For today a thankful heart emerges and the cold winter air sneaking in past the window sills and beneath and around the door jambs, yet the heater battles on and life lifts from bed and the Lord smiles on me again. I have not sprung from that position in awhile but the cobbles grown over time one day will become smooth, but for now, I say thank you Lord another day to rejoice in your presents! That is the day given for a purpose to become a day for His joyous plan. Now I may rise and rejoice in His great mercies and iworship and iWork and iwitness! He takes no ones name from His book until He meets with them at judgment day and it is removed only if He cannot see Christ in you. For you have a life time to seek, knock and find the door of truth and life before you are removed from the book of life. Why do so many religious spend there time removing others from the book of life to lift up themselves? I guess it is pride again or fear of iWork not really being different from others. Yet it is not iWork that is the difference, it is the iworship that compels us to spend the gifts given through the living of our love via the Holy spirit via iWitness!

Saved or not to be saved? What is my role in this endeavor if any, predestination versus my will for His will? So confusing and yet so simple! My role for today and it’s affect if any on my walk with Jesus. Once saved always saved? Wow – big questions, deep questions. A part of working out your salvation with fear and trembling I suppose. Fear of God – God’s power to choose, to receive or accept the offering He has revealed, in the man He has made, called, purified, redeemed, justified, and now sanctifying. The answer I do not know. I plan, I try, to be holy as he is Holy, to walk in righteousness with Him, to seek Him and to bring my walk physically into the understanding, yet immature, of the realm of the spirit world. For this spirit world exists and through our faith we may see, apply and reveal, and hope and relate and with His promise may one day live first hand as He has confirmed reaching us. No verse says bow and pray for salvation and then is but rather to confess with your mouth and believe. Heb 10:36-38 “For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. 37 For yet, a little while, and he that shall come, and will not tarry. 38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man shall draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.”. Work it out – no one but you will be there to answer for your actions! In fear and trembling bucketline!
God placed cherubim and a flaming sword to keep man from access to the tree of life after forcing him from paradise. Falling from the covering of God as once walking in the coolness of day chatting and enjoying the many gifts of the garden. Becoming like god’s knowing good and evil had a cost to our parents and now to us. Repeating the fateful day of sin walking from security and endless provision and into a toil for provision and a nature to hide action overtly wrong – choosing shame into repentance or shame into the sin club. From the woman the enmity of her seed would forever cause strife, and yet through her seed would so to come a new plan to reunite the broken with the perfect. So out of work with the cursed ground comes provision and through the seed comes the new life to join man with God. The tree of life offered but only through the seed of Christ. Sin continues it’s pursuit in our insatiable desire brought on by being like god’s, the trinity, yet impossible without Jesus, we toil to find a path back to that security and work without toil. In all the plan God’s new covenant with us through the seed of mother Mary, we will be left to also bring the good news of the gospel of Jesus Cheist to our fellow eres to now begin witness. This added task is the one single path that bridges all to the paradise we once resided. This tree of life promising everlasting life with God is our celebration out of gratefulness for the pathway back Jesus has offered. How great is our God who invites us back to worship, work and now witness. Genesis 3
By trust in the written word of the bible we exercise faith in the credibility for our salvation through Jesus Christ comprehending that the spoken word of God created things we now see from things not seen, which is faith. This faith is the confidence in the proof of things visible declaring the existence of God not seen. This entity called faith is real, of declaration, of substance, is repeatable, is truthful, gives credence, plausibility, assurance and reproof.
Faith is the link to our Savior, to God, to all truth, the method of communication; of story, of science, of myth and fable, the key to reality, creativity, of agreement and argument, of mark and of sign. Faith demands clarity as it stands alone yet in a demonstrative excellence connecting the perfect with the imperfect, the tissue in flesh of the son of man, the emanual, the Christ child, the savior, the passion who summons all to see and know, to understand, to commune with the creator God, the funnel of tangible with intangible, the darkness into light, the dead with the living, the birthed with the one who births, the numbered with the numberer. Faith to faith, glory to glory! For He is Holy, you are called to be Holy! What word do you speak today? How is it connecting you to God? Hebrews 11
The sun shown brightly and the rooster crows! The daybreak is here and the school bus quickly approaches. Nerves flustered and new warning of the unfolding days uncertainty. What will and may come of this newness? How will I ever manage? The air crisp with the same newness as a deep breathe seems to feed only the bundle of nerves fluttering with strangeness. A prayer and the reminder of His peace and control as relinquished so many times before. Thank you for the sense of control Lord even if it is only to hand it off to you to hold and reign. Your spirit in me, made by you, for this day, you larger than any thing I could face this day and now I walk into uncertainty with a confidence that uncertainty is your gift to me waiting with the treasures of life as you usher in another victory for me to sigh. Selah! I remember the resoning first seen and understood, believing in your greatness! You have raised up yet another, life in me, as you promise through your words to and for me.
Hear the reasoning and trust God the one who sent Him, bypass condemnation and death and live! The reasoning is not for all to understand but for those in whom with belief it guides to truth which illuminates the word into truth, otherwise only words confounding the worlds wise. For today may from your mouth may a certain man or woman or child hear His reasoning and believe in the one in whom has sent you. That they too, may bypass condemnation and receive life rather than death! John 5:24
