No drunken or unconscious perspective of power that this man never had. Solely made by grace and the kindness of God and the people he leads to come alongside this ship sometimes holding on until dawn. That is a freedom, not owned but speaking the words of Wisdom and worship that others refrain from sharing. When we morning arise to the splendor and the Sounds of Freedom we may rejoice without regret and look boldly to the stars.

This is not promise of forgotten mirth. Being pottery I cannot claim ownership of pot nor content. Molded for purposes that I never could as a man hope to achieve. No if any of this is to be completed it must be a thing of the Divine Hand of God upon a handful of dust with Sovereign Breath breathed into it. Thank you Lord for reminding me repeatedly of the joy that comes in the knowledge of my making and purpose. Nothing from nothing is certainly nothing.

But we behold the galaxy streaming overhead. A parade in the majesty of God that some men stare upon nightly yet still discern nothing nor claim to behold the evidence of Almighty. To look upon miracles and the awesome power that created and then fail in acknowledgement is perhaps greatest failure in the machinery of mankind. It is not simply how we can fail to account for creative brilliance but the power that made all by a word is not to be forgotten. Trembling just in the knowledge of His existence pales in comparison to imagining being in His Presence.

Do I want to know Him without blessing? Certainly not. Do I want to strive against Him when He knows all my strength folly? Do I want to find a way around His perfect Will for the man that He made? No There is truly nothing for me without Him, not even the primary source of life. To think myself large when I am truly insignificant is a sad tale of a man who cannot see the dimension, the concrete, the light and weight of God’s sovereign control confronting him in the mirror.

I will not be that man. I am sorry for being that man even for brief ridiculous moments. This pursuit of Godliness is my greatest venture and realizing that it is also God’s Will for the man He made aligns me with His brilliance in realization. To see someone not only worthy of following but the Only source of reason, compassion and sanctification is a delight and a privilege to ascertain. This is not just duty of soldier faithful but the allegiance born of debt beyond the scope of payment and the knowledge that I didn’t have to worry as My Father had already set into motion the greatest gift a man may receive, deliverance were there was only the permanence of punishment in eternal separation.

Rocked permanently sober by choice and in recognition of Godhood. A being so powerful and loving that He allows me, sandals free to rest in His awesome presence, Then shows me protection, provision, purpose and promises of transformation beyond this chaotic, pitiful man without purpose struggling to conquer everything in sight to earn some self-significance. There is a place to which I am attending. A man if that is what we are called when we leave this mortal outfitting. A day where I am no longer led by my own paltry, simplicity and struggle that allows me to compete for the Divine aspirations of God in Peace and in a name of Power.

I will be that man by the Grace of God Almighty. Lord let me slip loose of the surly bonds of self-image into immortality. Not to be known as God or even in equivalence, but to be accepted into a relationship that has always here been beyond my reach, a Son, a Servant a Friend and Family to the King.
