No Fear, Just Faith

 Scripture:

“But when Jesus heard what had happened, he said to Jairus, “Don’t be afraid. Just have faith, and she will be healed.”” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭8‬:‭50‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Observation:

Jairus had come to Jesus to have his daughter healed. On the way to his home, his servants brought him the message that his daughter was dead. Immediately, Jesus told him, “Don’t be afraid. Just have faith, and she will be healed.” Jesus then went to his home and raised her from the dead. 

Application:

When we have troubles come into our lives, people of faith respond by saying, “I’m not going to be afraid, I’m going to have faith, and I will see the answer to my prayer.” When bad news comes, we must learn to respond in faith. We must increase our faith level and believe God to take care of the details.

Prayer:

Father, You are amazing and I worship You this morning. Help me to always respond in faith when faced with difficult things. Teach me not to fear, but to believe Your word above whatever evidence I see around me to the contrary. I want to live by faith and trust You at deeper levels. I am Yours.

Your Son,

Jeff

Treat Others How Christ Treats Us

 Scripture:

““Do not judge others, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn others, or it will all come back against you. Forgive others, and you will be forgiven.”  ‭‭Luke‬ ‭6‬:‭37‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Observation:

These are powerful words by Jesus. He tells us not to judge, not to condemn, and to forgive. The results if we do any of these things is that the same thing will come back to us. It is the idea of sowing and reaping. You are gonna get back what you invest in. 

Application:

As followers of Jesus, we are to walk as He described. We should be the last people to judge anyone, because we God could easily judge us. We should be the last to condemn others because we should be condemned, but Jesus chooses not to condemn us. We should be the last people to not forgive someone because we have been forgiven so much by Him. As Jesus has treated us, He wants us to treat others. 

Prayer:

Lord God Almighty, You have been good to me. Help me to to be good to others. Help me to live a life that represents You well. Teach me to follow Your ways and to live according to how You want me to live. Show me more how to represent You well in my generation.

Your Son,

Jeff

Trust and Obey

Scripture:

“Be assured that I will send my blessing for you in the sixth year, so the land will produce a crop large enough for three years. When you plant your fields in the eighth year, you will still be eating from the large crop of the sixth year. In fact, you will still be eating from that large crop when the new crop is harvested in the ninth year.” ‭‭Leviticus‬ ‭25‬:‭21‬-‭22‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Observation:

God speaks in this passage, about the Sabbath year of rest and then the year of Jubilee as it concerns their harvests. They were told to work the field for six years then let it rest for year seven. On Jubilee years, they actually had to let the land rest 2 years. God promised HIs people that if they honored Him, He would give them such an abundant harvest on the sixth year that they would still be eating it when harvest starts on the ninth year. 

Application:

When you do things God’s ways, you get God results. God is able to multiply what You put in His hands and trust Him with. It takes faith for a farmer to not plant for two years in a row. It has the potential to destroy the entire economy of Israel and their food supply, but when you walk with God in obedience, He will supply. We must learn to obey God, when it makes sense to us and when it doesn’t. Trust and obey, there is no other way, the the results are supernatural.

Prayer:

Father, I want to live a life of faith. Help me to trust You and obey You when I don’t se the provision in front of me. Help me to live by faith and not my sight. Teach me to do Your will and to hear Your voice so I can respond correctly. Show me the way forward and I will walk. 

Your Son,

Jeff

Take Care of the Poor

 Scripture:

““When you harvest the crops of your land, do not harvest the grain along the edges of your fields, and do not pick up what the harvesters drop. Leave it for the poor and the foreigners living among you. I am the Lord your God.””  ‭‭Leviticus‬ ‭23‬:‭22‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Observation:

In this passage, one can see the heart of God for the poor and the foreigner. He tells the people of Israel, who are His special people, that they were to not harvest along the edges of the fields nor pick up the harvest they drop, but to leave it for the poor and the foreigners living in Israel. This was a beautiful way of providing for the poor and also taught God’s people of His love for all people and not just them.

Application:

God always takes care of the poor. Even in His law, He made sure the poor and foreigner were taken care of. He wants His people to make sure everyone has food to eat and be provided for. In the church world today, we should be strong about taking care of the poor and needy in our society. It is on God’s heart and it should be on our hearts.

