Devotion Psalm 42:1-,9 Mind And Eyes On God

Psalm 42:1-5, 8 – As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God.  2 My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.  When can I go and meet with God? 3 My tears have been my food day and night, while people say to me all day long, “Where is your God?” 4 These things I remember as I pour out my soul: how I used to go to the house of God under the protection of the Mighty One with shouts of joy and praise among the festive throng.  5 Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.  By day the Lord directs his love, at night his song is with me—a prayer to the God of my life.

Psalm 5:3 – In the morning, Lord, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly.

Psalm 59:16 – But I will sing of your strength, in the morning I will sing of your love; for you are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble.

Psalm 143:8 – Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I entrust my life.

Our eyes oh Lord,

Are focused on You!

The terrors of the world,

They are transparent,

Through them we see only you.

Through everything in the world,

We always see you.

Though the earth shakes,

As the floods increase,

As the pestilence preys,

We cannot fear,

Only you hold our gaze.

You Almighty God,

Are what we focus upon.

With our sight and with our minds,

You are the beauty we see.

In doing such,

We are at peace.

Oh to see and hear the tempest,

To be amidst the rage of the waves,

To be aghast at the power,

And yet walk in total peace,

That comes from a heart,

Whose beat is aligned,

With the heart of God.

Gazing up to the stars

The face of God looks back,

It is both frightening and peace giving,

Both breath-taking and

Heart-calming.

Hold the gaze,

See His eyes,

See His love!

9/15/19

Fulfillment is attained,

Through His embrace,

A transfusion of love,

Like hugging electricity

Change is inevitable
