daily prayer

Good morning!!! How are we faithing? During turmoil alot of us want to see a sign that God is still with us. This is a searching type of mental position and sometimes it is fine and others it can be distracting to the point of missing subtlety's used by God. Signs like an ark floating by or lightning strikes or even the Hallelujah chorus heard when a revelation is seen are Hollywood type of images. Signs such as exuberance in the midst of calamity and or a sense of contentment even when we would thing one would be in despair are tangible things we see and often fail to recognise. The peace that passes all understanding is so indescribable and so uplifting that explaining it is pretty much impossible but we can see it and can feel it when we take the second to see it. The Psalms are so full of truths as well as very poetic. Psalms disclose the heart of the writer in despair and in happiness. Look at these and look beyond the surface elegance into the heart of the writer;

Psalms 25:14
The secret of the LORD is for those who fear Him,
And He will make them know His covenant.
NAS

Remember our discussion on the word fear? This one is used as "reverence".

Psalms 27:13-14
I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the LORD
In the land of the living.
Wait for the LORD;
Be strong, and let your heart take courage;
Yes, wait for the LORD.
NAS

Psalms 86:17
Show me a sign for good,
That those who hate me may see it, and be ashamed,
Because Thou, O LORD, hast helped me and comforted me.
NAS

Man...
