Waterfalls

Psalm 42:7 Deep calls unto deep at the noise of your waterfalls; All your waves and billows have gone over me. The Lord will command his lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night His song shall be with me--A prayer to the God of my life.

Thank you for the "noise of your waterfalls". The things that are of you call me to come to you and recieve the filling and refreshing of your Spirit. I dive deep with in your waves. I desire to recieve your loving kindness all the day and sing the song of prayer to you at night.

Change: Instead of listing to the negative buzzing world and my own distracting thoughts, I want to make room to notice in awe your lovingkindness all the day towards me.

Know: When I am open to your spirit, I can recieve a seed of joy in my heart; Then my song will not be hard to find.

Psalm 40:8 I delight to do your will, O my God, And your law is within my heart.

This is a simple verse, yet in these stressful times, even the simple things can seem hard if we lose our focus. When I first typed this verse I typed, O God, I left out the important MY. He is MY God, MY daddy. He is bigger than anything going on in my life or your life. Our Abba Father desires us to delight in doing His will. We should actually have JOY in being obedient. He summed it up in two simple things, we are to love him and others.

Sometimes we have the greatest problems in loving those closest to us, our spouses, members of our church, and our family. God calls us to use our faith and step out by loving the ones who have hurt us the most.

If we are to obey him in delight, we have to have the paradigm that He will keep us safe. He will show us how to love, using healthy boundaries and Godly wisdom. Our part is to put His law in our hearts continually and follow the Holy Spirit's leading.
