Here's the lyrics to another song that has been echoing in my soul lately. "Echoing in my soul..." It almost sounds dramatic, but it has been nothing less than reality. It paints the picture of what the Lord has made abundantly clear to me lately, that it is only by His grace that I am saved. I have added nothing to His finished work on the cross - it was sufficient for my salvation.
All He required of me was faith - to believe and trust in the sacrificial love of Jesus, to believe that His blood shed on the cross would pay the debt of all my sin. And by those wounds I have been made right with God - by His wounds I have been healed.
It is only by His doing that I am who I am - a sinner transformed into a saint. Not meaning I am perfect, but that I belong to Him. I am His beloved bride He gave His life for, and in return I have given Him mine. He has proven Himself trustworthy; He withheld nothing in order to purchase my freedom from sin, not even His own life.
It was His life and death that freed me from sin; this song reminds me that it was all because of Him. "We love Him because He first loved us."
(p.s. - this one too sounds much better with music, but the words still speak to me)
Only Your Mercy
Only Your mercy, only Your grace
Only Your Spirit, brings us to faith
O what a wonder that You chose us first
Not by our merit but Your perfect work
Only Your goodness, only Your love
Only Your pardon, poured out in blood
Your righteousnes exchanged for our sin
Oh what a Savior oh what a friend
Jesus we long to worship You
And give You all glory and praise
All that You are
All that You have
We have received by faith

At the Foot of the Cross
Here are the lyrics to a song from high school - it has always stuck in my memory, but I could never remember the lyrics. More than that, I could never find them when I searched for them. I had an inclination, and went searching one last time, and I found them. Here they are... (It sounds better with music, but I still love the words)
At The Foot of the Cross
Beneath the cross of Jesus, Lord, I would spend my days
In the shadow of the One who ransomed me
May I not become familiar with its marvelous good news
But live my life with it always in my view, oh
At the foot of the cross, Lord I bow down and worship
Overcome by so great a love
At the foot of the cross I will cherish all Your mercy
All Your goodness, Your wisdom, Your pow’r
At the foot of the cross.
Upon the cross of Jesus, Lord, I would fix my eyes
For it always will remind me of these truths
My iniquity seems endless yet greater still your grace
And I will glory in the cross throughout the ages, oh
At the foot of the cross, Lord I bow down and worship
Overcome by so great a love
At the foot of the cross I will cherish all Your mercy
All Your goodness, Your wisdom, Your pow’r
At the foot of the cross.
At The Foot of the Cross
Beneath the cross of Jesus, Lord, I would spend my days
In the shadow of the One who ransomed me
May I not become familiar with its marvelous good news
But live my life with it always in my view, oh
At the foot of the cross, Lord I bow down and worship
Overcome by so great a love
At the foot of the cross I will cherish all Your mercy
All Your goodness, Your wisdom, Your pow’r
At the foot of the cross.
Upon the cross of Jesus, Lord, I would fix my eyes
For it always will remind me of these truths
My iniquity seems endless yet greater still your grace
And I will glory in the cross throughout the ages, oh
At the foot of the cross, Lord I bow down and worship
Overcome by so great a love
At the foot of the cross I will cherish all Your mercy
All Your goodness, Your wisdom, Your pow’r
At the foot of the cross.

Psalm 121
Psalm 121
A song of ascents.
1 I lift up my eyes to the hills—
where does my help come from?
2 My help comes from the LORD,
the Maker of heaven and earth.
3 He will not let your foot slip—
he who watches over you will not slumber;
4 indeed, he who watches over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The LORD watches over you—
the LORD is your shade at your right hand;
6 the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.
7 The LORD will keep you from all harm—
he will watch over your life;
8 the LORD will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore.
=====================================================================================
(By the way, I wish I could have heard David and the other psalmists play these songs. Wouldn't that be amazing.)
Just like David confesses in Psalm 124, the author of this song declares the Lord is the source of help. The first line, "I lift my eyes up to the hills," is the physical portrait of the psalmists need. In desperation the psalmist is pondering, wondering, searching the skies as he is searching his own heart. In need of help, where can the psalmist turn?
"My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth." How sure is the psalmist of this help? Listen to this...
"He who keeps you will not slumber. Behold, He who keeps Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep." Nothing occurs to which the Lord is oblivious to. He takes no break from watching over us; he takes no naps and no coffee breaks. He is constantly watching, keeping in tune with out situations.
Again, "The sun shall not strike you by day, Nor the moon by night." All twenty four hours in the day are protected by God. Nothing escapes his view, and nothing is out of his reach. As Isaiah 59:1 "Surely the arm of the LORD is not too short to save, nor his ear too dull to hear." Twenty four hours of the day, we have a God who knows our situations and deepest needs - and His arm is not too short to save. Anything is possible for our God.
Here's a note from the New Spirit Filled Life Bible - "The Hebrew word for keeps (preserves) is used six times in this song, dramatically emphasizing the care of God (see Jude 24)." The translation I posted here uses the word "watches" instead of keeps or preserves. But the point is still made. The Lord is constantly watching out for his people, to keep and preserve them. "The Lord is my shepherd," David writes in the 23rd Psalm. His aim is to protect and preserve.
Lastly, the Lord's eye is on us forever more. "The Lord will watch over your coming and going, both now and forevermore." As the children of God, we have a lifetime, even eternal, shepherd who guards our lives. If only we would lift our eyes up to the hill of the Lord and ask for help, and then it would be given freely! His eye is constantly on us; why don't we simply ask for him to intervene on our behalf. If we thought we needed his help, then surely we would.
A song of ascents.
1 I lift up my eyes to the hills—
where does my help come from?

