How many are your works, O Lord!
In wisdom you made them all.
(Psalm 104:24, NIV)
I sail through so many daily activities with
boredom or
indifference.
When tough experiences come, I greet them with
fear or
resentment.
Lord, I assume the meaninglessness of life as
You have allowed it to come to me.
I believe I’ll recognize the significant when I see it,
but much of the time, life seems either
mundane or
unkind.
But then, Lord,
I catch a glimpse of beauty, or
I see deep meaning in some common event
I’ve witnessed a thousand times.
I look back and realize
tremendous value in some trial about which
I complained so bitterly.
Lord, You are always working!
I will keep my faith awake and
my eyes fixed on You.
Despair of yourself as much as you want,
but do not despair of God.
He is always loving,
always powerful,
always wise, and
He will reward you according to your faith in Him.
(paraphrased from Francois Fenelon)
Here is a hymn for milestones –
birthdays, anniversaries, New Year’s.
Looking behind at
all God has done gives us
full assurance for the future.
We
look behind at all You’ve done.
We trace the path on which we’ve come.
Holy Father, You are mercy!
Lord, everywhere we see Your hand,
The pattern of Your loving plan.
Holy Father, You are mercy!
Holy Father, You are mercy!
You are mercy!
Through
all the wanderings of our lives,
You daily lead us in the light.
Loving Father, You are faithful!
Through all the sin we cannot hide,
You claim us as Your holy bride.
Loving Father, You are faithful!
Loving Father, You are faithful!
You are faithful!
We
look ahead, O Lord, and see
A glimpse of all that is to be.
We exalt You! Alleluia!
Almighty God, Eternal Truth,
All life is always only You!
We exalt You! Alleluia!
We exalt You! Alleluia!
Alleluia!

Here’s an intriguing detail I came across this morning in Genesis 18:14.
God had sent three angels to tell Abraham that, at long last, Sarah would bear him a son within a year. Sarah was listening at the tent door and laughed at the news. She couldn’t believe that she would have such “pleasure,” since both she and Abraham were past 90. In v.14, God (apparently through the angel) answered her,
“Is there anything too difficult for the LORD?” (NASB; NIV, “too hard”).
But another translation, and perhaps a more literal one, is
“Is there anything too wonderful for Yahweh?”
That translation makes my heart smile. It brings to mind a flood of marvelous blessings the Lord has poured out over the years. Truly, is there anything too wonderful for our God?
When nagged by uncertainties big and small –
no fear.
In the grip of illness –
no fear.
In need –
no fear.
In loss –
no fear.
In change –
no fear.
In all my weakness and boundless ignorance –
no fear.
In the darkness –
no fear.
When opposed by forces far stronger than myself –
no fear.
When assaulted by temptation –
no fear.
When threatened by suffering –
no fear.
In the valley of the shadow of death –
no fear.
For my life is hidden with Christ
in You,
my Father,
my loving Savior,
my mighty Rock,
my sovereign Lord and
my everlasting God.
Nothing in this world,
seen or unseen,
can make us afraid
as we simply trust our Father.

Christmas is a joyful celebration, and
God has invited
everyone!
The
welcome call goes out to all –
The young may come,
The old may come.
The rich, the poor, we all may come,
For Christ the Lord is with us!
Refrain
Jesus! Jesus!
God on earth! Man in heaven!
Jesus! Jesus!
Glory to God in the highest!
Forever
God, forever man!
The promise comes!
Our heaven comes!
Now love completes what love began,
For Christ the Lord is with us!
The
high, the low are all His own.
You doubters, come!
You guilty, come!
The holy life is flesh and bone,
For Christ the Lord is with us!

The Lord spoke to me with his strong hand upon me, warning me not to follow the way of this people. He said…“Do not fear what they fear…The Lord Almighty is the one You are to regard as holy, he is the one you are to fear.”(Isaiah 8:11-13, NIV)
Father, You are Almighty God,
the sovereign Lord over all reality.
Fearing You,
I need fear nothing else.
You are wisdom and love,
so I want only Your will.
You are truth.
Everything else is false and fading,
unworthy of my desire and trust
You are all-in-all.
Outside You is only emptiness and nothingness.
Outside You all will change and die.
You are forever.
You are unchanging.
You are complete, and
I am complete only in You.
Father, often I come to You so anxious that
I ignore the comforting truth I crave,
even as You sing and dance and paint it all around me.
It is the unchanging truth that
You are all power and beauty, wisdom and love, and
that I have absolutely nothing to fear.
Hymn: The Fear of God

The almighty, transcendent God
made Himself
like us
so that we might be
like Him.
Fountain
of all, great uncreated Light,
Very God, high above!
Sovereign in power, Your will the final word,
Boundless life, burning love!
Lord, You laid aside all that God can be
And Your glory hid in simplicity.
In love You came, the Son of Man,
All You are as I am.
Helpless
You lay, the undiminished God,
Human child, flesh and bone.
What mighty power could bring all heaven here?
Loving Christ, You alone!
You have shown our race what we all can be,
For Your glory fills our humanity.
I hold this hope, though from so far:
All I am as You are.
Lord,
we are one! The earth and heaven join.
All is light! All is new!
All join the dance and shout for holy joy!
We are free now in You!
Life is rich and deep and beyond all time.
Every joy is full, every breath divine.
Your glorious gift is now restored.
Loving Christ, You are Lord!
