All You Who Hope In The Lord

5/1/2014

Sistine Madonna, Raphael, 1512

How great is Your goodness, Which You have stored up for those who fear You, Which You have wrought for those who take refuge in You, Before the sons of men! You hide them in the secret place of Your presence from the conspiracies of man; You keep them secretly in a shelter from the strife of tongues. Blessed be the LORD, For He has made marvelous His lovingkindness to me in a besieged city. As for me, I said in my alarm, "I am cut off from before Your eyes;" Nevertheless You heard the voice of my supplications When I cried to You. O love the LORD, all you His godly ones!

The LORD preserves the faithful And fully recompenses the proud doer. Be strong and let your heart take courage, All you who hope in the LORD.

Psalm 31:19-24

Oh,that is my one task now, and it's ever on my mind: staying with, walking with, taking all comfort in My Lord. No faith except in my Truest Love...
a piece of today's mass reading psalm 16:

I bless the LORD who gives me counsel; in the night also my heart instructs me.
8 I keep the LORD always before me; because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my soul rejoices; my body also dwells secure.

these used to be nice and good words to me, now they are becoming my daily bread, my wisdom, my reality.
Staying in the presence of the Lord,and cultivating Humility.
and a watch on my tongue!
ok there are really about 25 things i'm focusing on.
But this blog post is right for me, right now.

Thanks!

Daily Bread and Reality. That is so nice, Katy! I know, watching my tongue is the hardest part. It's the heart you've mastered, Katy! It sounded a wonderful mass. Thank you for sharing your insight here!
