Naming, Claiming, and Proclaiming

the Abundant Life

Who am I? Good question. Who am I, really?
A very good question, a soul-searching question.

I am in search of The Abundant Life.
Why  choose the abundant life? What is it? And where may it be found?

Join me in my journey to The Abundant Life.

Why desire it?    What is it?   Where is it?

Thought For an abundant day

Who Am I To Question God?

The desire to know and be in control can be overwhelming. But we can’t possibly know everything and control in life is impossible. When we run into this wall, what is our response? Question God? Second guess Him? Dismiss Him as ineffectual?

Charles Spurgeon has a better solution:

“The servant does not know what his master is doing. Shall the architect explain his plans to every bricklayer on the job? If he knows his own intent, is it not enough? The pot upon the wheel cannot guess to what pattern it will be conformed, but if the potter understands his art, the ignorance of the clay is irrelevant.” (Morning and Evening, the evening of August 14)

In so many of life’s events, our lack of understanding is irrelevant and we are but ignorant clay in the hands of the Master Potter. The Lord Reigns. This is all we need to know and desire.

I begin each day with short reflections based on Study, Prayer, and a commitment to Action (my Bible SPA).

What amazes me is the ease, breadth and depth of these thoughts that can only come from the Holy Spirit. I conclude each reflection with a mention of God’s altar because it is at God’s altar where blessings are bestowed, gratitude is offered, and wholeness is made. And God’s altar may be found anywhere and everywhere, and especially in my heart.

Believe Before I See

Today I will commit to Martha’s response to Jesus: to believe before she sees. (See John 11.) This contrasts with “see then believe.” (NB: Martha committed to belief before Christ raised Lazarus.) John 11:26-27And whoever continues to live and believes in (has faith...

Make Christ My First Priority

Today I will focus on how my relationship with Christ is based on my relationship with the world and that is a matter of priority. I cannot fully and truly love myself and others unless my first love is for Christ, for that is where the true power of love resides. Not...
