My Heart Is Steadfast

Sustaining Hope
Dark Nights of the Soul

Even So, My Redeemer Lives

Psalm 57:7-11  The Message

^7-8 I’m ready, God, so ready,
    ready from head to toe,
Ready to sing, ready to raise a tune:
    “Wake up, soul!
Wake up, harp! wake up, lute!
    Wake up, you sleepyhead sun!”

^9-10 I’m thanking you, God, out loud in the streets,
    singing your praises in town and country.
The deeper your love, the higher it goes;
    every cloud is a flag to your faithfulness.

¹¹ Soar high in the skies, O God!
    Cover the whole earth with your glory!

 
For Reflection

How real is your faith?  Are you ready to sing a wake-up tune?  Do you thank God every day for your blessings even when the days are not to your liking?  Are you ready to do your part to help God cover the world with compassion, justice and forgiveness?

How willing are you to sacrifice your self  for the glory of God?

Pray

prayers of confession to cleanse your soul.  Pray prayers of thanksgiving for God's opportunities to become righteous.  Pray prayers of intervention so that God will provide you with opportunities to intervene. Pray prayers for wisdom so that God will provide opportunities to become wise.  Pray for silence in the midst of chaos so that you can hear God's whispered call.
