Beloved–

My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?  Why are you so far away when I groan for help? Every day I call to you, my God, but you do not answer.  Every night I lift my voice, but I find no relief.  How can I know all the sins lurking in my heart?  Cleanse me from these hidden faults.  Keep your servant from deliberate sins!  Don’t let them control me. Then I will be free of guilt and innocent of great sin.  May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing to you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.

But as for me, I will sing about your power. Each morning I will sing with joy about your unfailing love.  For you have been my refuge, a place of safety when I am in distress.  O my Strength, to you I sing praises, for you, O God, are my refuge, the God who shows me unfailing love.

A-h-a-a-a-a, the book of Psalms what a comfort!

Luv Ya!

Beloved–

I will praise you, Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all the marvelous things you have done.  I will be filled with joy because of you.  I will sing praises to your name, O Most High . . . You will show me the way of life, granting me the joy of your presence and the pleasures of living with you forever . . .  (from Psalms)

Knowing that the Lord has paid my debt and granted me the joy of his presence in my daily life, I have learned that the death of a beloved friend or having a flat tire in the middle of nowhere, at night, the Lord is in control.  And just because I can’t always see what is best in the situation  — the LORD does.

I pray for you to experience the presence of the LORD, the God who is . . . Father, Son and Holy Spirit!

Luv Ya!
