"Praise the LORD, I tell myself, with my whole heart, I will praise his holy name.
Praise the LORD, I tell myself and never forget the good things he does for me.
He forgives all my sins and heals all my diseases.
He ransoms me from death and surrounds me with love and tender mercies.
He fills my life with good things. My youth is renewed like the eagle's.
The LORD gives righteousness and justice to all who are treated unfairly."
Psalm 103:1-6
There are times where the heart is so soft, it is touched by anything that has the fingerprints and the teachings of God. Where the word has been planted and watered and breaks through the soil of a life to bear fruit and it is juicy and filling to anyone who witnesses it.
God's words melt and make the lips speechless. To just hear a song that sings of your faithfulness and love brings one to tears. They are unashamed to kneel and bow.
It's odd the confidence of man. It blows and is confined to one place... the thirsty desert. Those in it are blind to it. We don't knows what awaits us on the other side of the door, or the ticking minutes on the clock, or the opening and closing of eyelids, or the rising and setting of the sun.
The assurance a Christian has sits and rests on prayers and the promises of God which are stepping stones that seem to cross a expanse of unknowns. We get up each morning and pray for a word that will give us the assurance to walk in the all the unknowns. Many times the only thing we see is just the illuminated stone in front of us.
Each step on this path we relinquish more of our perceptions, control, and wants. We become aware of our insecurities and weaknesses and our daily need to walk in God's grace and power. Deeper becomes the reality and understanding the of hope we preach. Deeper we examine the path God has constructed for us to walk with Him so we might see he is trustworthy and his provision is perfect.
Perfect is the will of God. Perfect is his way. Perfect is his love.
