Reality Checkup

Ps.103:11

For as the heavens are high above the earth, 

So great is His mercy toward those who fear Him;

CN Tower, Toronto, Ontario

It’s easy to find in life’s day-to-day grind

Of lessons that teach what they must

So many a reason, no matter the season

To fret rather than pray and trust

Its easy to miss in the muddle and kiss

Of hurry and worry and more

Midst giving and taking and dream-castles breaking

The Hand that is holding the door

Where doom and mayday groom longing with dismay

It’s easy to shift our gaze

From ‘Greater is He’ to the trouble we see

On pedestals of Numbered Days

It’s easy to be overcome with the plea

And thus, numbed to mercies that pour

God’s goodness unfurled in a beautiful world

That thunders with wonders galore

Psalm 117:2
For great is His loving devotion toward us,

 and the faithfulness of the LORD endures forever.

 Hallelujah!
