Belong…

Today’s Word Prompt is Belong…

GO.

He wandered lost.

Hungry.

Cold.

His clothes were torn and tattered. He had been gone from home a long time. What if they had forgotten? What if they didn’t care?

Of course he was wrong, he shouldn’t have left. But he wanted to see the world, experience things for himself. Have his own way!

Why, they didn’t understand him, he had big plans! He was going to be somebody and he wasn’t going to work on the farm like his brother for years and years to get there.

He wanted it now.

But his careless living had cost him all he had and now he was broke. He hadn’t eaten for days. Searching for food in trash bins where he didn’t belong.

What was he thinking?!

Hurry home Wayward One!

Hurry home Long-Lost Child!

Hurry home Prodigal Son!

There is no need to wander any longer. No need to hurt any more.

Take off that heavy burden and lay it at His feet.

He is the Healer of all pain, the Forgiver of any wrong.

Jesus is waiting with open arms to take you back to where you do belong…safely back home.

STOP.

Endless Halleluljah!

What is the Highest Praise we can give to God?

The one Praise that is the same in any language?

HALLELUJAH!

Universally accepted, universally understood. Sometimes abused, but still it means the same thing: It is a call to worship or an exclamation of praise. It is actually formed from two Hebrew words meaning “Praise ye the Lord”! The Greek form is “Alleluia”.

The word is found 24 times in the Book of Psalms, almost always at the beginning or ending of the poem.

In the New Testament we find the word used several times exclusively in the 19th chapter of Revelation; “Then I heard what seemed to be the voice of a great multitude, like the roar of many waters and like the sound of mighty peals of thunder, crying out, ‘Hallelujah! For the Lord our God the Almighty reigns.'” Revelation 19:6.

This is after the final victory of the Church and the great multitude has gathered around the throne to worship the One who has redeemed His Bride! John says the sound of praise and worship is so loud and overwhelming he compares it to “the roar of many waters and the sound of mighty peals of thunder”.

Don’t you want to be there?! Endless Hallelujah!! What excites me the most about the word is that we will be able to use it over and over again in the presence of the King when we finally reach that City! As the angels cry, “Holy, Holy, Holy..”, we can finally join them in singing Endless Hallelujah’s and “Holy, Holy, Holy, to the Lamb!”

HALLELUJAH seems the only word grand enough to be used in the presence of the Almighty besides HOLY!

Matt Redman wrote a beautiful song, you’ve been waiting for it, and every time I hear it I can envision standing with the Redeemed…

When I stand before Your throne

Dressed in glory not my own

What a joy I’ll sing of on that day

No more tears or broken dreams

Forgotten is the minor key

Everything as it was meant to be

And we will worship, worship

Forever in Your presence we will sing

We will worship, worship You

**An Endless Hallelujah to the King**

You can hear the song in its entirety on the video, you will be blessed!

When the Yolk Breaks…

Beyond excited to have as a guest writer today my very own nephew, Chase Noel! He is a great writer and teaches us that we can say so much by saying so little.

Please read his bio at the end of this post and visit his blog at Going in Grace. You will be blessed.

What do you do when the yolk in the egg breaks?

You cook scrambled eggs.

I’m no egg expert, but an over-easy egg takes an unbroken yolk.

Keeping the yolk in tact is essential to the outcome of your sunny-side up (if that’s your preference), but accidents happen and innocent yolks end up hurt, stirred, broken…

Here comes the unveiling of the metaphor you were expecting…

When the yolk breaks, instead of forgetting the breakfast all-together; fix scrambled eggs.

We take on projects, endeavors, even relationships with an expected end result. But through the process that precedes the end result, stuff happens. The promotion is given to someone else. That girl or guy gets married…

Our expectations don’t pan out, and all we’re left with is a broken yolk.

The truth is, the ending doesn’t always align with our expectations, but who deemed our expectations to be ideal? Your shattered expectations could be the doorway to a better reality.

Your broken yolk could make for some good scrambled eggs.

If you can’t recover what you had, why not work with what’s left? What’s left may end up being far greater than what was. Jesus lends Himself to broken yolks like you and me.

A broken yolk isn’t useless, it’s another chance… Better yet, it’s a different chance.

Don’t give up. Scramble some eggs.
