O WORSHIP THE LORD IN THE BEAUTY OF HOLINESS: FEAR BEFORE HIM, ALL THE EARTH. PSALM 96
In the beauty of holiness are such beautiful words. In thinking of the words fear before him it is good to remember that fear relates to awe and reverence.

TO DAY IF YE WILL HEAR HIS VOICE… Psalm 95
How well are we in position to hear his voice? This depends on the condition of our hearts and minds. In order to hear his voice we need to provide a setting in our heart and mind to receive his voice. This setting relates to having a heart filled with gratitude for the gift of life that we have no matter what physical condition we may be in and a mind that is consciously aware of keeping our heart in such a state. It has been said our minds are our guardian angels whereby through alertness we recognize in any given moment if we are considering things that fill us with a sense of thankfulness or if we are paying attention to things that fill us with anger and irritation. We do have a choice in the matter. In this way we do choose our experience whether we know it or not. Many times we may be so absorbed in our daily affairs that we become unconscious of the things that really matter and default to the common feelings of shame, fear, hate and greed so typical in human experience. We are here individually and together to set a new precedent which is really an eternal precedent to provide an influence into the world that brings true worthiness, love, understanding and givingness. As this is done we offer the blessing for are to provide for our worlds.

Are you with the river of God?
In the psalms there is mention of the river of God. The river that provides the life flow for all of us to join with. In looking at a river we see that in the center of it there is a flow that moves onward with consistency and with a natural force effortless seemingly. How well are we participating in the center of our lives whereby there is this same consistency and natural and effortless flow? As we open our eyes to how we can participate in the central flow of our lives this can occur. This occurs when we simply acknowledge the people closest to us and in the situations we find ourselves where we can acknowledge the central part we play in participation with others. The central part that is ours alone in concert with others that provides the life flow through all the situations that we find ourselves in. Here is the glory of God increased on earth with us included!
