Pride
Friday, August 20th, 2010Picking away at my soul
Righteousness from within
I turn a blind eye to my own sin
Do not be fooled, O my soul
Evil is from within
Picking away at my soul
Righteousness from within
I turn a blind eye to my own sin
Do not be fooled, O my soul
Evil is from within
To the Lord do we sing our praise
Has He not come down for us men?
And showed us the way to the Father?
Now all can be justified in His sight
Knowing that the price has been paid in full
Follow Jesus, come and follow Him
Until the end of time He will not forsake you
Loving are all His ways
Rejoice, O my soul, for He has been good to you
Father who art in heaven
Holy is Your name
You are faithful in all You do
And all creation will declare Your name
May Your Kingdom come, O Lord
May Your message of peace, love and forgiveness be preached throughout the earth
And may we Your people, do Your will
As the angles do in heaven
May we not fail You, but bring honor to Your name
And to the One who knew our needs before the foundations of the earth
I pray that You would fulfill those needs
For it is only by Your grace that they are filled
And O, that You would forgive me my sins
For I could never repay them
I have forgiven those who own debts to me
In the faith that You will forgive me mine
And to the One who never temps me to do evil
Chain me to Your self and never allow me to wonder

What is a man that God would think of us? That is a good question. I love looking at the images from the Hubble. We are so small, it is as if we are nothing. Some people see these pictures and think that if there is a God and if everything else is so big and we are so small then he would not think about us. God would be thinking about bigger things. Grander things.
Nyssa planted some sunflowers the other day and the first one bloomed today. It’s beautiful. It really is. And as I was looking at it this morning I knew what I wanted to do for today’s Friday Praise. I just want to ask you to take a moment and consider the flowers.
In Matthew 6:28-29 Jesus says that “they [flowers] neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the fields, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more cloth you, O you of little faith?”
