One Awesome God

 

From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets, 

the name of the LORD is to be praised.

Psalm 113:3

What a hallelujah hymn the heavens played this morning!!

"And so, once more Mercy’s compassion spills and fills the sky 

And holds back Heaven’s legions for the sake of you and I "

Today's Daily Bread Devotion,

The Triumph of Forgiveness

inspired today's poem with this line;

"There’s One whose arms are open wide to receive us 

when we acknowledge our wrongs and seek His forgiveness. "

There's One whose arms are open wide to welcome seekers in 

Where forgiveness is not denied when we confess our sin 

Where redemption and mercy meld in love’s atoning claim 

And salvation is not withheld from all who trust His name 

There's One who cannot bear quite yet, to seal Time’s Day of Grace 

And rend the veil twixt here and There when all will see His face 

For God so loved the world that He gave His Beloved Son 

To pay sin’s gruesome penalty for each and everyone 

There's One whose perfect will it is that none should be cast out 

When faith beholds the promises that many scorn and doubt 

And so, once more Mercy’s compassion spills and fills the sky 

And holds back Heaven’s legions for the sake of you and I

1 Tim.2:1-6

I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession 

and thanksgiving be made for all people— 

2for kings and all those in authority, 

that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.

 3This is good, and pleases God our Savior,

 4who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.

 5For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, 

the man Christ Jesus,

 6who gave himself as a ransom for all people.