4 indeed, he who watches over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The LORD watches over you—
the LORD is your shade at your right hand;
6 the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.
7 The LORD will keep you from all harm—
he will watch over your life;

Psalm 124
Psalm 124
A song of ascents. Of David.
1 If the LORD had not been on our side—
let Israel say-
2 if the LORD had not been on our side
when men attacked us,
3 when their anger flared against us,
they would have swallowed us alive;
4 the flood would have engulfed us,
the torrent would have swept over us,
5 the raging waters
would have swept us away.
6 Praise be to the LORD,
who has not let us be torn by their teeth.
7 We have escaped like a bird
out of the fowler's snare;
the snare has been broken,
and we have escaped.
8 Our help is in the name of the LORD,
the Maker of heaven and earth.
=====================================================================================
I love how David begins this song saying, "If the Lord had not been on our side," and then interjects, "let Israel say - if the Lord had not been on our side."
David knew who was fighting for him, but he longed that Israel would know and declare it for themselves. He knew where his help was, but just because he knew it didn't mean Israel knew the fullness of God's protection over them.
David, however, understood just much God involved himself in their lives. When it came to battles, David declares "when men attacked us ... they would have swallowed us alive." The numerous enemies of Israel surely would have destroyed them, but the Lord was on their side. When it comes to dealings with other humans, we prevail because the Lord is on our side. As it says in Romans 8:31, "When, then, shall we say ... If God is for us, who can be against us?"
What about the flood mentioned? My first reaction was circumstances out of our control. But then I remembered the flood, Noah's flood. What was Noah's flood? It was the consequences of sin upon the earth. Because the sins of men had become so great upon the earth, the Lord sent a flood to eradicate sin and mankind. But the Lord in his mercy found Noah, a man of faith, and through his line preserved mankind.
What does this tell me? If the Lord had not been on our side, the consequences of sin would have swept us away. If the Lord had not been on my side, I would still be dead in my sins. But God demonstrated his love for us in this way: while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. While I was in sin, Jesus Christ gave his life that I could be free and made new. The consequence of sin is death, and the Lord gave His life that I could have life, and live in freedom from sin.
The Lord's acts of love towards us are very intentional; it is not by accident. David said, "We have escaped like a bird out of the fowler's snare; the snare has been broken and we have escaped." The snare has been broken. By who? By the Lord. How was this done? "Our help is in the name of the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth." It was by the power of His name that be broke the snare of sin, or any other snare we find ourselves in.
Just to clarify, whose name is it that we call upon to break the snare? The Maker of heaven and earth. It is only by the name of Jesus that we are freed, as it is written, "For by Him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him." (Colossians 1:16) Jesus is the creator, and it is only in his name that we have freedom from sin.
David wrote in another Psalm, "The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth." The truth is that Jesus Christ is the only answer, and Jesus will come to save you if you would only call on him. He will break the snare of sin and the power of sin in your life, if you would only call on His name and believe. Jesus Christ gave up his life as a ransom for the world, and only requires that you call on Him, believe Him, and follow Him. Confess your sins to Jesus, and he will not only forgive you, but restore you. He will make you a new creature; as it is written, "If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! All this is from God, who reconciled us to hismelf through Christ... God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God."
If the Lord had not been on our side, we would not know salvation. But it is freely given to those who believe. Praise the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth!

