devotion

so at work this morning, a hillsong song rang anew in my heart.  lyrics that spoke my thoughts, as though i wrote them myself...

i search for You God of strength, i bow to You in my brokenness
and no other King could have so humbly come
to save my soul and heal my heart
i have nothing more than all You offer me, 

there is nothing else that’s of worth to me
and i love You Lord, You rescued me
You are all that i want, You’re all that i need
i pray to You God of peace, i rest in You my cares released...

in Your freedom I will live, in Your freedom I will live

i offer devotion, i offer devotion...

devotion.  what is it?  a noun or a verb?  a thing or a lifestyle? 

what does it feel like to me?  what does it look like to others?

and what does it do to God?  i'll bet my life it pleases Him.

maybe that's it...

 

enjoflectful

it's been a wonderful day.  basking in the enjoyment and reflection of our 30th wedding anniversary celebration yesterday, and being surrounded by so many people that God has given us to journey this road of life with.  basking in the enjoyment and reflection of leading worship this morning at a gathering of believers, alongside both those God has brought into my life to "band" with (except for rob who was ill) and 3 of "our" children who love Him and worship Him with their lives too.  and basking in the enjoyment and reflection of both witnessing a little child being dedicated to God by his parents and communing with bread and cup during the Lord's Supper this morning.  feeling "the current" has held me in it's sway for the last several months!  is there such a word as "enjoflectful?"  well there should be.  because it describes totally what's going on in my spirit... enjoying.  reflecting.  thankful.
