"On my bed I remember you; I think of you through the watches of the night. Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings. My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me." Psalm 63:6-8 I think the most life changing moments of what little time I've spent on earth are the ones that I spent staring into the dark. The mysterious unkown creaks inside my head, breathing fear the way a race horse gasps for air at full gallop. The times of crying out to the Light through the dark are the times that the Mystery to end all mysteries stomps out the fear, shame and anxiety of the [...]

"My soul will be satisfied as with the richest of foods; with singing lips my mouth will praise you." Psalm 63:5 Utter satisfaction lies in the all sufficiency of the prevenient Grace of God. He satisfies with (not bare minimum, but) the very best of the depths of knowledge and provision. The sovereign hand of all authority and power can and will sustain the soul thirsty for Him.

Second by second hope draws this moment to tomorrow, whether it desires it or not. The God of all creation breathes breath into my lungs so that I can pant for Him. And as long as my lungs rise and fall, I will sing and praise the everlasting God. He who chooses whom He pleases to choose [...]

"Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you." Psalm 63:3 The twirling and fishing for all sorts of better-thans seem to often be all that many people are going through life for. Fueled by ambition, determination, and raises from one platform to another (financial or otherwise) seem to be the tunnel vision of many-a-human in the workforce and even the church-force (and home-force for that manner). I'm not in any way down playing positive motivation in any way. I'm just pointing out the greatest motivation I've ever had. It's love, glory, peace, and longing in its deepest, rawest, form. The love of God is a deep raging river that heats up like [...]
