Marvelous Beyond Our Wisest, Wildest Ken

October's days this year are a bit of a fog-draped blur...

Below a glimpse of marvels gleaned like jewels of joy, midst grief.

 Ps.118:4&21-24&28-29

Let those who fear the LORD say,

“His loving devotion endures forever.”

I will give You thanks, for You have answered me,

and You have become my salvation.

22The stone the builders rejected

has become the cornerstone.d

23This is from the LORD,

and it is marvelous in our eyes.e

24This is the day that the LORD has made;

we will rejoice and be glad in it...

You are my God, and I will give You thanks.

You are my God, and I will exalt You.

Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good;

His loving devotion endures forever.

(read the whole glorious chapter of Ps.118 HERE)

'This day is from the Lord' and it is marvelously blessed

With the Light of His Word to help us navigate its lease 

Because God's goodness, (Heaven-bent) determines what is best

Oft, earthly gaze misunderstands hues in Love's Masterpiece 

'This day is from the Lord' and it is a marvelous gift

Faith's confidence restored as we believe and stagger not 

The Cornerstone that anchors hope, no circumstance can shift 

God's promises secure the rope that strains 'neath creature-thought 

'This day is from the Lord' and it is marvelous indeed

Grace-ordained race of wait-and-run, while pressing t'ward the Prize  

Where Holy Ground of Harvest frets with freshly fallen seed

And trouble's panting dust begets 'the spark that upward flies'

  

'This day is from the Lord' and it is marvelous, Amen 

 Its evidence none can afford; This, God's mercy's renewed

He works through suffering, for good, beyond our wisest/wildest ken

Then, pray we reply as we should, with humble gratitude

Rom.8:18

I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing

 with the glory that will be revealed in us.

2 Corinthians 4:17
For our light and momentary affliction is producing for us 

an eternal weight of glory that is far beyond comparison.

1 Peter 4:13
But rejoice that you share in the sufferings of Christ, 

so that you may be overjoyed at the revelation of His glory.
