A Psalm

After a study on King David, and learning how worship was part of his humble character I challenged my small group to write a psalm of their own. Here is the unedited psalm I wrote.

I rest in your unfailing love

There are days that seem so long and the flesh so weak

Praise God for the depth of his faithfulness which surrounds us like a consuming fire!

There are days when heaven seems like an eternity away and all our striving is in vain

Praise God for his richness for he is reward enough for us- still he has promised us good gifts!

There are times of sorrow where the heart longs for something more than the world can give

Praise God for his eternal truth, a treasure that that belongs to the immortal God of heaven!

When God will you return?

When shall Christ ride upon the clouds like a chariot? When shall we meet you in the clouds?

You have said it will be soon but days turn to night and soon seem so far away

Praise you God for your word is true and never fails!

Scoffers mock and the hard of heart seek death for their desires shall be filled by the thing of men

Blasphemers ridicule and the ignorant don’t care

The religious dine on traditions and comforts to soothe their soul but in the end they are sons of hell

The luke warm hold to a form of godliness but they only want you if they can have the world too

Praise you God for the tongue of man has no power over you and your glory will shine!

Praise you God that all things will be exposed for you are a Father of lights!

Praise you God that for those who overcome, the second death will not harm us at all!

Praise you God that your grace is more beautiful than crystal seas and ocean sunsets!

Praise you God that you understand all things and that our fragile estate does not escape you!

I will praise you in the midst of scoffers

I will not deny you before those who blaspheme

I will seek you among the religious knowing that what soothes the soul is not of men

I will endure the ignorant and not stumble over the hard hearted

I will challenge the lukewarm and press on to hotter degrees

And how can it be except that I fall upon your grace and rest in your unfailing love!
