"Be of good courage, and let us behave ourselves valiantly for our people, and for the cities of our God: and let the LORD do that which is good in His sight" (I Chronicles 19:13).

God and the Speck

I am but a speck.

What's more, a despicable speck.

But the Lord can take a despicable speck and make him a spectacle, causing the watching world to wipe their spectacles in order to be sure that they are seeing what they are seeing, and to shew forth how spectacular HE, the LORD, is!

Matthew 5:16 
"Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."

I Peter 2:9-12 
"But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: 

Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy. 

Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul; 

Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation."

That is what God can do with a speck.

Turn and trust Him.  Be willing to be made a spectacle.  It is the greatest honor imaginable to engage in His arena for the glory of our King, whatever our part.

Glory to the KING!

Abortion must be abolished.

  1. Not in my lifetime will it be abolished. Perhaps in a few states, but it will continue.
