me because of your unfailing love.
No one remembers you when he is dead. Who praises you from the grave?
I am worn out from groaning; all night long I flood my bed with weeping and drench my couch with tears.
My eyes grow weak with sorrow; they fail because of all my foes.
Away from me, all you who do evil, for the Lord has heard my weeping.
The Lord has heard my cry for mercy; the Lord accepts my prayer.
All my enemies will be ashamed and dismayed; they will turn back in sudden disgrace.
(Psalm 6)

Isaiah 29:13-14 "These people come near to me with their mouth and honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Their worship of me is made up only of rules taught by men.Therefore once more I will astound these people with wonder upon wonder; the wisdom of the wise will perish, the intelligence of the intelligent will vanish."
1 Cor 1:18-25; For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. For it is written: "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate."
Where is the wise man? Where is the scholar? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? For the foolishness of God is wiser than man's wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man's strength
"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."
