The past week has been entirely lackluster
as far as the weather goes!
I am so glad our joy is not weather-dependent!
Do you ever find yourself laughing,
agape with sweet joy
as you read God's ancient words and promises,
ever new
full of grace and truth,
written for me and you?!
He is the Greatest God by far!
(Why are we so prone to put other gods before Him?!!💔)
The Lord is good,
a refuge in times of trouble.
He cares for those who trust in him,
a refuge in times of trouble.
He cares for those who trust in him,
Do not rejoice over me, my enemy;
When I fall, I will arise;
When I sit in darkness,
The LORD will be a light to me.
(click link to read the whole glorious chapter)
Rejoice in the LORD, O righteous ones;
it is fitting for the upright to praise Him.
2Praise the LORD with the harp;
make music to Him with ten strings.
3Sing to Him a new song;
play skillfully with a shout of joy.
4For the word of the LORD is upright,
and all His work is trustworthy.
5The LORD loves righteousness and justice;
the earth is full of His loving devotion.
Our God is wonderful
The Greatest God by far
He knows and loves and meets us all
Exactly where we are
No secret place exists
Beyond the gaze of He
Who drapes the earth in scarves of mist
And gathers up the sea
He does not shut His eye
As some are wont to think
But fills the scrolls of earth and sky
With inimitable ink
His poetry confounds
None able to ignore
His majesty that knows no bounds
Yet points to so much more
The Lord is good, and knows
Each one that trusts in Him
Though darkness strikes a hostile pose
His Light no depth can dim
Faith marvels at His Word
And feasts upon His grace
A gift, precious and undeserved
To salvage human race
No forgetful God, He
But wonderful and true
His delight, kindness and mercy
To likes of me and you
Oft obstinate and proud
Oft unthankful and vain
He stirs the dust of Heaven’s cloud
And kisses earth with rain
For He is wonderful
The Greatest God by far
He cares and loves to meet us all
Exactly where we are
