As I consider this verse the words I am glad in the Lord come to mind. As I turn my mind to realize what it means to be glad in the Lord it opens a doorway into the experience of being in the presence of the Lord. Here there is peace and perspective. Here there is understanding and largeness. Here there is joy. Let’s continue to open to know increasingly what it means to be glad in the Lord.
O LORD, HOW MANIFOLD ARE THY WORKS! IN WISDOM HAST THOU MADE THEM ALL
It is something to be awed by the many works of all living things and to acknowledge the wisdom of the Lord through them all. Here we find a oneness with all things as well as the Lord. Enjoy the living communion!
BLESS THE LORD, O MY SOUL, AND FORGET NOT ALL HIS BENEFITS:
WHO FORGIVETH ALL THINE INIQUITIES;
WHO HEALETH ALL THY DISEASES;
WHO REDEEMETH THY LIFE FROM DESTRUCTION;
WHO CROWNETH THEE WITH LOVINGKINDNESS AND TENDER MERCIES;
WHO SATISFIETH THY MOUTH WITH GOOD;
SO THAT THY YOUTH IS RENEWED LIKE THE EAGLE’S.
