Day 145

Isaiah 53:5-6
    But he was wounded for our transgressions;
   he was crushed for our iniquities;
upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace,

   we have turned—every one—to his own way;
 and the LORD has laid on him
   the iniquity of us all.

yet we esteemed him stricken,
   smitten by God, and afflicted.

Ephesians 2:1-5
     And you were dead in the trespasses and sins in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience— among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind. But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ— by grace you have been saved

I truly am amazed at God's love, grace and mercy for me a sinner who is so undeserving!

Day 130

Psalm 23
   
The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
  He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
  he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
   for his name’s sake.
 Even though I walk
   through the darkest valley,
I will fear no evil,
   for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
   they comfort me.
  You prepare a table before me
   in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
   my cup overflows.
 Surely your goodness and love will follow me
   all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
   forever.

    For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness, and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love.

John Waller - Calling For a Flood

Flood every corner of this room
Flood all my emptiness with You
Lord, I long to be consumed
And I’m calling for a flood       

So flood every chamber of my heart
Flood what I lack with all You are
I am dry and I am parched
And calling for a flood

I am calling for a flood
Holy Spirit flow
Completely immerse me in You
I’m longing for a flood
Of holiness to wash me now
Hear me, Lord; I’m calling for a flood

Now flood every portal of my mind
And flood everything I’ve tried to hide
I am looking to the sky
And I’m calling for a flood

Submerge me, Lord, in holy water
Drown me to live in You

Flood every corner of this room
And fill all the emptiness with You
Lord, we long to be consumed
And we’re calling for a flood

We are calling for a flood
Holy Spirit flow
Completely immerse us in You
We’re longing for a flood
Of holiness to wash us now
Hear us, Lord; we’re calling for a flood

Holiness, holiness
So flood this place with holiness
You are holy, Lord immerse us in Your

Holiness, holiness
So flood this place with holiness
You are holy

Hear us, Lord, we’re calling for a flood
We’re calling for a flood
Hear us, Lord, we’re calling for a flood

Day 116

Ecclesiastes 3:1-11
    For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die;a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal;a time to break down, and a time to build up; a time to weep, and a time to laugh;a time to mourn, and a time to dance; a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together;a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; a time to seek, and a time to lose;a time to keep, and a time to cast away; a time to tear, and a time to sew;a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; a time to love, and a time to hate;a time for war, and a time for peace.
    What gain has the worker from his toil? I have seen the business that God has given to the children of man to be busy with. He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, he has put eternity into man’s heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end.