Some Food For Thought
Galatians 5:6
"For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love."
Galatians 5:13-14
"You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature; rather, serve one another in love. The entire law is summed up in a single command: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'"
Matthew 22:36-40
"Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?" Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."
Philippians 2:3-4
"Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others."

The Obvious Thing To Do
I was going to make a point to stick to discoursing for a bit on grace, as it has taken time for it to start sinking in to both my head and heart. But I came across something along a different topic that I believe is relevant for today.
Many people may not like the current President, feeling his policies and and strategies will do more harm to the country rather than help. Even if that were the case, there is an obvious thing to do...
Pray.
I was reading in Jeremiah, but before I proceed, let me set the stage. Israel is in captivity. And the Lord is planning on keeping them there for a while. False prophets would tell the people, "very soon you will be liberated!" But the Lord told Jeremiah to tell the people the truth; they would be held captive for seventy years. As such, this is what the Lord told the people...
Jeremiah 29:4-7
4 This is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says to all those I carried into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon: 5 "Build houses and settle down; plant gardens and eat what they produce. 6 Marry and have sons and daughters; find wives for your sons and give your daughters in marriage, so that they too may have sons and daughters. Increase in number there; do not decrease. 7 Also, seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile. Pray to the LORD for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper."
Thankfully, I as an American am not finding myself in bondage to another nation; I am still in the most free country that I know of. But if the instruction for slaves and captives is to pray for their city, to pray for God to prosper where they live... how much more so should we do the same, who live in a free nation!
If the Lord prospers Knoxville, we will prosper. If the Lord prospers Tennessee, we will prosper. If the Lord prospers America, we will prosper... Even though I disagree with the policies of the President (certainly a captive would certainly disapprove of the nation holding them...), the obvious thing is to pray the Lord blesses and prospers our land.
The Lord told His people, in essence, "don't worry about the current state of things... keep growing in number. Build houses for yourselves, raise families and look forward to grandchildren. Don't let the current state of things keep you from continuing to increase! Rather realize that if I bless these cities that hold you, I will be blessing you too!" (Justin's Paraphrase)
So what to do about the current state of things... Sheila said it a while back at church... the saints need to be praying for the Lord to bless Knoxville! That is the will of the Lord. And it is also His will to pray for our leaders, which includes the President.
Sheila said it a while back, but I'm now seeing it myself. This is the will of God, to pray the Lord bless the President and our cities... And plus, it really does seem like the obvious thing to do.

My Thoughts Today - Response to Grace
For months now all Pastor Tim has been preaching and teaching is the doctrine of grace. Having heard nothing but that, my thoughts can't help but ponder what grace truly is and what it means in my life. Today, these have been my thoughts.
First, a definition. Grace is an undeserved gift; it is receiving something even though you haven't earned it or deserved it. More specifically, God's grace is His gift of His righteousness, given to us freely through faith in His Son. "God's love is demonstrated in this: while we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
How does one respond to such a gift? That God Himself would give His own life in order to buy our freedom...
To turn back to sin and live there shows this: a lack of appreciation or understanding of the gift given. "It is for freedom that Christ has set us free," not that we could continue to do as we please.
Picture this. Imagine a man in so much debt that he could never work his way out of it. He is without hope, without a job, without any resources... he has nothing in and of himself that could contribute to getting himself out of the hole he's in.
But in spite of this, a rich friend freely gives him enough money to pay his debt, and more so. How should the former debtor live? Surely not in such a way as to squander the extra money or to get into debt again. But the man does anyways... And again, the rich man pays the debt in full, and with extra money. And the debtor goes off and squanders it again... What would this say? That the debtor doesn't appreciate the gift of his friend. Or, that the man doesn't appreciate his friend, only his friend's money.
Do we show the same kind of unthankfulness, by trying to take advantage of grace? That we would continue to try to use the relationship with the Father as a means to enjoy sin more? That makes no sense whatsoever!! What great insult that must be to God when we only want to take advantage of his generosity!
So how then should we live? Thankfully.
Thankful for the life that Jesus Christ gave and the blood He spilt for our sins. Thankful that he paid our debt in full, once and for all! Thankful that we have been set free from sin, and set free to live for God. And thankfulness will not take a generous gift in vain, but with gratitude and love for the one who gave it.
I need to dwell further on the Cross of Christ, on the gift of the Father. To make myself feel guilty for my sins? No. But that I may come to better understand and appreciate all the Father has given me.
It has been in hindsight that I've come to appreciate my parents more and more for all their sacrifices. Here again, I will look back at the gift of Jesus Christ, and do it again, and love the Father even more for it.
