♫Five Holy Things♫

Saturday, December 29, 2012 (7:18 a.m.)

Blessed Father God,

You did it again! Without any trying on my part, somewhere during the early morning I knew this fifth day of Christmas would represent ♫five holy things♫ What I don't yet know is what those five holy things are.

Just a moment ago I thought they were: “beauty, joy, faith, hope and love”. Then I started thinking too much and am left wondering what YOU have for them to be. Speak clearly and directly to me, please.

The song ♫Holy, holy, holy♫ is singing to me. Is ♫merciful and mighty♫ to be added to ♫God in three Persons (blessed Trinity)♫ for a total of five? How about the number of members in our immediate family? No. That's not it.

(9:48 a.m.)

Oh, but I think this is! You tell me Blessed Father. Are the five holy things actual things or names? I am in such a state of absolute AGOG at this very moment, much of me can't even think straight!

Here is Jesus with His Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 7:6 - Common English Bible) telling us straight out, “Don't give holy things to dogs, and don't throw your pearls in front of pigs. They will stomp on the pearls, then turn around and attack you.”

Father, I KNOW that “You alone are holy” (Revelation 15:4)! And then I come across the five holy names Isaiah prophesied. “For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given: and the government shall be upon His shoulder: and His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace” (Isaiah 9:6 – NKJV).

These will ALL be His name! So again I recognize the ♫Five Holy Things♫ [that I will NOT give to dogs!] as being One. As “You alone art One”.

Thank You Father. Thank You Son. Thank You Holy Spirit. Work in me to remember the five separate pieces of Your most holy name.

“'Wonderful', without equal. 'Counselor', who can help us sort through our inner mess and guide us into truth and reality. 'The Mighty God', who can supply us with the power to stay on the path of recovery. 'The Everlasting Father', who can love us more deeply than any earthly father can. 'The Prince of Peace', who can fill our mind with peace and our life with wholeness” (The Life Recovery Bible). The five holy things I want to hold tightly to, yet share freely with others as well.

I love You. Help me glorify and enjoy You as You desire. I love You so very much. Thank You. Amen.
