In this constant state of praise our soul is raised to be as it truly is to be. Here we are up-righted and made whole.
Let’s continue to joyfully discover how our lives can unfold as we sing unto the LORD in this day and in all days.
GOD RULETH IN JACOB UNTO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH. SELAH
Here we see that Jacob is symbolized as a term to represent a focus of God for the earth that relates to all people. As there is a focus of God then God can influence all the earth. The focus of Jacob really needs to be present in each of us as his crowning creation for God’s influence to extend.
How this is done is by having the face of our feeling waters receptive to the spirit of God to move across them. Our feeling waters need to be so filled with thankfulness and praise for this to occur.
As we position our feeling realms accordingly the restorative influences of God can move out into the world making nature even more beautiful as well as bringing order and balance and mutual creative sharing among all of us. Here God can ruleth unto the ends of the earth. SELAH.
IN GOD WILL I PRAISE HIS WORD: IN THE LORD WILL I PRAISE HIS WORD.
I find it striking to notice the words God and the LORD contained in this verse. I note in my awareness that the wholeness of God comes to a focus in the LORD. Giving praise to the word of God and to the word of the LORD is really all one thing.
I see this relating to giving appreciation to that which is expressed through a leaf of a tree as giving praise to the word of the LORD specifically and to the word of the wholeness of God.
As we give praise in such a way we know the wonderful experience of oneness. Let’s continue to know our wonderful oneness together as we praise that which is beautifully specific of the word of the LORD knowing the wholeness of the word of God.
THE MEDITATION OF MY HEART SHALL BE OF UNDERSTANDING
As we position our heart to understand a new and refreshed world opens up in our perspective. Here we can understand ourselves more as well as others we are with. Here we realize we are all in this world together that really what is good for me is what is good for another. As we realize it is our collective influence that matters most for the benefit of the WHOLE that we find our real place within it.
BEAUTIFUL FOR SITUATION, THE JOY OF THE WHOLE EARTH, MOUNT ZION
I love the phrasing of this psalm verse-“beautiful for situation—the joy of the whole earth—-mount Zion.”
Let’s pause and soak in the nature of these words. For here, the spirit of love opens a door to know the wonders of heaven.
Let’s live in this place of mount Zion…
GOD IS GONE UP WITH A SHOUT, THE LORD WITH THE SOUND OF A TRUMPET!
If we really are inclined to do the LORD’s will on earth we will hear his direction with a shout with the sound of a trumpet. If we are willing to actually hear this call it will immediately upright ourselves in knowing what is required at hand. If we turn aside from this call we will find ourselves caved in and contracted in angst and fear. It really becomes our choice to live a life of strength and clarity as compared to a sad and contracted life.
Let’s hear the shout of God and the trumpet of the LORD knowing a sense of victory throughout our living days.
THE MEEK SHALL DELIGHT THEMSELVES IN THE ABUNDANCE OF PEACE
As we mature in following the ways of the LORD we become increasingly aware of the consequent peace that results. I have found ways to know more in this respect. With my HeartMath work there is a procedure in all its tools called heart focus. This is where you simply focus your feeling attention on your heart. As I do this I find a greater sensing of peace in the midst of my moments. It especially helps when I may be feeling stressed. However. when the intensity in my life is off doing this allows me in my more quieter moments to experience a greater sense of wholeness and spiritual communion. Try it for yourself and see how it may help in knowing and following the ways of the LORD.
TRUST UNDER THE SHADOWS OF THY WINGS
As we abide under the shadows of the wings of the LORD we know a sense of trust, of wonder and of joy.
How do we abide under the shadow of the LORD?First is giving heed to knowing that there is one individualized aspect of God who provides the apex point of control in which all others including you and me are focalized. That one is the Lord of Lords. As we accept this wonderful truth our lives begin to take on a new name offerring that which is coming from God out of heaven into the earth through us.
Abiding under the shadows of the wings of the LORD is acknowledging that there is a King that we all find centering in and that it is our love to do so. Here the shadow of the wings of the LORD really is a radiant shadow that fills our soul’s to overflowing.Here we then extend that radiance on earth through us providing warmth, security and love to all in our world.
Let us so abide.
LET THY MERCY, O LORD, BE UPON US, ACCORDING AS WE HAVE HOPE IN THEE.
“According as we have hope in thee” can also be said as according as we have confidence in thee. As we do find confidence in the LORD we know HIS mercy. HIS mercy that has been given to us all through the ages since the fall of man. As we have the awareness of HIS mercy we are filled with love to overflowing. Here it is our love to let the LORD’s influence be restored on earth through the expression of our living. As we reawaken to our single minded focus to provide this influence our living is ordered up. Double-mindedness has been the cause of a living experience that has gone no where. It has caused an experience of a lack of fulfillment, tiring out living and a lack of confidence. As we make the choice to know and cultivate our heart and mind interest to provide the influences of the LORD on earth in a real and true way without imposition our living experience takes on a charge. A charge of life, of joy, of enthusiasm, of assurance, of serrendipity. Here we emanate the influences of LORD through the expression of our living easily, gracefully and perfectly.
Let’s continue in this central way.
GIVE THANKS AT THE REMEMBRANCE OF HIS HOLINESS
As we remember the wholeness of LORD we realize His wholeness goes beyond our mental comprehension. Here we can only bow to His awesome presence and all enfolding love. As we remember we become whole ourselves. And know the honor of letting His Name increase on earth through us.
