I’m looking to You Blessed God. Seeking to become the me You created me to be.
Singing has been happening so far this morning. Many of the same songs from earlier in the week. With one new addition to the list.
This one helped me smile. Thinking it was ♪Here we [I?] go again♪ I grinned when it turned out to be ♪Here You Come Again♪
(7:56 a.m.)
THIS is awesome! Reading about what it is to look to You I come to Psalm 34:5. Oh! But wait… there’s more!
Verse 4. 3. 2. 1. Yes! “A psalm of David, regarding the time he pretended to be insane…” How many times do I wonder what insanity feels like?
Father! Thank You for the Truth and the grounding of Your Word.
“I will praise the LORD at all times. I will constantly speak His praises. I will boast only in the LORD; let all who are helpless take heart. Come, let us tell of the LORD’s greatness; let us exalt His name together” (Psalm 34:1-3).
The eagerness that comes over me as I continue reading is building. Lord, You are so very good (Psalm 145:7a).
“I prayed to the LORD, and He answered…”
[Cue new music! ♪I sought the Lord and He heard and He answered…♪
Trust in God]
“…me. He freed me from all my fears” (v.4) Oh, and I have them Father. I could easily sink from the weight of them.
Thank You that “Those who look to Him for help will be radiant with joy; no shadow of shame will darken their faces. In my desperation I prayed, and the LORD listened; He saved me from all my troubles” (5-6).
Father, when I allow fear to live rent free in my head I do feel desperate. Thank You again for Your promises.
“For the angel of the LORD is a guard; He surrounds and defends all who fear Him. Taste and see that the LORD is good. Oh, the joys of those who take refuge in Him! Fear the LORD, you His godly people, for those who fear Him will have all they need. Even strong young lions sometimes go hungry, but those who trust in the LORD will lack no good thing. Come, my children, and listen to me, and I will teach you to fear the LORD” (7-11).
Yes please Father. Fearing [Fully Esteeming And Revering] You is how I want to live. Do all You must that I come to trust in You (Proverbs 3:5-6).
The apostle Paul prayed “ …that God, the source of hope, will fill you [the church at Rome] completely with joy and peace because you trust in Him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit” (Romans 15:13).
Hmm… confident hope.
From whence does my help come? “My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth!” (Psalm 121:2).
Thank You Father. Thank You for grounding me. Thank You for giving me just the smallest taste of what life in, with, by, through and for You is like.
Just yesterday I associated the word taste to what we experience with Your goodness. Your grace. Your love. Just the smallest taste of examples. While discussing my thinking, ♪Sabor a Mi♪ seemed the perfect song for this theme. Finding Luis Miguel’s English translation makes it even more so. Thank You Lord.
I love, need, trust and want You. Use me exactly as You know is best. Thank You. Praise You. Amen.
