Weekend Worship: From Mourning into Dancing

You have turned for me 

my mourning into dancing;
You have put off my sackcloth

 and clothed me with gladness,
To the end that my glory will sing praise to You 

and not be silent.
O Lord my God, 

I will give thanks to You forever.

                                                        - Psalm 30 11-12

Five Minute Friday: Choose

Ok, Lord, I get it.

It’s time to make a choice and I will. But  you know what Lord?  That choosing thing is easier said than done  and as far as I’m concerned, free will is highly overrated. 

You say in the word, “I set before you this day, life and death – choose life.” Ok, good point. But which one is life for me? Both situations work, the pros and cons of both are equals for the most part. So how do I choose when my heart  cries out for both? Which do I pick? Am I thinking too much, Lord? Maybe so. But you’re right. It’s past time to choose and I will.  Just tell me what the right answer is and I’ll choose it.

Weekend Worship: Write What You See

Write what you see.
Write it out in big block letters so that it can be read on the run.
This vision is a witness pointing to what’s coming.
It aches for the coming—it can hardly wait! And it doesn’t lie.
If it seems slow in coming, wait.

It’s on its way. 

It will come right on time.
