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.

LORD, I HAVE LOVED THE HABITATION OF THY HOUSE, AND THE PLACE WHERE THINE HONOUR DWELLETH.

As we love abiding in the spirits of appreciation, understanding, care, compassion and forgiveness we know the habitation of the house of the LORD. Here there is a natural honour that emanates from us as we honor the LORD in all that we think, say and do.

In addition as we so abide things we have done battle with within ourselves such as fears we may have had are dissipated by the cleansing nature of the LORD at work through ourselves. So often the things we may not like within ourselves we do battle with to try to get rid of all on our own in our own time which NEVER HAPPENS.  This only creates a loop of wasted time and living. These things in addition to fear may relate to things we are ashamed of, or things we have hated or things we have wanted. As we acknowledge to “LET THE LORD DO THE WORKS,” through ourselves we can let go of the battle to try to get over these things. We can let the natural processes of cleansing the LORD can only do through ourselves occur as we simply abide in the habitation of his house. Here we choose to abide in the  spirits of appreciation, understanding, care, compassion and forgiveness moment by moment, day by day.