Prayer:

Father, help me to not turn a blind eye to the poor and needy. Help me to operate as you operate. Teach me to love what You love and hate what You hate. Help me to care of who You love and despise the thing You hate. I am Yours all the days of my life. Help me to live in a way that pleases You completely. I want to work as one with You.

Yours Forever,

Jeff

Slow Results

 Scripture:

“In the fourth year the entire crop must be consecrated to the Lord as a celebration of praise. Finally, in the fifth year you may eat the fruit. If you follow this pattern, your harvest will increase. I am the Lord your God.” Leviticus‬ ‭19‬:‭25‬ -26 NLT‬

Observation:

God speaks here about planting fruit trees. He tells His people that they can’t eat anything from them in the first three years, then the fourth year they need to give the entire fruit product to the Lord as a celebration of praise, then finally in the fifth year, they can eat the fruit. God told them if they follow this order, their produce will increase. 

Application:

It’s hard to wait three years for anything, especially today. Then, when it finally is ready to produce pretty well, God asks for the entire harvest. The blessing is that, after four years, the produce will be greater, and will last for many many years to come. If we are faithful in the little things, when there seems to be no produce in our hands, God remembers and multiplies. There are times in life when we will put seed in the ground, then wait and wait for the harvest. Eventually, the harvest will come in because God is the Lord of the harvest.

Prayer:

Father, help me not to give up before the harvest season. I know I tend to want quick harvests Lord, but I ask You to help me do the right thing. I want to offer You my firstfruits, even when I have waited for a harvest for a long time. Help me to serve You well father. Teach me patience after the planting.

Yours Forever,

Jeff

Atonement

 Scripture:

“As the goat goes into the wilderness, it will carry all the people’s sins upon itself into a desolate land.”Leviticus‬ ‭16‬:‭22‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Observation:

God gave a prescription for sacrificing and atoning for sin. On the day of atonement, once per year, the priest would sacrifice for the sins of the people. He would take two goats before the Lord. One goat would be sacrificed for the sins of the people. The priest would take the other goat and lay hands on it, transferring the sins of Israel onto it, it would then be led into the wilderness and released.

Application:

God went to great detail about eliminating sin from Israel. He eventually sent His Son to be the perfect sacrifice for sin, once and forever. Our sin was transferred onto Him and he was sacrificed. Our sin was sent into the wilderness of forgetfulness, never to be seen again. When God forgives us, He really forgives us. Jesus blood was more than enough. The price has been paid for our forgiveness, we must learn to forgive ourselves.

Prayer:

Lord God Almighty, You are holy and true. You are righteous and just. You are excellent in all Your ways. Thank You for providing atonement for my sins. Thank You for sending Christ to be sacrificed for my sins. You have freed me from the power of sin and death and I want to say thank You. Help me now to live above sin and the ways of this world. Empower me to live a life that brings You honor.

Yours Forever,

Jeff

God’s Heart for the Poor

 Scripture:

““Then the priest will offer the two turtledoves or the two young pigeons, whichever the person can afford.”  ‭‭Leviticus‬ ‭14‬:‭30‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Observation:

The offerings people must bring for cleansing from skin disease, or other things, start with larger animals, but then get down to two turtledoves or two young pigeons. Basically, God is saying, nobody is too poor to be purified. He went out of His way to make sure everyone could be clean.

Application:

Jesus went to the cross for our salvation. He paid the ultimate price for us. When we look around us, we can never reject someone simply because they are poor. We must always find a way to bring them to a level playing field. God made a way for them to bring sacrifices, we must also let them know that they can have the same access to God as anyone else. God doesn’t look at the wealth of a person when He works. His playing field is always level.

Prayer:

Father, let me see the poor as You see them. Help me to never reject people because of the their apparent worth. All are made in your image. Help me to treat everyone the same as I serve inYour kingdom. Teach me how to love everyone equally. 

Yours,

Jeff

Holiness

 Scripture:

“For I, the Lord, am the one who brought you up from the land of Egypt, that I might be your God. Therefore, you must be holy because I am holy.”  ‭‭Leviticus‬ ‭11‬:‭45‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Observation:

In this portion of Scripture, God is laying out how to be holy and remain purified. He speaks about what people can touch, what defiles them, and what they are allowed to eat. He reminds them that He is the God who brought them up out of the land of Egypt, “that I might be your God.” Because of that, He wanted them to be holy because He is holy.

