How well do we speak the truth that is in our heart? Let’s consider how best we may articulate words that spring from a true place in our heart. A place that looks to bless those we are with. A place that brings an awareness of our highest sensing of purpose.
O LORD OUR LORD, HOW EXCELLENT IS THY NAME IN ALL THE EARTH
Excellence springs from the core of all things.When this core is acknowledged excellence is found and honored. As this is done our hearts rightly give thanks and praise and our minds our gifted with peace and control. Continue in your days recognizing this truth and soon the excellence of acknowledging the Lord will gift you with treasures beyond belief.
THE LIGHT OF THY COUNTENANCE UPON US
Knowing the light of the countenance of the Lord is a joy and wonder to behold through each other. We behold it when our hearts are positioned in thankfulness and humility. When we recognize that we would not have any life at all if was not for the presence of the Lord through us. When we acknowledge the source of our lives it brings a humility and an openness to let the light of the Lord shine through us. In this position we can shine the light of our true countenance upon others blessing our world.
PRAISE HIM WITH THE SOUND OF THE TRUMPET
Praising the Lord with the sound of the trumpet relates to giving expression to that which is of grace and stature. As we are so upright we declare boldly the expression of the Lord. We are called to be a blessing and to give sound to the character of Lord. As we do we fulfill our lives.
PRAISE THE LORD O MY SOUL
Praise the Lord with your whole heart! With all your soul. This way nothing can be available for the evil ways of this world. Give it all and you will have it all of peace and fulfillment.
THOU RIGHT HAND SHALL HOLD ME!
What is the right hand of God? The right hand is the hand symbolized by the right positive action of God on earth. It is the hand that acts with decency and a perspective of the whole and what would bring blessings to mankind. The right hand allows for action to be taken that would bless others. Let’s let our positive action increase the wholeness of God on earth.
UNTIL I FIND OUT A PLACE FOR THE LORD
Our life is designed to find out the place where the natural expression of integrity is known. A natural expression that brings ease and fulfillment. This place is a state of being of heart, mind and body, our temporal soul. When we come to point in realizing that what we experience is emitted into the world we can recognize a responsibility to add something that can be known as a place for the Lord. A place where peace, perspective and love can emanate from within outward. As we do hold our thoughts and feelings accountable in this way we acknowledge something more than just being responsible. We acknowledge our greatest love from which all things all happiness springs. The choice is ours.
THOU SHALT SEE THE GOOD OF JERUSALEM ALL THE DAYS OF THY LIFE
The good of Jerusalem is the good of the life activities all about you. As we are centered in the place where peace can flood through our hearts we can see what is actually good. Good in terms of that which is abundantly filled with joy, with strength and with decency. Sure enough we may have thoughts that waft through our minds that are aberrant and off the mark but we do not have to pay attention to them. Think of them as just debris floating down the river. We can see it but do not have to jump on and drown with it. Just let it pass on through. The more we are centered in our right places the quicker the debris can pass because to do not judge it or be offended by it. Just let it go. As we do so our attention is available to appreciate the true life activities around us in which we can assist in enhancing. As we do so we shall see good all the days of our life.
EXCEPT THE LORD BUILD THE HOUSE, THEY LABOUR IN VAIN THAT BUILD IT
Such simple words to guide our living. Let’s look deeper into what they mean. Letting the Lord build our house relates to letting our relationships be designed by His creativity by His patience by His perspective. Do our relationships build a surround around ourselves that gives evidence of the purposes of the Lord and of increasing the nature of His integrity on earth. As we answer these questions for ourselves we may need to let go of old things and let go to seeing what would indeed increase the nature of the Lord’s influence on earth.
HOW SWEET ARE THY WORDS UNTO MY TASTE!
When we are in position to receive the words of the Lord we find a deep satisfaction describable as sweetness and joy. To be in position to receive these words regards the matter of the state of our hearts. A disturbed heart can not receive until there is a reorientation to thankfulness, appreciation, patience and praise. Praise to the Lord for the opportunity we have at hand to honor his love and to extend His character into the earth. As we are in such position we taste the sweetness of the presence of the Lord and at the same time extend His presence on earth. Here is joyful fulfillment.
