Adoration

My Savior My God


I am not skilled to understand
What God has willed, what God has planned
I only know at His right hand
Stands one who is my Savior

I take Him at His word and deed
Christ died to save me; this I read
And in my heart I find a need
Of Him to be my savior

That He would leave His place on high
And come for sinful man to die
You count it strange, so once did I
Before I knew my Savior

My Savior loves, My Savior lives
My Savior's always there for me
My God: He was, my God; He is
My God is always gonna be

Yes, living, dying, let me bring
My strength, my solace from this spring;
That He who lives to be my King
Once died to be my Savior

That He would leave His place on high
And come for sinful man to die
You count it strange, so once did I
Before I knew my Savior

My Savior loves, My Savior lives
My Savior loves, My Savior lives

Scripture Reflection: Luke 21:5-6

My trust is where?

5Some of his disciples were remarking about how the temple was adorned with beautiful stones and with gifts dedicated to God. But Jesus said, 6"As for what you see here, the time will come when not one stone will be left on another; every one of them will be thrown down."

The temple was one of those places that the nation bled for. It was the focus point of the religious life of the nation. It was something that they at times had trusted in..."We have the temple the Lord can not let Jerusalem fall ." That was the thought and at times before the Captivity explicitly stated.

Lord Jesus the external things that I put my trust in, just are not strong enough to hold me in the times when the foundations shake and the world goes off its axis. What do I really trust in when life goes out of focus? I trust in Your word, I trust in Your work in my life, I trust that You will bring times of blessing when I will know without a doubt your presence.

I dare not trust in buildings or in money or power. They can all be gone in a moment. I will not trust in organizations that have been my spiritual home. I will trust in you Lord. Stones are built into buildings and then fall and fail. But there is truth and trust that endures...

Yes, living, dying, let me bring

My strength, my solace from this spring;

That He who lives to be my King

Once died to be my Savior

Lord Jesus in this day, I will called to trust in you again for the moments needs, be there in each moment reminding me that your grace is enough and is more than enough for what comes in this day.
