See What Gifts

From 6.27.2009

Full of anxiety. I am late to worship and worry about interruption.

Let me be still.

Honor Him

Love Him

Obey Him

See what gifts He gives you in return.

And do these gifts not bring you joy?

And do you not want to shout to the world His greatness?

Do you not want to share with the world your joy?

Addendum to the above worship poem. The gifts I refer to are not material gifts, lest a material minded reader mistakes them as such. The gifts are the Lord's teachings, openings, admonitions, guidance, comfort, and yes, his conversation!

The joy He brings, the comfort, the strength, the revelations He allows us when we are able to see them cannot be adequately described. All we can do is praise Him in prayer; sing of His greatness; and press hard within our longing to go to Him who gives us such gifts. Amen my Lord and Savior, my God and King.
