Enthralled with God

The human heart was made to be enthralled with God. God made the human being to be able to taste the joy He experiences in fellowship with Himself. As a redeemed sinner the frustrating thing is that the gaze of my soul is often preoccupied with me or some other created thing. The problem is that this is very boring and horribly unsatisfying to the soul that was created to be filled by the eternal glory of God. I need help! ...we need help.

As believers in Jesus Christ we are called to live somewhere that is not our home. Home is where our souls are in a constant state of complete enthrallment with God, simply put, heaven. This is paradise as it was meant to be, but this is not where we live now. Right now we are called to live in a sin sick world where we are constantly being tempted away from God. If we sit around doing nothing, the gaze of our hearts will be fixed on us. If we try to fight on our own human strength we will be overrun by our flesh the world and the devil. However, God loves to give good gifts to His children. Ask God, plead with Him to help you take your eyes off of yourself and fix them on Him, if it is His will you will taste the joy of basking in God's glory.

For the glory of God

Nothing Else WIll Do

Hello all! Sorry it has been so long; these last few weeks have been crazy. The plan is for me to put up a new post every Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday.

Tonight I would like to post some lyrics to a song I am working on. Feedback is encouraged and helpful! I will try to get a recording up soon.

Nothing Else Will Do:

With everything in me I've got to fight this lie

Sin against God will never satisfy

I need You Jesus Christ

Come keep me from running back to chains

Sin no longer masters me Your grace reigns

Jesus come fill my life

Chorus

Because nearness is joy

And pleasure forevermore

This world will never satisfy

I was made to worship you

And that is life

Nothing else will do!

You made me to enjoy you

My pleasure and Your glory forever glued

You were faithful, but I didn't stay true

Separation from the joy of Your glory

Was the punishment for all my deeds

And your wrath was poured out, but not on me

Jesus came and stood in my place

Releasing the torrents of Your grace

Bringing me spotless into the holiest place

Through Your pain my soul is satisfied

In Your presence, I'm alive

You were rejected and I am reconciled

Three days later sin felt defeat

As its head was crushed under Jesus' feet

The grave is empty, and we are free

Hallelujah death has lost its sting

God's made a way for man to be redeemed

And satisfied as He receives glory

For the glory of God
