This Life I Live
© Michael Morrow 2009
This life I live is not my own
For my Redeemer paid the price
He took it to be his alone
To be his treasure and his prize
The things of earth I leave behind
To live in worship of my King
His is the right to rule my life
Mine is the joy to live for him
I died to sin upon the cross
I'm bound to Jesus in his death
The old is gone and now I must
Rely on him for every breath
With every footstep that I tread
What mysteries he has in store
I cannot know what lies ahead
But know that he has gone before
There is a voice that pierced the grave
A power that rolled the stone away
A sound of life, I know I'm saved
The voice of God has called my name
So I will rise, and in the air
Behold the glory of the King
I will not fear to meet him there
I know my life is hid with him
What an awesome summary of what it means to live for the King!
This life I lead is not my own...to be his treasure and his prize...His is the right to rule my life...
..Behold the glory of the King...

Numbers
It is a great time to be reading Numbers. Probably for the first time I am enjoying reading God's law. It becomes interesting when you pull things apart, draw diagrams, see how it all fits and how detailed things were accounted for.
Mind exploding stuff.
The picture coming out so far is God is not chaotic and he is very holy. VERY HOLY.
The massive contrast is that we are very unholy and unclean.
That there is great cost, life of animals, lengths and things to do (sacrifices etc.) to become clean before God. And even then those sacrifices only made the Israelites clean temporarily.
It shows how much Christ has done to made us clean, a people purified for himself. Now that we have been made righteous through his blood on the cross and his life, we are now holy before God!
That's love, that's the ultimate sacrifice!

The Little Mermaid
Imagine getting married at 16. Arial, a princess mermaid becomes human and marries a human prince at 16.
Today in Australia you'd be in year 11, or year 10 (eastern states), probably just getting your Ls trying to learn to drive. I wonder at what age it was then that you could drive a horse and cart on public roads...
