Adoration

Early In the Morning
Lord it is early
The day is just started
Praise to the Maker for this day.
Praise Him no matter what happens in it.

Scripture Reflection Luke 4
33-34In the meeting place that day there was a man demonically disturbed. He screamed, "Ho! What business do you have here with us, Jesus? Nazarene! I know what you're up to. You're the Holy One of God and you've come to destroy us!"

Jesus a part of your mission was to attack evil and to destroy the power of Satan. Strongholds fell as you did you work. Demons died and were thrown back in the abyss where they belonged.

35Jesus shut him up: "Quiet! Get out of him!" The demonic spirit threw the man down in front of them all and left. The demon didn't hurt him.
You would not allow praise from those who were controlled by Satan. Praise must be freely given or it is meaningless. Praise that is not authentic you will ultimately quiet.

Jesus work in my heart that praise my be the first thing that comes to mind. Praise for the day, praise for protection, a petition quickly voiced to use whatever the situation is to your honor and glory.

36-37That set everyone back on their heels, whispering and wondering, "What's going on here? Someone whose words make things happen? Someone who orders demonic spirits to get out and they go?" Jesus was the talk of the town.

Jesus your power was clear to all you saw you speak. The same power that pushed creation into existence, spoke the command and the demons departed.

Lord Jesus you have power to change and to free the captive. You can speak and the world is changed...you can speak and people are freed.

Where are the places where I need to be set free? Where are the places where I need the word of power spoken to me? Where are those places in me where I limit what you can do in my life? Where are the places where I need to open myself to you direction.

In this day Lord speak the words of power. Jesus let me be open to all that you would do in my heart and life.

Adoration
Praise Starts the Day
Praise the One who died
Praise the One who lives
Praise the Son who sets us free
Scripture Reflection:Luke 4

31-32He went down to Capernaum, a village in Galilee. He was teaching the people on the Sabbath. They were surprised and impressed—his teaching was so forthright, so confident, so authoritative, not the quibbling and quoting they were used to.

Jesus you don't quibble. There is authority that is a part of who you are. Some times I want to make you less than you are...just a friend, or just a luck rabbits foot, or sometime just a tune that I whistle in a dark place to make me feel better.

So of all of that is true.You are there with me in the dark and you are my friend...you are my savior.

But beyond that...included in that you are Lord of Creation, Messiah, God with us, you are the changer of my life. I stand in awe of who you are. You continue to transform me into what you would have me to be. The people in Capernaum knew just by the sound of your voice that you were not just a regular teacher, but that you spoke with the power of a maker, a shaper, a molder of what is to what can be. I want the maker, the shaper, the molder to make, and shape and mold me.

Lord help me to hear not just my friend speaking to me...help me to remember that...my Lord speaks...my Lord seeks...the same Lord that spoke creation into existence is willing to speak to me. I am listening today Lord for you call, for your command, for you companionship.
