Having a kind-of quiet morning. Got up with Jason today because I have to be at work a little earlier and it's actually nice to feel like I've got time. We might start doing this on the mornings I have to work.
Psalm 96
I have loved this section of the Psalms. Feels like we were kind-of slugging it out with David in the throes of desperation and need in the first part of Psalms - and now we are in a place of rejoicing and thanksgiving.
(Yah - Rain!!!)
My heart feels lifted up this morning Lord. Thank you for the joy in my heart. For the rain that makes me feel buzzing-alive. For friends and family and love and for says like today when I am truly thankful to be alive and to be your child.
"Oh sing to the Lord a new song;
sing to the Lord all the earth!
Sing to the Lord, bless his name;
tell of his salvation from day to day.
Declare his glory among the nations,
his marvelous works among all the peoples!
For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised;
he is to be feared above all gods.
For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols,
but the Lord made the heavens.
Splendor and majesty are before him;
strength and beauty are in his sanctuary."
Strength and beauty are in Your sanctuary...
Amazing that places of strength and beauty are sanctuaries for our souls - here on earth - as a picture of eternity.
It's so good Lord to sit and soak in Your goodness - to let it wash over me and cleanse me.
I just want to be still and meditate on that - just let it rest upon me and bathe me.
Father - may I be like a sponge dipped in the perfume of Your presence... that as I soak in Your goodness and glory and light I would bless others today with that fragrance.
May I be more like Christ to others today that they may know how much You love them and how incredibly good You are.
Amen.
Amen. Amen.
And thank you Lord for You.
Love,
Woo
