Psalm 36
1Transgression speaks to the ungodly within his heart;
There is no fear of God before his eyes.
2For it flatters him in his own eyes
Concerning the discovery of his iniquity and the hatred of it.
3The words of his mouth are wickedness and deceit;
He has ceased to be wise and to do good.
4He plans wickedness upon his bed;
He sets himself on a path that is not good;
He does not despise evil.
5Your lovingkindness, O LORD, extends to the heavens,
Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
6Your righteousness is like the mountains of God;
Your judgments are like a great deep
O LORD, You preserve man and beast.
7How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God!
And the children of men take refuge in the shadow of Your wings.
8They drink their fill of the abundance of Your house;
And You give them to drink of the river of Your delights.
9For with You is the fountain of life;
In Your light we see light.
10O continue Your lovingkindness to those who know You,
And Your righteousness to the upright in heart.
11Let not the foot of pride come upon me,
And let not the hand of the wicked drive me away.
12There the doers of iniquity have fallen;
They have been thrust down and cannot rise.

Sorry girls for another late post. This weekend has been a rollercoaster of emotions for me. But God is still and always will be good. =) I'm listening to "Glory in the highest" by Chris Tomlin as I right this to block out the noise from the living room. This psalm talks about me...it talks about you and it talks about all of man. Before God gave us light to see light, we were ungodly. We did not fear God, all that we saw was through our own eyes and knowledge, all that we spoke were words of deceit, and all that we planned was not good. Girls, to think that we were walking toward evil! We were walking towards hell. I am so glad that the psalm doesn't end there...that our lives don't end at verse 4. Only the lovingkindness of God which reaches to the heavens could cover and take away my sins which reach to the heavens. Only by God' Word, by His covenants, are man and beast preserved from devastating waters...and are now being kept from the fire until the day of judgment. How precious is our salvation girls...that children of faulty men could become children of the perfect God. God satisfies. God gives us joy. God lets us see things in a new light. He protects us from ourselves and from those who do not know what love is...love that sacrifices everything to bring you to the best thing...God. Whatever you're going through girls...your trials...your hurts...your worries...know that God is good. Really know it...in the depths of your heart and soul. We have the love of God. Such things are too wonderful for us. I love you girls. Let's strive harder to love our great, great God.
