His Desire
Song of Songs 7:10 (NIV) 10 I belong to my beloved, and his desire is for me. Here is the attitude of the believer towards the Lord; we know that His desire is towards us. Many times we see His statutes, commandments and guidelines as barbed wire fences, hemming us in, keeping us from what we “want”. We see a scowl of disapproval, a Judge narrowly looking at us. Perhaps, in a rebellious moment, this may be true; yet His overall attitude is always one of desire. ...
Shadow
The brighter the sun, the more vivid the shadow. Meaning, if there is no cloud or obstruction between an object and the sun, the shadow is crisp and vivid. The sun is Christ, and we are the object.

God outside of time This morning I woke up a 4:45AM. When I wake that early, I consider it a time to pray or meditate. As I prayed I thought of God being outside of time. Time has no influence on Him. As I prayed for a particular situation I realized that to God, that situation is in the present. Or is that situation in the past, present and future? None! For all those moments are a point in time; which is inconsequential to God since He is outside of time. C.S. Lewis presents a picture where God is like a piece of paper, and a short line drawn on that paper is time. The idea is God “sees” all of time at once. Even that wonderful illustration is restricted by our concept of time being linear. We are bound by time. Comprehending something, anything not bound by time is in itself incomprehensible and inconceivable. ...
