RESPONDING TO GOD

Psalm 139 concludes with this response:

“God, I invite your searching gaze into my heart. Examine me through and through; find out everything that may be hidden from me. Put me to the test and sift through all my anxious cares. See if there is any path of pain I’m walking on, and lead me back to your glorious everlasting ways–the path that brings me back to you.” Verse 23-24.

What a gracious God we have who loves us each and every minute of our life.

I wish you a very nice weekend – Bless you and your family.

WHAT DOES GOD KNOW?

Continuing in Psalm 139, do you know what God knows about you?

The Lord says: Lord, you know everything there is to know about me. You perceive every moment of my heart and soul, and you understand my every thought before it even enters my mind. You read my heart like an open book and you know all the words I’m about to speak before I even start a sentence!” Verse 1-4.

I find this truth to be phenomenal, don’t you?

WHAT DOES GOD DO?

What does God do for you?

The Lord says: “Though the Lord is great, he cares for the humble. Though I am surrounded by troubles, You will protect me from the anger of my enemies. You reach out your hand, and the power of your right hand saves me. The Lord will work out his plans for my life…Don’t abandon me for you made me.” Psalm 138:6-8.

Let’s give thanks to the Lord God for His love endures forever.

WHO ARE YOU?

“Who are you, and do you recognize who you are before the Lord, and that you’re loved by God? Start there.”

This observation by Henri Nouwen continually captivates me, perhaps you too?

One thing I do frequently is to open the Bible to where God leads me to read. It works every time, the Word speaks to my daily thinking. And in doing so, I discovered 2 Psalms 138 and 139. Do take a moment to read both psalms and see how they will describe who you really are!

For the Lord says: As soon as I pray, you answer me; you encourage me by giving me strength.” Psalm 138:3.

I hope you will follow me this week to dive deep into this reality. A Pexels Image.

BE FAVORED

Be favored today in finding something beautiful in nature.

I find peace in writing Haiku to capture a sacred moment in nature.  It is a spiritual part of my daily routine.  The world is full of these special encounters.  I hope you find one today, maybe in this Haiku:

The Truth and Spirit

Speaks nobly to open hearts

In silent whispers

FLYING LOVE

A symbol of flying in love is this simple fact:

Swallows chose mates for life and no matter how far they travel, they come home to their nesting place, which inspires this Haiku:

Flying fancy free

Cutting through the crispy air

Faithful swallows swoon

Although walking in love is demanding, the love it gives is worth it, don’t you think?  I trust this day is full of loving cheers.
