Liverpool Waterfront at Sunrise – Dave Wood, Liverpool Pictorial
God, my heart is ·steady [steadfast; ready].
I will sing and ·praise [play a psalm for] you ·with all my being [L as will my soul/or glory].
2 Wake up, harp and lyre!
I will wake up the dawn.
3 Lord, I will ·praise [thank] you among the ·nations [peoples];
I will sing ·songs of praise [psalms] about you to all the nations.
4 Your great ·love [loyalty] ·reaches to [is greater than] the ·skies [heavens],
your ·truth [faithfulness] to the heavens.
5 God, you are ·supreme [exalted] above the ·skies [heavens].
Let your glory [C manifest presence] be over all the earth [57:5–11]. Psalm 108 EXB
Awake ! One of the stanzas of A Morning Prayer by Thomas Ken stands out to me today.
Lord, I my vows to thee renew; disperse my sins as morning dew; guard my first springs of thought and will, and with thyself my spirit fill.
Fill.
7 [L But] We have this treasure ·from God, but we are like clay jars that hold the treasure [L in clay jars]. This shows that the ·great [extraordinary; transcendent] power is from God, not from us. 8 We have ·troubles all around us [or all kinds of troubles/trials], but we are not ·defeated [crushed]. We ·do not know what to do [are perplexed/bewildered], but we do not ·give up the hope of living[despair]. 2 Corinthians 4 EXB
We cry out to be filled. And so much can fill us, but today? Today, let us choose to be filled with His Spirit.
Let us give thanks.
I will praise (thank) You!
Hang on to your hearts. I realized that my last two blog posts didn’t have my thankfuls..
