It's about You Lord, not about me. 3

Isaiah 40:21 Do you not know? Do you not hear? Has it not been told you from the beginning? Have you not understood from the foundations of the earth? Somehow my Lord and God, by Your creative Word at the beginning of time You placed in man the knowledge of You. And we are truly empty without You filling that void that You placed in us right at the beginning of creation. Oh Lord, man chooses, by default, to fill that eternal hole in his soul with temporary creations instead of You, the Eternal One, which he was created for. Romans 1:20 For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. Please fill our hearts with You instead of temporary created things.

It's about You Lord, not about me. 2

Psalm 102:25 Of old you laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands. Dear Father please forgive us for thinking that we know all things when it was You who of old,(beginning of time) laid the foundation of the earth. My only question is where is the foundation that You laid for the earth? On most buildings that man makes you can see the foundation, but we can't see the foundation of the earth. And the heavens are the work of your hands. So the foundation must be Your hands that we can not see. Blessed be Your Holy Hands that are able to do such awesome deeds. I love You Lord.

It's about You Lord, not about me. 1

Dear Heavenly Father, this life is about You, not about me.
Genesis 1:1 In the beginning, In the beginning is talking about the beginning of time, not the beginning of You. You, O Lord, were eternally forever before there was a created thing called time. Lord God, time started when the very first creation came out of Your mouth. Time and creation seem to be the opposite sides of the same coin. You can't have a creation without the beginning,(time), or time without a creation. And neither time or creation exist without You speaking them into existence. Thank You Lord that You are the cause of the beginning of created time.

The Lord Fleet Admiral knows what He is doing.

Lord Jesus, please forgive me for not trusting You. Things are going good right now and I'm waiting for the hammer to drop, because this captain doesn't deserve things to be good. My first mate and crew are doing so much better since my first mate and I are getting on the same page with You. Some how the hammer that I deserve was dropped on You at the cross( blessed be Your Holy Name) which blows my mind. Some how, the real battle is not getting things right with my first mate and crew. The real battle is believing You, that nothing can separate me from Your unconquerable love. As I'm believing this things get better on our ship because that seems to be the natural consequences of believing You. Lord Jesus Please cause our hearts to grow more and more in You, Amen

Admiral of the Discipleship Fleet

Lord Jesus, Thank You for the first mate that You have assigned to my ship. She is one really good looooooken first mate. Thank You for the abilities You have blessed her with. Lord Jesus, if You had not handed her these abilities this ship would have been laying down next to the Titanic at the bottom of the ocean. Thank You for the seven crew members under her. You have obviously blessed this crew with the first mates good looks. Lord Admiral of the Discipleship Fleet thank You for making me the captain of this ship and giving me this awesome crew. Please direct and use our ship in Your Discipleship Fleet.

Discipleship is hard!

Lord Jesus,
Thank You for the hard things You bring us through and thank You for weening us off the world and sin. You said to count the cost of following You, I think that sometimes we don't really count the cost. Like I told my wife yesterday, she is worth it to go through pain and suffering for! Lord Jesus, You on an infinitely greater scale are worth it. I just need my eyes opened again to this awesome truth. Please forgive my blindness and open my eyes once again to Your beauty!!!!

Discipleship

Lord Jesus, right now all I know is that my family and my self need discipleship on how to be a family. I can imagine being on a ship going through some big storms with a crew that has not been trained on how to run or even act on a ship. I can also imagine being on a ship that goes through the same storms on a ship that has been through some discipleship training on how to run a ship and how to act on a ship in such storms. Lord Jesus, please show my family and my self how to run this ship called the Heath family, Amen

Thank You Lord.

Lord Jesus I don't know where things are going but I know that You are in charge of today and the future. Please help me and my family to stay focused on You and Your sovereign reign over every thing. Matthew 6:25-34 "Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on, Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? Therefore do not be anxious, saying,"What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear? For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. "Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

Lost in a cloud.

Some days I feel so sure of myself, know where I'm going and know where I'm at. Other days, like today and recently many days like today, I just don't know where I am at or where I am going.

Bye Bye.

Today the Lord and I got rid of a lot of old music that reminds me of my not so bright past at the suggestion of a very close friend, my wife. When Jesus first touched my heart in 1992 the desire for very dark music fell off of me. Since then, like the fool that I can be I have revisited my past by downloading a lot of that music on to our computer. It changes me when I listen to this music. Getting rid of it this time feels like I'm saying goodbye to an old sick friend who will never ever get better. Its never easy to say goodbye but here it goes------goodbye old friends. Here is a vidieo that I like
