Catch the emotion of this—and appreciated knowing something more of the expansiveness and wellness 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.
WITH THE PURE THOU WILT SHOW THYSELF PURE
Wonderful words here! The purity of the LORD is made evident in so many ways. The purity of a flower, the purity of the sun, the purity of a real conversation with a friend come to my mind as examples to acknowledge. Consider for yourself examples. As we do turn our significant attention to the purity of the LORD made manifest in so many ways we find ourselves knowing an ease and peace and pure joy. May we continue in this way.
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”
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.
I WILL PRAISE THEE WITH MY WHOLE HEART…
Orienting in the way of these words positions us to provide for our world. Whether we remember to do this when we find ourselves in a bit of intensity or when we may be feeling great opening up to what it means to praise the LORD with our whole heart lets us acknowledge our opportunities and provide something of beauty into and through them. Here we are the blessing we are meant to be. Let’s let this awareness deepen in our heart that we may be blessing during this holiday season.
EVEN FOR EVER
In the psalms such statements “even for ever,” are noted in them giving reference to the LORD and the nature of God. In reading them they struck me as statements to consider. “Even for ever,” gives such an all encompassing proclamation. I find it striking to open up to the absoluteness and eternal nature of God clothed in temporal terms as “even for ever.” May these words do the same for you.
THEY THAT TRUST IN THE LORD AS MOUNT ZION—
“which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever.” As the world appears in this day I find it good to acknowledge that having an orientation in the Lord brings a sense of eternity in the midst. Let’s continue to increasingly appreciate what it means to trust in the Lord as a mighty mountain that cannot be removed and abideth for ever. Let’s stand together in such representation blessing the world with largeness and strength for all to know the reality of IN GOD WE TRUST.
