Sitting at the Table

 

First I thought You were far away

A Phantom Being that made me pray

Then I felt Your Holy Spirit

And how You’re so compassionate

 

A presence I long to be near

Your love for me is so sincere

I want to know You’re pleased with me

And to know You’re trustworthy

 

And I am someone independent

Trying to be self-sufficient

Hostile if others don’t like me

But You’re changing that recently

 

You see me as Your precious child

Looking at me with a smile

With tears of joy in Your eyes

I am someone You highly prize

 Yet I am not that confident

I am also impatient

I struggle with my own self-doubt

My faith needs to be hammered out

 

I try to do things on my own

Increase my own dominion

When You are the master of all

You established the protocol

 

Urging me to sit at Your table

With Father, Son, Spirit as equals

Fully God and fully man

Submitting to the holy plan

 

To cleanse us from the curse of sin

You gave us Your Spirit within

But I feel so unworthy

Unfit to accept such glory

 

Because I lack obedience

I feel I don’t have the clearance

I am way too insecure

To accept the seat that You offered


A good child would be submissive

And that thought held me captive

Made me weak and so passive

Made the seat unattractive

 

How could I conceivably

Sit with the Holy Trinity?

My sins are just way too ugly

That was my identity

 

Yet You are the God of Love

And see me as most worthy of

Your divine admiration

I am Your beloved creation

 

Jesus died to make me Yours

Someone You highly adore

And the seat is always free

As it is meant only for me

 

I just need to accept my place

Accept Your eternal grace

You have chosen me as Your own

An inheritor of Your throne

The True Enemy

Inspired by Numbers 25 & Matthew Henry's commentary While the Israelites were camped at Acacia Grove To defile themselves the men willingly chose Seduced by Moabite women and their deities Making the Lord angry and release His fury Rapport with the wicked is more harmful than enmity It is our immoral desires that is the true enemy Giving into worldly interests and its pleasures Forgetting to put the Lord at our core and center Let us execute His vengeance in zeal and faith To remain in His good graces and holy estate So God may make a special covenant of peace And His divine favor upon us may increase God punishes the wicked not with a rod But with swords exposing their profane facade Punishing those who tempt others to fail While His righteousness will always prevail

More Than Conquerers

Inspired by Matthew Henry's  commentary  on Numbers chapter 21 Before our march to the Promised Land We may find ourselves in enemy's hands But let us look thoroughly to the Lord Our only way to keep moving forward So instead of Arad, we have Hormah As the enemy's sins are enormous God will bring about their destruction His love for His children brings protection But as we continue on our journey We can be impatient and be in a hurry Then complain about the Lord's provision Bringing about the Lord's derision The serpent comes back to bite at our heels Making our grievances his meal Our very lives does he greedily steal Making us look up so we can be healed Look up and see the serpent of bronze Do not fear death that corresponds The venom may stir up our sinful passions But only the Lord can bring salvation Do not forget and always remember When God blessed us with living water Our expectations should be tempered And only rely on His Grace and His Favor Wicked men tr...
