E rui totoka!

During quiet time today I sat listening to this song.

Lord You're more precious then silver

Lord You're more costly than gold

Lord You're more beautiful than others

Nothing that I desire compares with You



You're fairer than the lily of the valley

You're brighter than the morning star

You're purer than the snow

Fresher than the breeze

Lovelier by far than all of these

(sung by Irene Drauna)



What a lovely song of adoration. The beauty of our God is way beyond description. Our human language is limited and words cannot describe the magnitude and splendor of His beauty.

To help us understand His beauty, we compare Him to the finest things around us but we know that He is way, way beyond that!! We look at the diversity and creativity of things around us and it speaks volume about the One who created them.

WOW! What would I say if I saw Him in ALL His beauty? I know I would be lost for words! I would be in awe! Creation gives us a glimpse of this beauty!

Freedom is mine!

It's You Alone

This morning as I read Isaiah 25 again, it stirred up my desire to know this God even more. When my eyes are fixed on Him, His faithfulness which is so 'spot-on' and perfect becomes my shield. By reading His Words and allowing His Words to speak to my heart it strengthens my faith in the shield.

May there be no other God except Him alone! When I seek Him first and thirst for His Presence, everything else will seem so insignificant. Why would I worry about what concerns me because I know that He reminds me through His promises '..... all these things will be added unto you' (Matt.6:33). Just as the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it yield seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it (Isa.55:10-11).

My prayer this morning was: That the Lord would help me not to form ties,bond or roots with the material possessions He has blessed me with because when these ties become so promininent they would become idols. I would worry about them and when I worry about them, it would belittle my faith in His steadfast promises.
