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,
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

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.
