Today, if you hear his voice,

   blood I have not avenged,

Day 286

 Starting to re-read and study through the book of Revelation. Really love this book and the imagery that I get from it. I seriously get chills from it!

Revelation 1:17-18
     When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. But he laid his right hand on me, saying, "Fear not, I am the first and the last, and the living one. I died, and behold I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of Death and Hades.

Day 285

James 3:6-12
    And the tongue is a fire, a world of unrighteousness. The tongue is set among our members, staining the whole body, setting on fire the entire course of life, and set on fire by hell. For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and sea creature, can be tamed and has been tamed by mankind, but no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison. With it we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse people who are made in the likeness of God. From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so. Does a spring pour forth from the same opening both fresh and salt water? Can a fig tree, my brothers, bear olives, or a grapevine produce figs? Neither can a salt pond yield fresh water.

Philippians 1:21
    For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

2 Corinthians 7:1
    Since we have these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from every defilement of body and spirit, bringing holiness to completion in the fear of God.

Day 281

Had this song on repeat this evening, one of my favorites by John Mark McMillan. Getting lost in worship while focusing on God's truly amazing love for us who are so undeserving. Thank you Lord for Your grace and mercy and Your unfailing love!

John Mark McMillan - How He Loves

Lyrics:

He is jealous for me
Loves like a hurricane
I am a tree
Bending beneath
The weight of his wind and mercy
When all of a sudden
I am unaware of these
Afflictions eclipsed by glory
And I realize how beautiful you are
And how great your afflictions for me

Oh how he loves us so
Oh how he loves us
How he loves us so

Yea He loves us
Oh how

We are his portion
And he is our prize
Drawn to redemption by the grace in his eyes
If grace is an ocean we're all sinking
So heaven meats earth like a sloppy wet kiss
And my heart burns violently inside of my chest
I don't have time to maintain these regrets
When I think about the way
He loves us

Oh how he loves us so
Oh how he loves us
How he loves us so

Day 267

Been loving this song by Keith Green today.

Keith Green - Rushing Wind

Lyrics:

Rushing wind, blow through this temple,

Blowing out the dust within;

Come and breathe your breath upon me:

I've been born again.


Holy Spirit, I surrender; take me where you want to go.

Plant me by your living water,

Plant me deep so I can grow.


Jesus, you’re the one who sets my spirit free;

Use me, Lord; glorify your Holy Name through me.


Separate me from this world, Lord;

Sanctify my life for you.

Daily change me to your image,

Help me bear good fruit.


Ev'ry day you're drawing closer;

Trials come to test my faith.

But when all is said and done, Lord,

You know it's been worth the wait.


Jesus, you’re the one who set my spirit free;

Use me, Lord; glorify your Holy Name through me.


Rushing wind, blow through this temple,

Blowing out the dust within;

Come and breathe your breath upon me,

For I've been born again.