Application:

Holiness for us on this side of the cross is entirely through Christ. He is my righteousness. He is my purity. He pleases the Father. Christ will empower us to live holy lives, but we must cooperate with Him and let Him lead us. God still desires a people that belong to Him and who He can be their God. May our lives be set apart for God. He is worthy of my devotion and my life.

Prayer:

Father, set me apart and are me holy because You are holy. Help me to follow after You and let my life be pleasing to You and Your kingdom. I want to serve You well and for You to be my God. I put my whole trust in Christ and what he did for me. Let my life be set apart for Your purposes.

Your Son,

Jeff

The Glory and Fire of God’s Presence

 Scripture:

“Then Moses and Aaron went into the Tabernacle, and when they came back out, they blessed the people again, and the glory of the Lord appeared to the whole community. Fire blazed forth from the Lord’s presence and consumed the burnt offering and the fat on the altar. When the people saw this, they shouted with joy and fell face down on the ground.” ‭‭Leviticus‬ ‭9‬:‭23‬-‭24‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Observation:

Moses and Aaron had just sacrificed  a huge number of animals to purify and dedicate the Tabernacle. They did everything, exactly as the Lord had told them to do. When they went into the Tabernacle after presenting all the offerings, the glory and fire of God fell and the people shouted with joy and fell facedown on the ground.

Application:

When God really touches a person and reveals Himself to them, there are generally two reactions. One is to shout and dance in celebration. The other is to fall facedown in worship before the mighty presence of God. It is a strange combination of celebration, yet fear and awe of who God is. When the real power of God comes into a place, there will be reactions of the people. We are not to be impressed with the reactions, but with the awesomeness of God.

Prayer:

Lord God Almighty, than You for pouring out Your Spirit recently in the United States. Thank You for drawing people to seek You and to humble themselves before You. I long for Your presence. I want to see You move again strongly in the US. You are all-powerful! You are incredible and I worship You. Come and meet us at Word of Life this morning. Let Your glory and fire fill the room. We desire Your presence. Help us to align with You and Your will in this.

Yours Forever,

Jeff

Through Them

 Scripture:

“And the disciples went everywhere and preached, and the Lord worked through them, confirming what they said by many miraculous signs.” ‭‭Mark‬ ‭16‬:‭20‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Observation:

I love that when Jesus ascended, His “disciples went everywhere and preached, and the Lord worked THROUGH them, confirming what they said by many miraculous signs.” Jesus never stopped working, He just transitioned to working through His people instead of as one person. 

Application:

We are to do the works that Jesus did. He said we would do greater works than what He did because He was going to the Father. We should not be satisfied with a boring Christian life. God hasn’t changed. He still wants to work through people and His anointing and empowering hasn’t changed. We just need to believe He is in us and we can do what He did. 

Prayer:

Father, help me to walk in step with You and to accomplish Your mission on the earth. I want to work together to accomplish all You want. Your Kingdom come and Your will be done in my life, in my family, in my church, and in my region.

Your Son,

Jeff

God’s Point of View

 Scripture:

“Jesus turned around and looked at his disciples, then reprimanded Peter. “Get away from me, Satan!” he said. “You are seeing things merely from a human point of view, not from God’s.””  ‭‭Mark‬ ‭8‬:‭33‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Observation:

When Jesus began to tell His disciples that He was going to Jerusalem and was going to die on a cross, Peter reprimanded the Lord saying it would never happen because he would never let it happen. Jesus turned to Peter and said, “Get away from me, Satan! You are seeing things merely from a human point of view and not from God’s.”

Application:

We must seek, as believers, what God’s point of view is. We are good at knowing what we want in life and  determining our vision and mission, but we must see things from God’s point of view. When things happen in the world around us, we must look, not with our own eyes, but from God’s perspective. Rather than seeing just what we can see, we must seek to see everything from God’s point of view, which is generally radically different than our own.

