Devotion Psalm 31:14,16 Ritual From Passion

Psalm 31:14,16 – But I trust in you, Lord; I say, “You are my God.”  Let your face shine on your servant; save me in your unfailing love.

I trust in You Lord because you have revealed Yourself to me. It is not possible to know You and not trust You.  One who does not know trust You does not know You.  One who has flickering faith in You has little knowledge of You.  But those who trust in You first, foremost and habitually are those who know You much.   Knowing You comes from yielding to Your call.  No man, on his own, seek out Your home and knock on Your door (Romans 3:11).  No man has sought You who has not been called by You.  You, Precious God, are the call and the way to knowing You.  The man who knows much has tasted the fresh cool water from the pure well that is Your Word and the one who returns to it at every opportunity.  Such a person has only one passion and that is You.  As Your passion was to do the Father’s will, so the one who drinks from Your well is the one who wakes with a heart and soul that calls out to you “You are my God!”

As a child rises in the morning and searches out its father, so I rise and need see Your face shining toward me.  Still in my bedclothes and an unwashed face I call out to You and seek Your embrace.  Your gaze is a beacon that provides the love and guidance I need during the day.  Your face is the cloud that perpetually and always leads me.  If I don’t seek You all day long, I am a child that wanders and finds myself surrounded by danger on all sides.  Yet, You Lord call to me, and come to me, to lead me back to the safe path, to the right path, that You have cleared for me to walk with You!  Oh my God, my precious, sweet and tender God, please walk with me throughout the day, throughout every day, and I will be at peace and have joy in my heart.  You are my food, you are my sustenance, You are my all!  I love you Lord, please walk with me today.  Or rather, and more true, may I consciously and purposely walk with You all day today, and all day every day.

You are my God!  I am in peace.  I love you Lord God!  Thank you for so loving me!  Thank you Lord!

Psalm 150:6 – Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.  Praise the Lord! 

Micah 7:7 – But as for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me. 

Micah 6:8 – He has shown You, O man, what is good; And what does the Lord require of You but to do justly, to love mercy, And to walk humbly with Your God.
