Feeling kind of quiet today. First day in many days that my head has felt clear. It is nice. Trying to keep it that way without panicking about it NOT being that way =P
Psalm 113-116
* Psalm 116 is my hymn of rejoicing and praise this morning Lord.
I love the Lord because he has heard
my voice and my pleas for mercy.
Because he inclined his ear to me
therefore I will call on him as long as I live.
The snares of death encompassed me;
the pangs of Sheol laid hold of me;
I suffered distress and anguish.
Then I called on the name of the Lord:
"O Lord, I pray, deliver my soul!"
Gracious is the Lord, and righteous;
our God is merciful.
The Lord preserves the simple;
when I was brought low, he saved me.
Return, o my soul, to your rest;
for the Lord has dealt bountifully with you.
For you have delivered my soul from death,
my eyes from tears,
my feet from stumbling;
I will walk before the Lord
in the land of the living.
I believed, even when I spoke:
"I am greatly afflicted."
I said in my alarm,
"All mankind are liars."
What shall I render to the Lord
for all his benefits to me?
I will lift up the cup of salvation
and call upon the name of the Lord,
I will pay my vows to the Lord
in the presence of all his peoples.
Precious in the sight of the Lord
is the death of his saints.
O Lord, I am your servant;
I am your servant, the son of your maid servant.
You have loosed my bonds.
I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving
and call upon the name of the Lord.
I will pay my vows to the Lord
in the presence of all his people,
in the courts of the house of the Lord,
in your midst, O Jerusalem.
Praise the Lord!"
Father, my heart is thankful for the rest and peace You have granted my soul. Thank you for refreshing me this weekend and I pray that You would help me to be Your witness at work - at friends' houses - at Gravitate and swing and playing the game - to Jason and Apple - and my family. What vows have I made that I need to fulfill Lord? Bring them to mind and help me fulfill them - FIrst and foremost the vow that my life would be dedicated and devoted to Your will. Amen.
