What's with that thing on your head?

That was the awkward question an employee at the place where I get my van serviced  asked me today.  I actually dont get many questions, so it caught me a little off guard.  I told him about what Paul said in I Corinthians.  The thing most people don't realize it that most of our great grandmothers all wore head coverings.  If you go back a hundred years, you will also find surprisingly that women also covered their bodies.  Men still generally make it a point to uncover their heads as they enter a church

Prophecy fulfilled. I kings 13 and II kings 22

He found the book of the law

It told him what he would do

He set to work right away

He made it all come true

He had the law read aloud

To the  people young and old

They discovered their fathers sins

They decided to be bold

They would not continue in their sins

Would stop, cry out, repent

They removed the idols from the land

This was why King Josiah had been sent

To make The temple clean

Baal's stuff all up in flames

Idol alters broken down

The idol priests slain

Have you cleaned your house yet?

And Fulfilled the prophesy

Come out from among her?

Touch not the unclean thing?

Will you stand against the idols

And The sins of those before you

Immerse yourself in the Word

Let the power of God shine through

On a steep ravine

Getting closer to the fire

Clinging flat to the rock

Not falling is the desire

A close grip on the rock

Makes the climb more sure

The light is so powerful

Gives the strength to endure

Others there along the way

Are there to help the weak (Gal.6:2)

The young are holding fast the rock

They can almost see the peak

Remove the thorns along the way

So no distractions choke (Matt. 13:32)

A clear path is easier

When traveling through smoke

Our God is a consuming fire (Hebrews 12:29)

He that cometh to God must believe (Hebrews 11:6)

After ye have done the will of God, 

The promise you'll receive! (Hebrews 10:36)

The lust of The flesh

The lust of the eyes

Lord, take these away

And spare me from pride (I John 2:16)

The one thing I know

That I don't want to be

Someone higher than thou

-like that Pharisee (Luke 18:9 )

Who thought himself righteous

And better than others (Luke 18:11-12)

Lord let me live

A life that is humble.  ( Prov.22:4)

It is so easy to be tricked 

When you think your living right

I desire a pure heart (Psalms 24:4)

and all of God's might

O God, strengthen my hands (Nehemiah 6:9)

Keep my eyes upon thee (Psalms 25:15)

Help me  resist the evil

He raised Christ from the dead,

And set Him at His own right hand,

With His exceedingly great power, (Eph 1:19-20)

Into  your servant's house,"

And leave this sinful place.
