My wife, Martie, is a great cook. After a long day I often look forward to the smell of spicy aromas that promise a tasty feast. Not only does she know how to prepare a meal, but she is also a master at the presentation. The colors of the food on the plate, beautifully arranged in a harmony of meat, white puffy rice, and vegetables welcome me to pull up my chair and enjoy her handiwork. But the food was not so attractive before she got her hands on it. The meat was raw and squishy, the rice was hard and brittle, and the vegetables needed to be scrubbed and trimmed.
It reminds me of the gracious work Jesus has done for me. I am well aware of my frailty and propensity to sin. I know that in and of myself I am not presentable to God. Yet when Im saved, Jesus makes me a new creation (2 Cor. 5:17). He takes me just as I am and makes me just as I should beholy, and blameless, and above reproach (Col. 1:22). He presents me to our Father as a thing of beauty worthy to be in His presence.
May His transforming work on our behalf stimulate us to live up to the presentation and to be humbly grateful to Christ for His finishing work in our lives!
Good evening, Gentlemen....
Connie has guests just in and probably won’t be able to be here tonight.
Gosh. I’m feeling lonely.
It's Tunes For Our Troops Time!
How about a “lonely” tune. I’m betting lots of folks are entertaining or being entertained.
I’m still at work. d:o)
