From: The Holy Are Humble by A.W. Tozer

I have met two classes of Christians; the proud who imagine they are humble, and the humble who are afraid they are proud! There should be another class: the self-forgetful men and women who leave the whole thing in the hands of Christ and refuse to waste any time trying to make themselves good. They will reach the goal far ahead of the rest. The truly humble person does not expect to find virtue in himself, and when he finds none he is not disappointed. He knows that any good deed he may do is the result of God’s working within him.
—A.W. Tozer (1897-1963) - Known as the “20th century prophet” his writings and preaching have stirred and brought many to a deeper walk with God.

Father in Heaven, search our hearts today and prepare us for the LORD’s day when we will present ourselves with the saints to worship you and hear your Word.

Psalm 51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O God,
and renew a right spirit within me.

Psalm 25:8 Good and upright is the Lord;
therefore he instructs sinners in the way.

Psalm 34:8 Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good!
Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him!

To my humble supplication,
Lord, give ear and acceptation;
Save Thy servant, that hath none
Help nor hope but Thee alone.

Send, O send, relieving gladness
To my soul oppressed with sadness,
Which, from clog of earth set free,
Winged with zeal, flies up to Thee.

To Thee, rich in mercies’ treasure,
And in goodness without measure,
Never failing help to those
Who on Thy sure help repose.

Heavenly Tutor, of Thy kindness,
Teach my dullness, guide my blindness,
That my steps Thy paths may tread,
Which to endless bliss do lead.

To: bperiwinkle7; All
Thank you, King's Servant, for the Spiritual Banquets you Provide for the Dear Ones of Christ.

I Found Something Wonderful at YouTube as I was Looking through the Christian Music to See what they had. A Young Man Named 'PilgrimtoZion' (I Love that!) was Playing and Singing his Heart Out to our King, and it was a Blessing to See his Devotion to our Lord.

Make My Life A Prayer To You

"Make my life a prayer to you
I want to do what you want me to
No empty words and no white lies
No token prayers no compromise

I want to shine the light you gave
Thru your son you sent to save us
From ourselves and our despair
It comforts me to know you're really there

Well I want thank you now
For being patient with me
Oh it's so hard to see
When my eyes are on me

I guess I'll have to trust
And just believe what you say
That you're coming again
Coming to take me away

I want to die and let you give
Your life to me so I might live
And share the hope you gave me
The love that set me free

I want to tell the world out there
You're not some fable or fairy tale
That I've made up inside my head
You're God the Son and you've risen from the dead

I want to die and let you give
Your life to me so I might live
And share the hope you gave me
The love that set me free." Keith Green

He hath Delivered us from the Power of Darkness,
And hath Translated us into the Kingdom of His Dear Son.
(Col.1:13)
