What’s in a Name?

Because they have not followed me wholeheartedly, not one of the men twenty years old or more who came up out of Egypt will see the land I promised on oath to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob- not one except Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite and Joshua son of Nun, for they followed the LORD wholeheartedly. (Numbers 32:11-12)

Today I continue with the “Celebration of Life” series.  I’ll begin where I left off.

June 24th, 1978 ~ The day my parents got married.

June 14th, 1979 ~ The day I was born.

To read more about these events and the beginning of my life, you can go to the devotional titled “Wonderfully Made.”  God wants us to celebrate every moment and that is why I’m taking the time to go back over the moments I’ve been given in the last 30 years.  Another great moment for me came on July 17th, 1980, the day my brother Caleb Ray Lindberg was born.  True, I don’t remember much about that day, but I do remember many moments since that day which involve my brother.

Wonderfully Made

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.  My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place.  When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body.  All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.  For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. (Psalm 139:13-16)

In just a little over a month, I will be celebrating my 30th Birthday.  I have been taking a look back over my years on this earth and I’ve been celebrating the moments that God has given me.  I have so much to be grateful for and so much that I want to share with you.  In the next 20 to 30 days, I will do my best to bring you the concise version of the 30 years of life God has given me.  I pray you will celebrate with me and in this journey through my life, may you too find an occasion to celebrate the life God has given you.

Even More Undignified

“I will become even more undignified than this, and I will be humiliated in my own eyes…”

~2 Samuel 6:22 (NIV)

Lately, I’ve been listening to a song over and over again thinking to myself what will it take for me to become “Even More Undignified” or as David put it “I will become even more undignified than this.”  The song is Undignified by David Crowder Band and here are some of the lyrics.

Undignified

I will dance.

I will sing.

To be mad

For my King

Nothing Lord is hindering

This passion in my soul.

Incurable Joy

This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. (Psalm 118:24)

This last week I was watching a show with Michael J. Fox in it called, “The Incurable Optimist” and a lot of it I wanted to apply to my Christian walk.  The world has some great ideas about hope, joy, and happiness.  I pray that we do not let them outshine us.  May we see what David wrote in the Psalms and apply it to our daily way of thinking.  May we wake up each morning and rejoice in the day God has given us.  Our days on this earth are numbered, the very breaths that we take have been given to us by God, and the opportunities we have to share the hope God has given us through Jesus Christ are slipping away.  We need to cease every opportunity we are given to share the hope that is within us and live with an incurable joy.  May the world look at us and see that we have a joy that can’t be shaken.

Brilliant Love

For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse. (Romans 1:20)

WITHOUT EXCUSE

God is so crazy about you and I, that He has made it impossible for us to deny and know who He truly is.  Everywhere we turn we are reminded that there is a Father in Heaven who loves and adores us.  Someone who has taken time to create animals, trees, ocean depths, mountain tops, stars above, galaxies, and human bodies.  The imagination cannot fathom all that God has created.  We are simply left with one conclusion…  THERE IS A GOD and you are not Him!
