There He is- constant in His brightness,
reminds me of His
righteousness,
His nobility and
holiness,
God.
Seated on the highest throne
Seated on the highest throne
chose to disregard
His own,
to make Himself
the lowest, to the dirtiest, to the darkest,
like wading
through sewage- that's not becoming of a king,
of royalty,
to roll His pants
to his knees and wade into humanity,
to do what's
necessary
to address what's
wrong with me- wait,
stop.
Please pause. Zoom
in and freeze.
Let's pierce that
perspective straight through:
It is too
individualistic of a view
if you're only
concerned with what needs to be healed inside of you,
your mind's
attention, self-focused- you need an interception
because your focus
is on you.
He is more than capable,
of completing the work He started,
so stand up, be faithful, with all of the gifts and talents,
all of the dreams and callings that He has imparted.
He came from the
place of abundant life,
where there was
nothing to resist His groove to thrive
and he brought
that higher living, higher thinking, higher existing,
down to dirty
sewage humanity.
And He sacrificed
His comfort, to legally enable you and me,
to walk in more
than victory,
more than mental
stability, or sanity or peace of mind.
More than breaking our defective habits to try to live life.
They’re a waste of time.
Wasting time, wasting a life bought at the highest price.
If your focus is
on you,
you won't even
live a half-life.
You'll die without
knowing, day in and day out
true life.
So stop it.
Focus on the Giver
of Life.
For ten seconds, lay
your mental processes down,
the crown of your own intellect.
I wouldn't tell
you if I cared nothing for you
but I'm not about
my own business.
I'm not about my
own healing, own encouragement, own enlightenment,
like I used to be-
at the moment, I’m not focused on me.
I’m focused on the King.
I’m focused on the kingdom.
And right now it is meeting you face to face.
So let's practice
what we preach
and focus on the
King:
You, my Faithful
Friend,
have all
the enlightenment and inspiration
all the songs and
words and paintings,
in Your heart, for
You are creator.
So we will not
worship the products of our hands,
or own minds, our
intellect,
by pouring all of
our emotion, adoration, and hope on them.
But instead we
turn and focus,
against the
current, there's resistance,
we will ourselves
to gaze on You.
Just You, for You
are Jesus.
Lord, please meet
us, show us the reasons
why You are worthy
of our focus.
