Simple Beauty

 

Tethered Soul Musings

Every detail of every day has a purpose.  All of creation has but one purpose.  In all honesty, all of humanity has but one purpose.  I have only one purpose.  All of creation was made for the sole purpose of bringing honor and glory to God.

Tethered Soul Musings

Not just any god.  The God.  The Creator of the universe.  The Author of life.  The Alpha. The Omega.  The lord of Lords.  The king of Kings.  Yahweh.

Many claim all roads lead to eternity.  Others affirm every religion serves the same god, only different in name.  Some say our eternities are only secured through our actions, we must earn our salvation.

Tethered Soul Musings

I know that I know there is one God under heaven.  I know that I know my God is three in one.  I know that I know my salvation is secured in the sacrificial blood of Jesus Christ.  I know that I know I serve a living God, who was crucified and then raised from the tomb three days later.  I know that I know I am a sinner, saved by grace. I know that I know there is nothing in my power to earn my salvation.  I know that I know I am forgiven.  Tethered Soul Musings

Jesus Christ died once, for all.  For you.  For me.  He conquered death so I might live.  So that you may have eternal life.

Tethered Soul Musings

All of creation makes this proclamation every day. With every sunrise.  With every drop of rain.  With every grain harvested.  With every changing color of autumn leaves.  With every new life given.  Our lives are surrounded by God’s creation shouting out honor and praise to the One High King.  If only I would make that daily public proclamation.

Tethered Soul Musings

Lord, grant me the strength to proclaim your glory and to bring honor to your name. Through joy.  Every trial.  All circumstances.

Tethered Soul Musings

“The heavens declare the glory of God;
    the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
Day after day they pour forth speech;
    night after night they reveal knowledge.
They have no speech, they use no words;
    no sound is heard from them.
Yet their voice[b] goes out into all the earth,
    their words to the ends of the world.
In the heavens God has pitched a tent for the sun.
    It is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber,
    like a champion rejoicing to run his course.
It rises at one end of the heavens
    and makes its circuit to the other;
    nothing is deprived of its warmth.

The law of the Lord is perfect,
    refreshing the soul.
The statutes of the Lord are trustworthy,
    making wise the simple.
The precepts of the Lord are right,
    giving joy to the heart.
The commands of the Lord are radiant,
    giving light to the eyes.
The fear of the Lord is pure,
    enduring forever.
The decrees of the Lord are firm,
    and all of them are righteous.

10 They are more precious than gold,
    than much pure gold;
they are sweeter than honey,
    than honey from the honeycomb.
11 By them your servant is warned;
    in keeping them there is great reward.
12 But who can discern their own errors?
    Forgive my hidden faults.
13 Keep your servant also from willful sins;
    may they not rule over me.
Then I will be blameless,
    innocent of great transgression.

14 May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart
    be pleasing in your sight,
    Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.”

Psalm 19
