Psalm 130 ~ Hope in the Lord!

Psalm 130

A Song of Ascents.


Out of the depths 
I cry to you, O Lord!

2 O Lord, hear my voice!
Let your ears be attentive
to the voice of my pleas for mercy!

3 If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities,
O Lord, who could stand?
4 But with you there is forgiveness,
that you may be feared.

5 I wait for the Lord, my soul waits,
and in his word I hope;
6 my soul waits for the Lord
more than watchmen for the morning,
more than watchmen for the morning.

7 O Israel, hope in the Lord!
For with the Lord there is steadfast love,
and with him is plentiful redemption.
8 And he will redeem Israel
from all his iniquities.

We were so blessed to have a light shower and hear thunder again today in Texas. Although the display was not of Heaven, surely this is splendid and spectacular to know the Creator of Lightning and Beauty enjoys His Creation.


Revelation 4

5 From the throne came flashes of lightning, and rumblings, and rolls of thunder. Before the throne burned seven torches of fire. This is the sevenfold Spirit of God. 6 And before the throne was something like a sea of glass, as clear as crystal in the center and around the throne







Our elderly dog was having back and leg pain and this led us down to the pond - swimming the pond bringing relief and joy to life.

Reading Matthew Henry really is a warm place to be. The refrain of his good life seeing good - is a joy. The Peace and the Love he brought to life around him.

I've always felt Psalm 130 is one of the best places to be. The Power, the Glory, the Mercy of God. His Mercy Billows. Enfolds. Entwines with life. Abundant Life.


And, really frankly, the photos are not all that of Heaven, however - taking what is a regular day and finding God in the day - is the place to be. Alexander came home from hiking Colorado today - adding blessing to the day. To see your grown son when the vacation has finished - is truly blessing. We went to the art museum with a favorite friend and professor of Alexander's and we looked at all of the Impressionism. My son loves art and isn't a huge fan of Impressionism.

We loved looking at the paintings and finding the skin of the new baby differs from the radiance of the toddler and the young mother. Impressionism - why does the tree have purple in the bark? The color is there = to find and just to be studied to find the Blessing. Like an Easter Egg Hunt.

Taking the message of God and applying His Words to our day - and finding His Promises and Blessings.

Finding to walk the poor dog - Jackson hurting - seeing his pleasure to be taken from the yard and the house - seeing a wider pond - the joy to move freely - to be free. To run run run after a flyaway duck. The pleasure of deciding on his own to splash and swim swim swim to the other side without boundary or leash.

In the dog's open adventure - he is young and free. Happy. Seeing the water make circles on the pond for a coming shower - hearing the deep rumble of thunder and the changing of the light. Was an adventure I'm so happy to have. Back into the house - with a happy, happy dog. The ordinary is the Gift of God.

Abba, Father God,

Philippians 4:8

8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.

As surely as the Heavenly Host appeared to sing to the Shepherds abiding in the fields,
just as the Holy Spirit did abide upon the waters of Creation,

We have the evening call of tree frogs, cicadas, baby Cardinal songbirds. The serenade of summer.

The echoes of thunder, God of Wonders - in Texas Summer.

Deep calls to Deep.

We are blessed. We are very grateful.

To be in Jesus.

Taking all of the day and letting our Father God of All

Carry us all in the Holy Spirit

Our Father God is God of All and God of the Heavenly Hosts

All Healing, All Hope is in Jesus

 Amen, Amen and Amen

♔ Lord Jesus Saves! †
