4/23/07

Dear Father God,

When I realize the gap between my desire to obey Thee and the actual obeying, I shudder. I admit I fear the cost to great. This is not good. I do want to go on to succeed for Thee, to please Thee now and for all eternity. Lord, please do be my Shepherd that I shall not want, but have Thy everlasting blessing.

I pray now for N____ and C____, that they also find favor and be brought under Thy wing, and into Thy eternal blessed presence, and this T. S. and all his family, and all the S_____ and B______ family members.

Lord Jesus, for your church, especially for that which lives, but is near death, let your gentle voice be heard and heeded as you call for repentance and holiness from all your people.

May the world of men know that Thou art the LORD of heaven and earth unto Whom all power is given. May the rulers of this earth be humbled to both do good, and punish evil doers. May your enemies be brought to humiliation and then to love and faith in Thee.

I need to know more of Thy specific desire for what I shall do, for the deeds Thou hast planned for my life. Please bring me to fulleness of love for Thee, obedience to Thee, Thy Word, and Thy will. Amen

About Me

Vanity, vanity, all is vanity, thus saith the preacher. Ecclesiastes Ch. 1 Verse 1. But what is vanity? A table and mirror one sits at to put on their makeup? The thoughts of the narcissist? As one who loves words and their meanings I searched out the meaning of vanity. I think it's impossible to understand the book of Ecclesiastes without knowing the meaning of that word. It's found 57 times in the Old Testament and three times in the New Testament (in the American Standard Version). Among the synonyms I found in bible lexicons and dictionaries: Worthless Futility Emptiness Fruitlessness https://webstersdictionary1828.com/Dictionary/vanity https://www.merriam-webster.com/thesaurus/vanity But the two words that mean the most to me are inutility and brokenness. The word inutility is new to me. It means unusable, useless. If it is inutile it is because it is broken.
