Psalm 32
Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven,
whose sin is covered.
Blessed is the man against whom the Lord counts no iniquity,
and in whose spirit there is no deceit.
For when I kept silent, my bones wasted away
through my groaning all day long.
For day and night your hand was heavy upon me;
my strength was dried up as by the heat of summer. Selah
I acknowledged my sin to you,
and I did not cover my iniquity;
I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,”
and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah
Therefore let everyone who is godly
offer prayer to you at a time when you may be found;
surely in the rush of great waters,
they shall not reach him.
You are a hiding place for me;
you preserve me from trouble;
you surround me with shouts of deliverance. Selah
I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;
I will counsel you with my eye upon you.
Be not like a horse or a mule, without understanding,
which must be curbed with bit and bridle,
or it will not stay near you.
Many are the sorrows of the wicked,
but steadfast love surrounds the one who trusts in the Lord.
Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, O righteous,
and shout for joy, all you upright in heart!
The Popular Song "Love Stinks" - we all know the cords. Easily. And hugely, the people who believe it is within their grasp to rewrite God's Very Word, tell us, surely, God, a loving God, would never want Jesus to die to save humanity.
Nothing could be more wrong. Love is what makes life worth living. Daily. And eventually, in the work and the attitudes of life, there is That defining moment. Does Love go forth? Father God says to His Beloved, in His Own Son - I will go past the gates of hell and I will make Love Eternally Triumph.
We are all building day after day - And this IS up to us to build - well. To take the mundane moments in the narrow path and eventually the fabric becomes richer - like the Velveteen Rabbit. Grace upon Grace makes life what truly is beautiful. We wonder at pick up your cross. Perhaps we understand better - Give us this Day.
God tells us to look for what is good. Our attitudes set us on His Path. His Path tells us we Are gifted talented, able to give back. Able to give our attention. Our time. Our care. Our diligent prayer. Able to spend a weekend painting. Able to help move. Able to take a pie. Able to discern God's Will with the cheerfulness of knowing His Will will work out.
God says for us to have a mind that is renewed in Him. To be alert, to not look just survival mode. To have an attitude of gratitude showing an alert nature. Pleasant. Love one's self not to exclusivity. Politely putting down social media without any gripes or whine to others. Loving one's self in a healthy manner Jesus would approve.
Jesus tells us - My Child! What a blessing! Turning the other cheek can be walking away from a pointless argument or then having that needed discussion in a manner worthy of healthy communicating - honoring His other person's opinion. Being able to say 'no' to the sponge who will always just take service and want more. Only because God wants us to fight the good fight. All of us. Do not deprive someone else of their ability to do something for themselves.
Sunshine on my shoulders makes me Happy.
Steadfast love surrounds the one who trusts in the Lord.
The Ocean tide makes a noise like a breathe. A good analogy for the steadfast Love of God.
Christians believing God -Know what they Know - in Knowing Jesus as Lord.
JESUS CHRIST THE LORD
We know in Jesus some big Time KNOWS.
The Good News. All the universe is Planned. Part of God's Plan, created in His Wisdom.
You see God within you, then see GOODNESS.
Daily Amazing Wonders when we take the time to renew.
We need to UNtarnish. Shine Shine.
As we come home and unlock the door - remember, also to unlock Gratitude.
Shine. Shine. Shine! You are a Narnia Lamp. A Lamp of God. Let Love Shine in You. Let Love fill you. The pounding of the waves is the relentlessness of God's Eternity. When we have been there 10,000 years our years will not diminish. And He said That YOU, who believe Jesus, will not be left behind.
He Will Not Let You Be Left. HE Gathers YOU.
Do not be ok - be assured.
The Steadfast Love of God is like that ocean.
Low tide is part of life and where is the water? Well, God has that water, that belongs to Him, on the other side of the planet because He decides.
God has arranged circles of the deep like Alaska and the Caribbean - the author of the Word did not See. Yet Father God arranged this in His Word.
Father God, help us to Be. Be assured daily of the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. In Jesus. Opening our doors with expectation of Your Continued Goodness in ourselves, in the ones we Love, in the people You bring us, in our Nation, blessing us.
Remembering the Love God brings us Home yesterday, today and tomorrow. His Steadfast Love we bring in our lives. Drawing His Love forth to enrich our lives. May Father God bless us all in Jesus. Amen.
