You are Sacred, oh Lord. When I am with You, the ground beneath my feet becomes holy. My life becomes more than just the sum of accomplishing my desires. My life, because of You, becomes sacred. If I were to be martyred like many before me, even my death would be sacred. I wouldn’t just come to the end of my days like a bird and fall to the earth as do the leaves of a tree. If even my death would give You glory, may my lips be girded with praise to my last breath. Why waste time with anything else? I am sacred because You are sacred.  2 Timothy 3:14-17
 
369-258-147, You complete all of me. You are my 7. There isn’t any aspect of me You don’t know. My family, friends, or even enemies have no understanding, no knowledge, of what You have done within me. I myself have no clue of the depth You have reached within me to bring salvation to my door. “Who am I?” is a question left for mockers but all must ask. “Who are You?” is the question that answers all others. The Mystery who revealed Himself, Maker and Fulfiller of Space and Time, the One who knows me, You have done all to make me fit where I don’t belong but was made for. Revelation 3:1
 
You are the Good Shepherd who cares for His flock. You lead us beside quiet waters to restore us. You know the wolves hunt us. You know they spend all their energy tracking us down. They fill our nights with terror. We may sleep with one eye open, but our focus is on You. When it is time to run, You do not lead us into a trap. You show us the better path. You deliver us and scatter the wolves. It is their turn to run. There are no quiet waters to restore them, for You did not lead them there. At the right time, the wolves had thought they had killed You leaving Your flock unprotected. But then You rose again, Lord Jesus, and filled Your sheep with power. Who has ever seen a sheep in armor wielding a sword?  Psalm 23
 
You are my Shield, my protection from attack. Whether it be from friend or foe, You block their attempts and protect me from harm. Though many attacks seemed to have gotten through, I’ve found You do not protect my pride, my vanity, my selfish gain. You let those attacks strike true for I must leave all such things behind. Your shield over me teaches me what is worth protecting. In this way, I gain from the attacks I’ve suffered, for it prunes me. It helps rid me of that which You will not bless. You are my Shield, and as such- the crucible of attack and protect fashions me according to Your will.  Ephesians 6:10-18
 
This life is hard, like a raging sea, but You are the Ship that travels me through each day. Though I have lost much over the years to these waves, You’ve kept me on board. You alone know how many times I’ve wished for everything to just stop. The loss is too great. I thought I had made it to where I belonged, to where You wanted me- such a mighty castle in the sand, then the tide came and washed it all away. “I can’t do what I used to do, but I’m holding on to You,” is my banner now. You keep going and pressing me onward. To where? Wherever it is, the sea may take it, but You will keep moving me onward.  Acts 27:22
 
In Your Word, You are described as a Stone- whether capstone or cornerstone and truly You are such a Stone to me. You are the keystone for this life setting us up for the one to come. All without You crumbles and falls, for all things fail here. They all return to the dust from which they were made. You are also like the stone that fell the giant. Against impossible odds, by the hand of Your servant David, a stone slew that which many feared and were about to be destroyed by. You are akin to that stone, for like it, You have defeated sin and its destroying power over me. You slew that giant setting free all who were doomed to die and You give eternal life to all who believe. 1 Peter 2:4-10
 
In a post-scientific age, when we’ve answered enough questions to realize answers aren’t enough; when we’ve finally dug deep enough to awaken the Balrog and find that the data says whatever we want it to say; when we see the answers have always been lust and greed, those bottomless twins that devour our time and energy; when we’ve conquered all we can with the tools we’ve created; when ‘meaningless’ becomes our only and just reward; it is then that we meet the hunger that has always been. It is then that what is awakened is ever more than the Balrog. You, oh Lord, are our desire, for You walk in ways we’ve always known and distractions only have power if they can keep our attention, but we are eternal people. They were never able to keep us. We see past the facade to where You dwell, for You are Supernatural.  Acts 1:8

7 Words that Describe God- ‘R’:

Relentless
Remarkable
Requiem
Rescue
Rhyme
Rhythm
Righteous

I would say this world’s ability to constantly demean and devalue is unbelievably constant, relentless even. Yours is the only voice that builds us up. As we turn to You all of the self-righteous candor is silent, the pompous proclamations pruned. We speak and act in ways that make us matter against the onslaught from others. But You, Your goodness is what is the source of the world’s angst. You are Relentless in Your love for us. So constant, so dependable, what else is the world to do but think of new ways to hate us or make us hate ourselves? It is because of You and Your Relentless love that their attacks continue. Regardless, I would not walk away from Your downpour to stand in their doomed sunshine.  Psalm 23:6

You are Remarkable, oh Lord. Your heights, no one can climb. Your depths, no one can fathom. Your thoughts, no one can understand. Your flame, no one can extinguish. Your light, no one can dim. Your peace, no one can disrupt. Your love, no one can escape. Your joy, no one can steal. Your hope, no one can disappoint. Your kindness, no one can refuse. Your grace, no one deserves. Your favor is my desire. Your pruning is my daily need. Your voice, I long to hear. Your wisdom is my prayer. Your presence is my comfort. Your strength is my salvation. Your goodness is my shield. Your faithfulness is my hope. Your truth is what binds me. Your holiness is my fear. Your glory is my light.  You are Remarkable, my Lord.  Psalm 34:8

You are my Requiem- my trading of lesser things for that which is greater, a dirge of my selfish ways. For I am to die to self to gain that which I can only receive from You. Though I’ve known You since my youth, to follow You is a daily decision. I am marked by You and seen by others with a cross on my back and a song on my lips. To sing of the dead, to use my breath of life to sing of what I have left behind is my joy. Every step I take with You is a verse, a phrase. May You be my Requiem and my Hallelujah. Hebrews 4:10

