Touch my heart when you least expect it.

God can find ways to re-ignite a persons heart and soul. God knowing that one of my oldest loves has been baseball, touched me last night during the homerun derby. Watching a guy named Josh Hamilton repeatedly hammering balls into the New York night. A place where fans are not very warm towards outsiders, Hamilton captured their approval with the mighty stroke of a bat and the proud acknowledgement of his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. If you are not aware of this young man you can look him up and read his story on wikipedia. Just want to say thank you to the Lord for using Josh to open my eyes again and providing a strong spark. Josh keep fighting the good fight, you are an inspiration for us all and may God continue to bless you.

With Christ by my side,

Charles

Prayer:

O Precious Father, I know my heart can be deceitful. At times I can even fool myself. But when I kneel in your presence and am convicted by your Word, I find myself reminded of the areas I have not yet fully submitted to your control and Jesus' lordship. Please, dear Father, use the Holy Spirit to gently show and convict of my self-deception so that I may be wholly lost in your will. Through Jesus, Lord of lords, I pray. Amen.

Jesus is Lord! God's plan was purposed in Christ. It centered on Christ coming at the right time. God's plan was to bring unity in Christ by making him Lord of all! What's more, this plan that brings our salvation brings God great pleasure. God is the only saving God and Jesus is both our Savior and Lord. So the real issue we face today is this: What area of our lives, our hearts, our secrets, our sin, our rebellion, have we not submitted to his lordship?
