IN THE HOUSE OF MY GOD

In this house is the thrill to live.

In this house is perspective.

In this house is the oneness of love.

In this house we all live!

“WE WILL SHEW FORTH THY PRAISE TO ALL GENERATIONS”

Praise relates to the central essence that actually creates generations. If it was not for praise given in some way our world would not exist. Praise Creates our generations after generations!

As we acknowledge how our LORD praised his Father while he was present on earth and praise as He did, it allows for us to me one in the same spirit. This spirit that animates all the living world from the largest to the smallest.

Let’s remember to praise as our LORD has praised that we may all be one as the uni Verse is one.

IN GOD WILL I PRAISE HIS WORD: IN THE LORD WILL I PRAISE HIS WORD.

I find it striking to notice the words God and the LORD contained in this verse. I note in my awareness that the wholeness of God comes to a focus in the LORD. Giving praise to the word of God and  to the word of the LORD is really all one thing.

I see this relating to giving appreciation to that which is expressed through a leaf of a tree as giving praise to the word of the LORD specifically and to the word of the wholeness of God.

As we give praise in such a way we know the wonderful experience of oneness. Let’s continue to know our wonderful oneness together as we praise that which is beautifully specific of the word of the LORD knowing the wholeness of the word of God.

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!

THE JUDGEMENTS OF THE LORD, TRUE AND RIGHTOUS ALL TOGETHER

It is interesting to consider this verse as a whole. There may be a tendency to get mixed up with the word judgement. However if we focus more on the latter part of this statement it will lead us more to acknowledge the encompassment of the LORD that includes us all. As we learn to rest in the reality of that the judgement that tends to separate us becomes non-existent which opens the way to understand and love the judgement of the LORD.

THE LORD IN HIS HOLY TEMPLE

These words point to the reality that the Lord dwells in a designed place that is whole. As we still ourselves to know our place within this temple we come to a state of communion. Here we experience soundness and peace and glory and praise. Here we know ourselves as the light that we are as one.

THIS HONOUR HAVE ALL HIS SAINTS. PRAISE YE THE LORD.

Did you ever think of it this way? That it is an honor to be able to praise the LORD. To actually have the privilege to be alive in form to do this. This struck me this morning in putting things in greater perspective. That whatever arises it is an honor to praise the LORD. I can see as we keep this as our central most orientation that in whatever may arise of stressful things and even perceived good things it enables us to be in place all the time. Being in the place of providing what we would naturally provide for our one love and greatest joy  to be known here on earth.

FOR HIS NAME ALONE IS EXCELLENT

As we orient our minds and hearts to acknowledge the Name of the LORD as excellent it does not separate us rather it unites as one with  the LORD as well as one with each other. Let’s lift up our heads in knowing the unifying glory of the LORD. Here is living EXCELLENCE!

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.

RETURN UNTO THY REST, O MY SOUL;

“FOR THE LORD HATH DEALT BOUNTIFULLY WITH THEE.” If you think about this statement the “O my soul,”part is striking. Something more formative  than our own earthly soul is calling to put our soul to rest. It has been said each of us has our own individual and unique Lord that actually bountifully animates us! Remember also that the Lord that  animates our soul is a Lord of the LORD of Lords. As we consider the Oneness of God let us know there is something so solid, so real, so constant that the awareness of ourselves may come to rest in. This verse opens a door to the knowing of a greater peace in our temporal soul as well as the greater action of the working of God through us as we position ourselves to  listen and attend to the callings of our Lord of the LORD.  As we do so we may find that we are at rest in acting accordingly. May we know the following:  RETURN UNTO THY REST AND THY ACTION,  O MY SOUL.