Prayer:

Father, I want to operate with Your perspective. I long to see what You see when I look at the world around me. Help me to not be limited by what I think needs to happen in any given situation, but to press into You and see Your perspective. Help me to live by faith and not by sight. 

Yours Forever,

Jeff

Recognized by Hell

 Scripture:

“And whenever those possessed by evil spirits caught sight of him, the spirits would throw them to the ground in front of him shrieking, “You are the Son of God!””  ‭‭Mark‬ ‭3‬:‭11‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Observation:

The people didn’t always recognize Jesus as the Messiah, the Son of God, but evil spirits recognized Him every time. When the spirits would just catch sight of Jesus, they would be thrown to the ground and start shrieking that He was the Son of God. Religious Pharisees didn’t recognize Jesus, but hell did. 

Application:

Maybe, rather than making our name known in the church, we should be more like Christ and be known in  hell by the evil spirits. I want to live a life that makes demons shudder and scream out when they are in my presence. Christ, who this happened to, resides in me by the Holy Spirit, therefore hell should recognize me. I long to be one and operate as one with Jesus. I want to live like He lived and do what He did. I want to walk in step with Him and for Him to operate through me on this earth.

Prayer:

Lord, You are awesome and I worship You! I want to operate as one with You. I long for Your presence and Your touch. When I speak, let it be Your words. When I touch, let it be Your hands. When I respond, let it be how You would respond. I want hell to recognize Jesus in my life like they recognized Jesus when He walked the earth. Fill me to overflowing and let me represent You well.

Yours Forever,

Jeff

Just as the Lord Had Commanded Moses

 Scripture:

“Whenever they approached the altar and entered the Tabernacle, they washed themselves, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.”  ‭‭Exodus‬ ‭40‬:‭32‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Observation:

In this chapter and the prior chapter, there is one phrase repeated over and over and over. In every part of the building of the Tabernacle, the dedication of the priests, and everything that happened concerning the Tabernacle, it says over and over, “Just as the Lord had commanded Moses.” Every detail was done, “Just as the Lord had commanded Moses.”

Application:

The first application is that God has a way that He likes things done and He is very specific about it. The second application is that Moses heard the word of the Lord extremely clearly and with great accuracy. They spoke as friend with friend. For me, I long to know God’s will at all times and to hear His voice because I want to do things, “just as He commanded Jeff.” I long to follow the Lord’s path and not my own, but I must hear it in order to follow it.

Prayer:

Once again this morning Father, I cry out to You, Speak to me clearly and let me hear Your voice. Show me every step tTo take and every move to make. Show me the words I must speak and how to speak them. I want to serve You according to Your plans and purposes and not my own. Show me the way and I will follow. Teach me to hear clearly.

Your Son,

Jeff

Extravagance

 Scripture:

“The people brought special offerings of gold totaling 2,193 pounds, as measured by the weight of the sanctuary shekel. This gold was used throughout the Tabernacle.”  ‭‭Exodus‬ ‭38‬:‭24‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Observation:

God spared no expense when having the people of Israel build a portable Tabernacle where He could meet with Moses. Just in gold, this is equivalent to $66,246,144 in gold at today’s gold prices. That doesn’t include the silver and the bronze that the people brought for the building of the Tabernacle. Reading through these chapters this morning, I came to realize the incredible detail, precision, and expense of putting this thing together, as a portable worship place.

Application:

It seems nowadays, that we give God the cheapest things we can give Him and call it being frugal or “wise” with His money. When we are installing equipment in our church, we always look for the cheapest solution instead of the best solution. Finances govern our decision making rather than doing things with absolute excellence for our Lord. Sometimes God may want us to go extravagant in our worship and devotion to Him. A couple years ago we did “He is worthy of our very best” as out annual theme. Maybe we didn’t take it far enough. 

Prayer:

Father, help me to walk the balance of giving You the best of the best and being a wise financial steward of God’s money. As a pastor, help me to know where to spend and not compromise. I want to stand before You and hear, “well done good and faithful servant”. I want to do exactly what You want me to do. Help me to give You my very best and yet walk in wisdom. Give our church property so we can build a place for You.

