And the Debate Goes On

The blind and the deaf will not be watching the Debate between the candidates.
They have already made up their minds as to who they will vote for.

The same is true of those who will not read or listen to the truth of the Gospel.
Jesus Christ has been in debate with Satan for thousands of years, and yet the majority will not accept His claims as the Son of God; King of kings and Lord of lords.

His credentials, His life, His death, His resurrection, His ascension, His power and authority in heaven and on earth are thrown aside, disbelieved, and substituted by the claims of the devil.  Life in pursuit of our own happiness and glory is the only thing that appeals to the multitudes.

Dear Father in heaven, open our eyes to the truth.  Show us your authority and power in this nation and around the world—for your glory and our joy.  In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

Father, Son and Holy Spirit
In the morning hours, visit ~

Wake me with a gentle breeze,
Or however you may please.

Search my heart and know my thoughts;
Reveal to me what is of naught.

Remove that which you see as strange;
And by your own design, arrange ~

A place where you may sit and rest;
Where you may draw me to your breast.

Come and find a special place
Where You may dispense Your grace.

Stay ~ and at the noonday meal
Make me know You linger still.

Teach me of Your Holy Word ~
Of Your strength to undergird.

In my heart and in my mind
Write and hide that I may find.

All day long ~ into the twilight hour
Work in me indwelling power.

That I listen and hear your thoughts~
That I may love you as I ought.

Knowing that we both are blessed.
~ When You are Host, and I am guest.

(I wrote this poem after “meditating on my bed” in the early morning hours.   It was a blessing, as I have been concerned about my loss of memory recently; coupled with the study that our church is doing in Thomas Watson’s book The Great Gain of Godliness, Chapter 8 – The Godly Should Meditate on God’s Name. We are challenged to consider what and how often our thoughts are on God. My prayers are that whatever I forget, that I will never forget Him.)
