What more can be said beyond the reality of these words.
Let’s them be received into our hearts that we may know the comfort of them.
A COVENANT WITH ME…
As I consider these words there comes a depth of feeling remembering my purpose on earth. Let’s consider these words together letting them open the pathways of our heart allowing us to consciously understand why we are here and what we are to provide in each moment of our living.
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 LORD OF HOSTS WITH US
I find this a very comforting thought to realize that the LORD of Lords is with us and to have it phrased as the LORD of hosts. It makes us realize that each of us is actually a host. We are each designed to welcome to be a host.
Let’s consider how we can welcome those who enter our world—how we can be large and gracious and understanding with all in our world.
Let’s be the hosts we are designed to be true to the LORD of hosts. Here is fulfillment.
IN THY MAJESTY RIDE PROSPEROUSLY BECAUSE OF TRUTH, MEEKNESS, RIGHTOUSNESS
In the truth, meekness and rightousness of the LORD there is made evident a majestic nature. In this majesty prosperity is known. Here there is a greater knowing of the wealth and breath of the LORD.
It is something to consider the word meekness in this respect. It has been said that meekness relates to being agily responsive to the commands of the rider.
As we ask ourselves how we can be agily responsive to the commands of the LORD through us and open up to letting it be so I can sense the experience of majesty and prosperity that is a result. Can you also?
It is something to know that the commands of the LORD are really the commands of love. What would love have us do is really the question. What would the truth of love have us do?
Let’s listen to the commands in this respect knowing the majesty and prosperity of the LORD in our living experience. Selah…
YEA, UPON THE HARP WILL I PRAISE THEE
Our harp can be considered our human soul of body, mind and heart. As we praise the LORD with all of our capacities of body, mind and heart we allow the sounds of beauty to play out into the world. Here we blend in sounding the song of the LORD continually as it has been eternally sounding knowing our place. Here we know the wonder of harmonizing oneness creating all things a new!
AS THE HART PANTETH AFTER THE WATER BROOKS, SO PANTETH MY SOUL AFTER THEE, O GOD
Its been said that deer will turn water to drink as needed and to be around it when also exhausted after having been chased by prey. As the hart finds refuge with being near water such as a brook it is the same with us. I know for myself I find spending time near the river that runs through Atlanta to be very helpful to bring refreshment. As physical as this example is it lends itself to knowing that our spiritual refreshment comes as we return to the flowing waters. Returning to a physical representation of flowing waters can very much be helpful to realize more what it is to return to the flowing waters of what is real and true right before us. I take note to acknowledge the flowing waters of those before me in human form. For only as life is flowing can any of us be alive. As I share this it is good to acknowledge that our refreshment comes as we return to the flowing rivers of life expression through us all.
LET THY LOVINGKINDNESS AND THY TRUTH CONTINUALLY PRESERVE ME
As we acknowledge the lovingkindness and the truth of the LORD we are reminded of what really matters. If we may have taken a misstep we recognize it and let it go without berating ourselves. Here the lovingkindness and truth of the LORD is known in our experience. Let’s receive and know the beauty of the LORD.
