Some of the well known Psalms have so much energy, so much to think about, so much hope, so many promises, so many requests and so much love. This one is no exception. Filled with humility, worship, thankfulness and praise – I am always amazed how something that became an inspired, written word so very long ago, can seem so alive and connect so deeply with me today in 2014.
Take time to read and absorb the message and let it sink into you until it finds the place where these words become your words – your prayer to God – as you seek a deeper, more personal relationship with Him.
