devil in the details

To: salrom@sbcglobal.net Date: Monday, September 8, 2008, 6:11 PM Mark 8:33 But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men. A strong rebuke from a dear friend ....how easily I am distracted. We used to leave the meat as the last thing on our dinner plates....we wanted to savour it...we wanted the taste to linger....the lingering taste mostly these days is so much of the WORLD. I may have good intentions that are not HIS intentions. LORD help me to "follow hard" after you. AMEN. ===================== Oh! to be like Thee, blessed Redeemer, This is my constant longing and prayer; Gladly I'll forfeit all of earth's treasures, Jesus, Thy perfect likeness to wear. Refrain: Oh! to be like Thee, oh! to be like Thee, Blessed Redeemer, pure as Thou art; Come in Thy sweetness, come in Thy fullness; Stamp Thine own image deep on my heart. Oh! to be like Thee, full of compassion, Loving, forgiving, tender and kind, Helping the helpless, cheering the fainting, Seeking the wand'ring sinner to find. 3. Oh! to be like Thee, lowly in spirit, Holy and harmless, patient and brave; Meekly enduring cruel reproaches, Willing to suffer, others to save. 4. Oh! to be like Thee, Lord, I am coming, Now to receive th' anointing divine; All that I am and have I am bringing, Lord, from this moment all shall be Thine. 5. Oh! to be like Thee, while I am pleading, Pour out Thy Spirit, fill with Thy love, Make me a temple meet for Thy dwelling, Fit me for life and Heaven above.
