27:4 Praises to God"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Psalm 27:4<\/p>\n<p>Surely Lord the words of King David<br \/>\nResonate within me<br \/>\n\u201cOne thing, I ask of the Lord,<br \/>\nThis is what I seek:<br \/>\nThat I may dwell in the house of the Lord<br \/>\nAll the days of my life,<br \/>\nTo gaze upon the beauty of the Lord<br \/>\nand to seek Him in His temple.\u201d<br \/>\nOh my Lord is there anything more beautiful?<br \/>\nIs there no higher calling,<br \/>\nThen to live at your feet,<br \/>\nGazing upon your beauty,<br \/>\nBasking in your love,<br \/>\nBeing surrounded by the power of Your might,<br \/>\nWarmed and secure in Your love,<br \/>\nWaiting in active anticipation,<br \/>\nOf Your direction to me?<br \/>\nHow shall I not be happy<br \/>\nIn hearing your direction to me?<br \/>\nFor I have received of God Almighty,<br \/>\nHe who alone is God.<br \/>\nMen will ask \u201cWhere have you been?\u201d<br \/>\nI will respond \u201cI have been and I remain,<br \/>\nIn the Throne room<br \/>\nOf the God Almighty.<br \/>\nI have been at the Feet of my Father<br \/>\nAt the Feet of my Lord and Savior and<br \/>\nLovingly Held by His Spirit.<br \/>\nEnraptured am I to gaze on the majesty of God!<br \/>\nHis Spirit engulfs and surrounds me with His love.<br \/>\nWhere the Love of God is,<br \/>\nThere is no fear.<br \/>\nThough I am in awe of<br \/>\nThe only God Almighty<br \/>\nOf His great power and fierce strength,<br \/>\nI will not fear.<br \/>\nHe has directed His love to me,<br \/>\nShall a child fear the great strength of his Father?<br \/>\nRather the child is comforted by the strength of His Father<br \/>\nHis children rest secure in the shadow of their Father,<br \/>\nKnowing that with all his power and might<br \/>\nHe shall defend them.<br \/>\nWith all His resources He will feed them.<br \/>\nIn the heat of the day<br \/>\nWith gentle hands He offers them<br \/>\nCool drinks of living water.<br \/>\nWhen the Father sends out his children<br \/>\nPeople will ask \u201cWhat is your mission\u201d?<br \/>\n\u201cMy mission is to do the will of my Father\u201d<br \/>\nThen they ask \u201cHow will you accomplish it<br \/>\nFor great is the opposition?\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cNot by my might, not by my power, but by the Spirit of my Father.<br \/>\nIt is the authority of my Father who goes before me.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cWho is your Father?\u201d they inquire.<br \/>\n\u201cMy Father is He who created all.<br \/>\n\u201cMighty is my Father who created all living things.<br \/>\nAll creation is my Father\u2019s.<br \/>\nThe earth you stand on<br \/>\nThe air you breathe<br \/>\nYou yourself<br \/>\nHave been created by my Father.<br \/>\nIt is by my Father\u2019s great mercy<br \/>\nThat you were born and that you live.<br \/>\nThe food you eat is granted to you<br \/>\nBy my Father.\u201d<br \/>\nThey then ask \u201cHow has He supplied to me<br \/>\nFor I have not known Him?\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cMy Father is good and gracious.<br \/>\nEven to those who have not called to Him<br \/>\nHe is good and gracious.<br \/>\nTo those who have not honored Him<br \/>\nHe is kind and patient.<br \/>\nHowever you have known of my Father.<br \/>\nWhen you gazed at the majesty of the sky<br \/>\nHe spoke to you.<br \/>\nDuring the heat of the day<br \/>\nWhen the cool wind blew over you<br \/>\nUnder the shade of one of His trees<br \/>\nHe touched you.<br \/>\nWhen the child was born<br \/>\nMy Father was revealed.<br \/>\nWhen looking at the animals and plants<br \/>\nOf the world,<br \/>\nMy Father has called out to you.<br \/>\nWhen studying the smallest of things<br \/>\nUnder a microscope<br \/>\nThere my Father is found.<br \/>\nHe created the mighty whale<br \/>\nWhose songs make manifest<br \/>\nThe glory of my Father.<br \/>\nSurely you have seen my Father and<br \/>\nYou have heard My Father\u2019s song<br \/>\nIn the songs He has placed within<br \/>\nSongbirds who sing in the morning and at night.<br \/>\nWhen alone you have cried out,<br \/>\nIt is He who has heard you.<br \/>\n\u2018Who is your Father\u2019 they have asked.<br \/>\n\u201cHe is the King of Glory,<br \/>\nHe is the Ancient of Days,<br \/>\nHe is the Lord of Lords,<br \/>\nThe King of Kings,<br \/>\nThe Savior of all who come.<br \/>\nHis Spirit lives within me<br \/>\nAnd within all His Children.<br \/>\nIt is from my Father that I have come.<br \/>\nIt is to do His will that I go forth.<br \/>\nIt is to Him shall I return,<br \/>\nTo gaze upon His beauty,<br \/>\nAnd be in awe of Who He Is.<br \/>\nHe is the great I AM,<br \/>\nThe Ever Becoming One,<br \/>\nThe God Who Is,<br \/>\nWho Will Be Who He Will Be.<br \/>\nHe is my Father who is mighty,<br \/>\nWho stoops to soothe His children.<br \/>\nHe I serve.<br \/>\nHe I love.<br \/>\nHe is who calls me home.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cWhere shall you go after doing your Father\u2019s work?\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cI shall return where I have never left,<br \/>\nTo my Father\u2019s feet.<br \/>\nI dwell at the foot of His throne and<br \/>\nThere I shall live forever.<br \/>\nForever shall I dwell there<br \/>\nSecure in His love and peace.<\/p>\n<p>IHS