Your Son,

Jeff

God’s Self Description

 Scripture:

“The Lord passed in front of Moses, calling out, “Yahweh! The Lord! The God of compassion and mercy! I am slow to anger and filled with unfailing love and faithfulness.” ‭‭Exodus‬ ‭34‬:‭6‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Observation:

At this point in the Scriptures, Moses had met with God on Mount Sinai for the second time. It says here that the Lord passed in front of Moses and gave His self-description. He said, “Yahweh! The Lord! The God of compassion and mercy! I am slow to anger and filled with unfailing love and faithfulness.” God described Himself in this passage as full of compassion and mercy. Slow to anger and filled with unfailing love and faithfulness. 

Application:

Our goal should be to take on the attributes of God Almighty. In order to do so, we should learn to be full of compassion, mercy, unfailing love and faithfulness, and slow to anger. If we are to reflect God in his glory, we must live according to His ways. Love and faithfulness should flow like a river from us. Compassion and mercy should be our second nature. While working on the fun stuff of faith, healing, power, deliverance, etc. we need to remain focused on these attributes that God describes Himself with.

Prayer:

Lord, make me more like You. Let my life be filled with compassion and mercy. Teach me to be slow to anger and filled with unfailing love and faithfulness. Help me to live as You live and walk as You walk. Teach me to represent You well in my generation. Let Your self-description be the description others see in my life. 

Your Son,

Jeff

Pleasing God or People?

 Scripture:

“Aaron saw how excited the people were, so he built an altar in front of the calf. Then he announced, “Tomorrow will be a festival to the Lord!”” ‭‭Exodus‬ ‭32‬:‭5‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Observation:

Moses had gone up the mountain to meet with the Lord and receive the Ten Commandments. When he came down, he saw that Aaron had made an image of a golden calf. After Aaron made the calf, he “saw how excited the people were, so he built and altar in front of the calf. He then called the people to a festival for the Lord.  Aaron saw how excited the people were, and he went wrong. 

Application:

We can’t simply look at what makes people happy and excited when we lead them. We must please God first, then deal with mankind as the Lord wants. Sometimes keeping people happy and excited is what pastors try to do. It feels good when everyone is excited about what’s going on. What pleased the people did not please God. We must please God first, then deal with the people. We can’t build churches for God that are there to please people and make them happy. We must build ministries that honor God first and foremost. 

Prayer:

Father, I want to build You what You desire. Help me not to look to current trends about how to make people happy with church. Help me not to lead people where they want to go, but where. You want them to go. Help me to. Have You as the priority over the. People’s desires.

Yours Truly,

Jeff

Sanctified by His Presence

 Scripture:

“I will meet the people of Israel there, in the place made holy by my glorious presence.” ‭‭Exodus‬ ‭29‬:‭43‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Observation:

In this passage, God was describing how to make the priests garments, the Tabernacle where God would meet with the priests, etc. Everything was to be made pure and holy. It was to be sanctified and set apart for God’s purposes. In this one passage, it says that God will meet the people of Israel there, in the place made holy by His glorious presence. Above every other thing, His presence is what makes holy.

Application:

God’s presence has a sanctifying work in our lives. We are set apart and esteemed holy, not by our actions, but by His presence. When God touches something, it becomes holy. I personally long for the touch of God on my life. I long for His presence. I am convinced that people who are struggling with sanctification, need to spend time in His presence, where He can purify them. I want my life to be about His presence more than His procedures.

Prayer:

Father, I want Your presence in my life. I long for Your touch on my life. I want You to be glorified and for Your presence to draw people to holiness. Meet me, change me, mold me into Your image and teach me to follow Your ways. You are the only one worthy to follow. I love You and trust You Lord. Let Your presence be felt and discerned any time I speak on Your behalf. I want to work together with You at greater levels of unity.

Yours Forever,

Jeff

Angelic Protection and Guidance

 Scripture:

““See, I am sending an angel before you to protect you on your journey and lead you safely to the place I have prepared for you.”  ‭‭Exodus‬ ‭23‬:‭20‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Observation:

God told Moses here that He was sending an angel before Israel as they were going to the Promised land. He said this angel would protect them on their journey and lead them safely to the place God had prepared for them. God sent an angel to guide them to His will and the place He had prepared for His people.

