As we worship in full reverence and strength we know the invigoration of the LORD. Let this be a day of new beginnings as we do so!
FOR THOU LORD,ONLY MAKEST ME DWELL IN SAFETY
As we give thanks and praise to the LORD we are surrounded with HIS presence. Here is an experience of safety and even more so an experience of full joy!
AND IN HIS LAW DOTH HE MEDITATE DAY AND NIGHT
Today as I consider these words I have asked myself how do I meditate in his law? What has come to mind relates to keeping a thankful and appreciative heart. As I do so in all matters day and night my soul is in position to receive the positive nature of the spirit of our Lord. Here I can perceive what is true what is sound what is of wonderful law. It is good to see that the law of the Lord is something that can be wonderfully received in our heart and mind. That as it is received it gives us the peace of understanding. That it gives us a sense of assurance and of joy. Here it is our pleasure and love to meditate on his law day and night. Continue reading “AND IN HIS LAW DOTH HE MEDITATE DAY AND NIGHT”
THIS HONOUR HAVE ALL HIS SAINTS. PRAISE YE THE LORD.
Did you ever think of it this way? That it is an honor to be able to praise the LORD. To actually have the privilege to be alive in form to do this. This struck me this morning in putting things in greater perspective. That whatever arises it is an honor to praise the LORD. I can see as we keep this as our central most orientation that in whatever may arise of stressful things and even perceived good things it enables us to be in place all the time. Being in the place of providing what we would naturally provide for our one love and greatest joy to be known here on earth.

FOR HIS NAME ALONE IS EXCELLENT
As we orient our minds and hearts to acknowledge the Name of the LORD as excellent it does not separate us rather it unites as one with the LORD as well as one with each other. Let’s lift up our heads in knowing the unifying glory of the LORD. Here is living EXCELLENCE!
LET ALL FLESH BLESS HIS HOLY NAME FOR EVER AND EVER
LET ALL FLESH bless his holy name. Let really our entire being bless his holy name. “All in” as it has been said. How do we actually do that? It is not by trying rather than by yielding. Yielding in love to that which we truly love. Here we is where it becomes essential to take the time to turn to the thIngs of God. Whether it be reading and considering a healing verse in the Bible or taking an appreciative walk in nature. Time needs to be set aside for immersion in that which we know we love. As we do so we are increasingly in the way of being all in—all our flesh blessing his holy name.
THOU OPENEST THINE HAND, AND SATISFIETH THE DESIRE OF EVERY LIVING THING
As I was reading the healing verses I found this verse to beautifully strike my heart. It made me think more how abundantly nature opens the hand of God that gifts us with deep satisfaction. I further consider how each of us can do the same for others. That we may be an expression of the open hand of God extending that which is beautiful, refreshing and real.
FOR I LIFT UP MY SOUL UNTO THEE
As I consider the words, “my soul unto thee,” I sense coming into a conscious place that is above the morass of the present day world. It seems there is so much to fill our thoughts that pulls us here and there that we fail to know what it means simply to be present.
As I consider lifting up my soul unto the Lord something of peace and spaciousness dawns in my consciousness. At first the openness and spaciousness of this feeling feels in a way daunting or unfamiliar. And as I just continued to consider what it means to lift up my soul I found that I came to a conscious awareness of oneness. Oneness with all the living world. Here as I moved past the feeling of something unfamiliar I found myself at home.
My word today is to consider what it means to lift up your soul unto the Lord and to let something new be experienced something that actually gives you the experience of wonderful oneness with all the living world.
I MUSE ON THE WORK OF THY HANDS
As we consider the many works of nature and acknowledge a source of all that naturally is an inspiration dawns on us that is exhilarating. Here we breathe in wonder and awe that stops us in the moment to appreciate. I find it interesting that the word muse and musical begin the same way. Let’s continue to appreciate the works of God springing through the works of our Lord in this day and time. For here we open to the music of the spheres blending in the harmonious experience of all that is.
MINE EYES UNTO THEE
As we lift up our eyes to that which is whole and decent and real there is a communion with the spirit of our Lord. Here there is peace and an infilling of our soul that is enlightening. Let’s continue to lift up our eyes knowing a greater state of communion filled to overflowing extending the wholeness, decency and realness of the Lord.