You are my Rescue, my Lord. When the waves of this life toss me to and fro, I look to You and am saved. The strength You give has led many through incredibly difficult times. Mass graves hold those who looked to You and were rescued beyond the reach of those who put them there. You have the final say, not the oppressors, not the storm. A storm does not rescue, a wave does not save. Only You bring peace, only You are stability. Rocks can not deliver no matter how deep we dig, only You can. Mountains will crumble, but You remain, and Your Word stands forever. Thank You for rescuing me from myself.  2 Samuel 22

You are my Rhythm, my common time. I want to keep pace with You, my Lord. I want to be in step with You though the world is against You, though the mockers do what they’ve been given and mock. Gossipers spread their jaded message to the undiscerning. Slanderers jump in and try to steal Your beat misleading all who follow them. They try to make foolish those who walk Your paths. They belittle their faith for it is not as compromised as theirs. Beware the drummers that march to their own beat. It looks right, they say the right words, but they are wolves in sheep’s clothing. They lead far from Your perfect Rhythm. Amos 3:3

You are my perfect Rhyme. You line me up and further my meaning from a simple phrase to revelation. With You, I can see beyond the stars. My thoughts are unbound and unlimited as I consider eternity amidst the temporal. Because You are with me, I can scale the loftiest thought. Because You are near, I can traverse through the deepest depth. My rhyme becomes blessed with You as my meaning. I am not left with awkward words that contain only death with You as my muse. No, with You as my Rhyme I have Life! Psalm 18

Lord, You are the Righteous One. Without Your absolute righteousness, how does anything stand? The very order of the universe depends on it. Morality would not exist without it. Discernment would only rest on social, historical and cultural relativism. You, the dweller and maker of Wisdom’s house, would only be a location of personal conviction instead of the flagship of reform. What is the need for accountability if You are not Righteous? How can we make straight Your way if You are crooked? Because of You, I know what is right, just, and fair. Proverbs 2:9-11

7 Words that describe God- ‘P’:
 
Paddle
Path
Peace
Power
Preamp
Preeminent
Provider
 
With You, I’m never upstream without one. You provide me direction and by Your guidance, I can steer around any obstacle. Should I have gone the wrong way, I can turn around and repent. After my time with You, I see how far I’ve come and I’m not dismayed. Constantly abiding with You creates in me a clean heart, not one that is the product of this place. You enable me to keep moving beyond the pitfall, beyond the trap, to destinations that bless and strengthen my soul. I need You. If I am a boat, You are my Paddle, my Anchor, my Sail.  Isaiah 43:19
 
There are so many paths to be taken in this life, but Yours is the one I want to follow. Some people claim to be following You, but when you walk with them, you witness that the path they tread leads somewhere else entirely. You warn them, but they do not listen. You go as far as you can with them, then the hurt that their path causes becomes too great. Your call, oh Lord, echoes across the land, but they do not hear it. Your Path does not dance. Your Path holds its course. We who follow become shaped by it. We are to submit ourselves to Your direction. Lead on my Lord, lead on.  Psalm 25
 
You are my Peace. You cannot be shaken. You cannot be lost. Shame and regret attempt to toss the boat. They try to drown You out. The winds of my mistakes are mighty, the effects of my disobedience are astounding, but Your peace pursues me beyond their reach. They don’t love me and their strength fails to convict. But You do love me. The peace You give is not founded on favorable circumstance- here today, gone tomorrow. Your peace is founded on You, and Your favor is eternal. Your peace outlasts the storm, whenever it comes. Because of You, I will not be shaken. Philippians 4:6-7
 
You are very great, oh God, in glory and Power and majesty amen. We always have limits to how we understand You. To what should we compare with Your unmatchable power? Lightning? Earthquakes? Volcanoes? Babies? All of these are trifles when compared to You. Light and darkness hold a key, but here light loses its strength. Darkness merely waits for the inevitable and then overwhelms what comfort was had. With You, the Eternal One, there is no fade. You do not lose strength. Your power knows no limits as You move when and where You want. Psalm 71:18
 
You take my signal, my voice, and amplify it to accomplish Your will, Your purpose for me. My voice is too weak, hardly a whisper. You lift me out of the pit of self-destruction and place me on the heights. When I seek to boost my own signal, I end up with horrible feedback and damage listening ears. You balance my voice with others and make us into a choir singing in harmony for Your glory. With You, we are one sound, unified and strong. The enemy puts damaged chords among us. They weaken our signal, but You, my faithful Preamp, take us in stride as we are and make it enough.  2 Chronicles 5:13
 
You surpass all others, mighty God. There is no one equal to You, not even close. Yet somehow our desires ring louder. Somehow it makes more sense for us to obey our will over Yours. How do we rise above our mortal bounds? In our foolishness, it is by our existence we claim our authority to be greater. “Because I exist, I can” is ever and always less than Your preexisting state of “I am”. You are Preeminent, oh Lord. You were here before the world began, before time was born, and You will be after all is ended.  Colossians 1:15-20
 
You are my Provider, my Lord. You take care of my every need for You know them before I do. Not only for me but for my entire household. You set me to overflow that I may, in turn, help others. You are good to me, my Lord. I look to You and am not cast out nor forgotten. I am very needy and exhaust myself with my many requests, but You are so patient with me. In Your wisdom, You hold back that which I am not ready for. Blessings would turn to curses if not received in due season. Only You know when that time is. You are my Provider. May I live in constant thankfulness.  Genesis 22:13-14
