You turn my sleepless nights to the most precious times to me. For the time alone with you, I see your glory by your words. You show me Lord. I come to know you even more than I know…or could know…you show me. God, you show me your timeless movement in this world. And you let us know you have a plan and you alone are in control.
I know I am safe in your peace when I think on your grace. For by you I know your love will take care of me – you have told me. And by my hand you walk me each and every day, as I come to you, you are always there. And you let me see. Thank you dear God.
In read II Corinthians 4:18 “fix our eyes on things unseen…they are eternal” (not on things seen). You let me see the unseen dear God. Only you can reveal to me. I pray you forever let me see. God shows His work to us in ways others see and do, to show of His care. God’s love is planted to help as servants to those in need. As in the “Mercy Ship” of Christian medical staff to Africa, who perform surgeries to correct the life and looks, of ones who are afflicted with facial tumors and deformities. Who live in caves of darkness for others not to see them. Who have no hope in that darkness, they only carry shame. The Mercy Ship gives medical care needed so God can show His grace, to give them life in the light of His work. God’s work through those who care, ones He has chosen and moved to live for His work. May we praise your work dear God. Praise your shine in the eyes and hearts aglow, of not only those healed, but those serving you. (Isaiah 49:9-13 “…to them that are in darkness, show yourselves…these come from far…from the north and from the west” “…Sing…and be joyful, O earth…for the Lord hath comforted His people and will have mercy upon the afflicted.”) You let us see dear God.
And see Isaiah 50:3 “I clothe the heavens with blackness and I make sackcloth their covering,” and see 50:4 “morning by morning…He waketh my ear to hear as the learned.” Each day – day-by-day, is how we are to come to Him. And even in darkness and sackcloth – there we may find your path to glory in heaven. Where the hurt dwell and the sorrows torment – there, as we’re covered in this world’s sackcloth, you show us where to turn. Day by day, “morning by morning”, we may “hear as the learned”. Only by you Lord. And your words show us, by things too painful to remember, you bring to light. That is your glory dear God. You let us see.
As I read in the Old Testament and try to understand, as you let me see, it means exactly what it says. In all simplicity God spills His words in abundance. They pour excitement and peace to our soul. As you let us see – may our eyes open and ears understand. May you let us see dear Lord. I see the Old Testament refers us to the New. So I can see as told to us, then it be. God shows us.
Even before Christ, God knew and told to show us of His hope and plan in glory. In His glory for eternity we may be. God shows us in His word…forever in His word. For His word will last forever. We thank you Lord therefrom you show and let us see “morning by morning”.
