Luke 12:42-43
King James Version
42 And the Lord said,
Who then is that faithful and wise steward,
whom his lord shall make ruler over his household,
to give them their portion of meat in due season?
43 Blessed is that servant,
whom his lord when he cometh
shall find so doing.
Acknowledgment.
Appreciation.
Awe.
Those are the things I feel.
When I see what GOD has created.
What GOD has done for us.
What GOD has promised us.
I don't look to the big things.
I look to the small things.
To the things people take for granted.
Such as this lone rose.
From the two dozen roses, only one was left standing.
Only GOD knows how it happened.
For only GOD has power over everything.
Whether it be the life, of one rose.
Or the life, of one person.
I suppose I've always been that way.
Appreciating the simple things.
The forgotten things.
I still see life, in the discarded things.
Would that be of use in my task as workman?
I suppose so.
For SPIRIT guided me to create "blooks".
What I call our blogs, and books.
Which aim to share Scripture.
Invigorating self, faith, and churches once more.
And yet, it's all for GOD's GLORY.
To acknowledge His love.
To appreciate JESUS, Who gave His life for us.
To thank SPIRIT, for teaching me Scripture.
My lone, standing rose may be gone.
Past its life.
Past its freshness.
But never past its beauty.
I still see life in it.
Dried, but not forgotten.
For one who is born again, everything GOD made, has life.
For our GOD is a LIVING GOD.
He breathes life into man.
His SPIRIT refreshes us.
We are subject to His laws.
The true born again doesn't worship nature.
We appreciate it, but we don't worship it.
We worship the One, TRUE GOD alone.
Whose face is in JESUS.
John 14:7
King James Version
7 If ye had known me,
ye should have known my Father also:
and from henceforth ye know him,
and have seen him.
