Reflecting on Psalm 16:5-6

Mon, 28 Jan 2008 14:56:40 GMT

She smiled to herself as she watched
the pile of string grow ever higher in her lap.
She worked steadily on large needles,
slipping stitch by stitch the continental way.
And her thoughts settled.
She was at Peace ---
because "the lines for her had fallen in pleasant places" -
and she was content.

She reflected on the passage she had read earlier
in the day and breathed in the goodness
of her "inheritance" - the Lord Himself.
Her portion and her cup were more than enough
to fill the emptiness that tugged at her heart.

She thought ... "the Lord - the Creator of the Universe -
who has made me Steward - Teacher - Mother - Sister -
of beautiful daughters,
affectionate pets,
loyal friends,
a beautiful homeland and
a home of my own -
calls me his and fills my cup.
He maintains my lot.
I have no reason to fear or fret or dread.
He knows the sparrows -
of course He knows me."

She sighs deeply and drinks in the goodness
of the morning spent at the Saviors table and rejoices -
"Yes, I have a good inheritance."

And I am not alone.

I am His.

Amen.

I'm Here - Sort of ...

and His mercies come with it.
He is giving me Hope.
And He is making me a Future.
And it begins with the Love of
True Friends and Family - and
a move to the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia!

That's all for today .... I've much to do to
ready myself - my Heart, my Mind, my Soul.

Thank you for the prayers -
'cause I know you've said them ....
I FELT them in my heart as it began the journey
towards healing.

Thirty Years ago?
I was his 19 year old bride.

Today?
I'm the gum he wants
to scrape off his shoe.

Psalm 84:12 "... blessed is the one who trust in you!"

Blessed.
Just what is being blessed?
A sense of contentment?
A full cup?
Peace?
Is it abundance - or over abundance?
Is it physical?
Spiritual?
Mental?
Is it tangible?
Or a state of mind?

Trust.
Believing.
Relying on.
Turning to.
Stepping out onto a bridge that isn't
even complete.
Knowing the 'brick and mortar' required
to finish the job is supplied by a loving God.
A God who asks that I call Him Father.

The greatest blessing?
Trusting.
Trust in God.
THAT fills me up!
Gives me peace,
and makes me lie down in green pastures
of Contentment.

Surely -
blessed is the one who trust in God!

Amen.