Application:

God still uses angels to get His people safely to their destiny in Him. He will use whatever is necessary to bring about His will, and He has lots of firepower at His disposal. We can trust, that God will give us whatever we need to get us where He wants us to be. As we follow Him and His will for our lives, we must rely on Him and not ourselves for our direction, protection, and guidance.

Prayer:

Father, I trust You with my life. You are worthy of me following You completely and trusting You with all my heart. Lead me. Guide me. Direct my life and take me to Your destiny for me. I will do my best to follow Your plans for me and I will answer yes to whatever You ask of me. I want to serve You well.

Yours,

Jeff

A Kingdom of Priests

 Scripture:

“Now if you will obey me and keep my covenant, you will be my own special treasure from among all the peoples on earth; for all the earth belongs to me. And you will be my kingdom of priests, my holy nation.’ This is the message you must give to the people of Israel.””  ‭‭Exodus‬ ‭19‬:‭5‬-‭6‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Observation:

As Moses was ready to go up Mt Sinai to meet with the Lord, God spoke to him and told him to communicate with the people. He told Moses to tell the people that if they would obey God and keep His covenant, they would be His own special treasure, and they would be a kingdom of priests, a holy nation. This has always been the heart of God.

Application:

God has always desired a people who are set apart for Him. He has always looked for a people who would be completely His and that He could make a kingdom of priests. He wants to walk with us and talk with us, but He needs us to live according to His ways and His desires. When we do, we will become a kingdom of priests who reflect the glory of the Lord. Our job is to keep covenant with God. His job is to make us His people.

Prayer:

Father, i want to be a covenant keeper. I want to walk in fellowship with You on a daily basis. I want to live as a priest, in constant communion with You. You are my heart and my desire. I long to serve You well and to know You more and more intimately. You are my everything. Let my life bring Your glory and honor. Help me to obey all Your decrees and covenants.

Yours Forever,

Jeff

Teach, Instruct, and Demonstrate

 Scripture:

“Teach them God’s decrees, and give them his instructions. Show them how to conduct their lives.”‭‭Exodus‬ ‭18‬:‭20‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Observation:

Moses’ father-in-law came to him with his wife and two sons. He realized Moses was overworking and wouldn’t have time for his family. Everyone focuses on the delegation of work in this story, but I see here that Jethro also told him to teach God’s decrees, give them his instructions, and show them how to conduct their lives. After this word, he told Moses to delegate the bulk of the work to others whom he trusted. 

Application:

Leading God’s people well means teaching them God’s decrees. As a pastor/leader, my job is to teach God’s word to the people entrusted to me. I am also commissioned to give them God’s instructions and to show them how to conduct their lives. If you teach people to live well and teach them God’s ways and decrees, it will slow down the amount of help they need in settling disputes, etc.

Prayer:

Father, help me to lead well. Enable me to teach the people You have entrusted to me with excellence so their lives may be blessed and prosperous. Empower me to show them how to conduct their lives. Help me to help people, so they can live in Your blessing. Raise up people at Word of Life who are godly and don’t need others to settle their disputes because we have trained them well.

Yours Forever,

Jeff

God of Wonders

 Scripture:

““Who is like you among the gods, O Lord— glorious in holiness, awesome in splendor, performing great wonders?”  ‭‭Exodus‬ ‭15‬:‭11‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Observation:

The people of Israel had just come out of Egypt by God’s mighty hand and outstretched arm. He had delivered them from the Egyptian army with sign and wonders. In this passage, Miriam asks, :Who is like you among the gods… Awesome in splendor and performing great wonders.

Application:

God is still awesome in splendor and still performs great wonders. He is truly beyond belief, yet He is with us and lives in us. The all-powerful God of wonders is still at work in the world today. Wonders are simply things that make you wonder. God is the God of wonders. Sometimes we need to see God as the God who does wonders. Recently, God has been doing things in my life that I consider wonders. I can’t explain how or why, jus that He is God and can do what He wants to do. 

Prayer:

Father, let Your wonders increase in my life. I want to live in wonder at Your greatness. I ask You to do things in the earth and through Your people that turn heads and make this world wonder what happened and how it happened. Increase Your wonders among us O Lord. You are great and glorious. Let Your name be praised and lifted high all over the earth. Make people wonder once again.

Your Son,

Jeff
