A Little Space: Attitude of Gratitude

http://theprovidenceofgod.blogspot.com/2013/05/attitude-of-gratitude.html

Wednesday, May 29, 2013. I wish Thy way ,. But when in me myself would rise'. And long for something otherwise,. Then, Holy One, take sword and spear,. Lord all my little well made plans. Have turned to vapor dust,. To give them to You,. And, in fact, I must! But I want what I want, and I want it my. I want to finagle one more thing,. Try it one more way,. Do my own planning. I'm never defeated, Ok? But I want what I want, and I want it my. Help me to give all to you on this day,. Help me to want what You.

Wednesday, February 27, 2013. Bitter and Sweet.". Saturday, February 23, 2013. Within Thine House, a Sabbath Prayer.". Jesus, where'er thy people meet,. There they behold thy mercy-seat;. Where'er they seek Thee Thou art found,. And ev'ry place is hallow'd ground. For thou, within no walls confin'd,. Inhabitest the humble mind;. Such ever bring Thee, where they come,. And going, take Thee to their home. Dear Shepherd of Thy chosen few! Thy former mercies here renew;. Here, to our waiting hearts, proclaim.

A Little Space: Beau-Tea [Part 1]

http://theprovidenceofgod.blogspot.com/2013/07/beau-tea-part-1.html

Monday, July 8, 2013. We all wish we had it,. Try to get it,. We have of it,. It has been redefined over and over throughout the centuries and across continents. I still chuckle a little at the chieftains Mary Slessor worked with in Calabar, Africa who fattened their wives to make them beautiful. Why do we laugh? It's not our culture. American culture tells us skinny is much more desirable than fat. And we believe it. Am I truly beautiful after all of that? Or even "Is it ok to want to be beautiful?

A Little Space: Imitation

http://theprovidenceofgod.blogspot.com/2013/06/imitation.html

Tuesday, June 25, 2013. There was a quote in my inbox today from Oswald Chambers, a man whose journal was compiled into the devotional 'My Utmost for His Highest.'. 8220;I was doing Christian work and winning souls for Christ, but I had no conscious communion with Him. The Bible was the dullest, most uninteresting book in existence. I knew that if what I had was all the Christianity there was, the whole thing was a fraud.”. So I sat down to take a good look. Am I a " Hi how are you? Fine how are you?

A Little Space: Prayer

http://theprovidenceofgod.blogspot.com/2013/06/prayer.html

Wednesday, June 19, 2013. There is no power like that of prevailing prayer – of Abraham pleading for. Sodom, Jacob wrestling in the stillness of the night, Moses standing in the. Breach, Hannah intoxicated with sorrow, David heartbroken with remorse. And grief, Jesus in sweat of blood. Such prayer prevails. It turns ordinary. Mortals into men of power. It brings power. It brings fire. It brings rain. It brings life. It brings God. Prayer in its highest form of faith is that prayer which carries the whole.

A Little Space: Flame of God, [Guest post]

http://theprovidenceofgod.blogspot.com/2013/05/flame-of-god-guest-post.html

Saturday, May 25, 2013. Flame of God, [Guest post]. From prayer that asks that I may be. Sheltered from winds that beat on Thee,. From fearing when I should aspire,. From faltering when I should climb higher,. From silken self, O Captain, free. Thy soldier who would follow Thee. From subtle love of softening things,. From easy choices, weakenings,. Not thus are spirits fortified,. Not this way went the Crucified,). From all that dims Thy Calvary,. O Lamb of God, deliver me. Let me not sink to be a clod:.

A Little Space: Hear My Cry

http://theprovidenceofgod.blogspot.com/2013/07/hear-my-cry.html

Monday, July 1, 2013. Oh righteous and holy Sovereign, in whose hand is my life and whose are all my ways,. Keep me from fluttering about religion. Fix me firm in it for I am wavering; my decisions are smoke and vapor, and I do not glorify You or behave according to Your will. Do not cut me off before my thoughts grow to be responses, for You are forbearing and good, patient and kind. Oh Father of my spirit, King of my life, do not cast me into destruction or drive me from your presence, but wound my hea...

A Little Space: Hast Thou No Scar? [Guest post]

http://theprovidenceofgod.blogspot.com/2013/06/hast-thou-no-scar-guest-post.html

Sunday, June 2, 2013. Hast Thou No Scar? Hast thou no scar? No hidden scar on foot, or side, or hand? I hear thee sung as mighty in the land,. I hear them hail thy bright ascendant star:. Hast thou no scar? Hast thou no wound? Yet, I was wounded by the archers, spent. Leaned me against the tree to die, and rent. By ravening beasts that compassed me, I swooned:. Hast thou no wound? Yes, as the master shall the servant be,. And pierced are the feet that follow Me;. Who has no wound? Hast thou no scar?

A Little Space: August 2013

http://theprovidenceofgod.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html

Wednesday, August 28, 2013. No friendship will abide the test,. That stands on sordid interest,. Or mean self-love erected;. Nor such as may awhile subsist. And in friendship to swift enlist. For vicious ends connected. Who seek a friend should come dispos’d. To exhibit, in full bloom disclos’d,. The graces and the beauties. That form the character he seeks,. For ‘tis a union that bespeaks. But will sincerity suffice? It is indeed above all price,. And must be made the basis;. But every virtue of the soul.
