Let me hear of your steadfast love in the morning


'Let me hear of your steadfast love in the morning, for in you I put my trust....' Psalm 143:8 (NRSV)

The Wisteria hung in strands of rich purple blessings from the trellis on the fence, filling the spring fresh morning with a luxurious perfume.

Despite the rain and dust storms of the past two days......this beauty was still there in place today after the sky cleared.

Imigery of Gods love for us.......dispite the storms his love is still there when they clear away and the new day dawns.

Grace and peace from the Lord Jesus Christ.

Those who plan what is good find love and faithfulness

‘Those who plan what is good find love and faithfulness.’ Proverbs 14:22

So true.........
The morning is glorious and God is well and truly up........the only sound in the breaking dawn was that of the black bird calling...as I walked and talked to God, surveying him in all his splendour in nature.............. I left my plans for the day with him.

It is so much easier to front the day in partnership with God.......inviting him into all your plans and intentions.................laying them all before him so he can order them according to HIS plan. .......and whatever the day brings there is always an act of kindness, a joy shared, a deed done that flows from the joint plan of action...

Take this thought with you today:
‘ One small deed accomplished is better than a hundred unfulfilled promises.’ (Rice)

Grace and peace from the Lord Jesus Christ.

Give thanks to the Lord of lords

‘Give thanks to the Lord of lords.....to him who alone does great wonders, his love endures forever.' Psalm 136:3-4

You only have to step out the door on this glorious spring morning to have that line of the psalm fall of your lips.........beautiful, fresh and washed everywhere you look....sun shining, recent rain and birds full of the business of spring...............First thing that comes to mind is that constant ‘thank you Lord’ not just for what beholds me as I go out the back gate, but for all that has gone before..............the good, the hard, the challenges, the blessings...............there is no real word for God’s love..............its best felt in the awe that is followed by silence.....and expressed in actions that flow through us all.

Show that expression of the love that overflows in you....show it to everyone who passes through your day...................show it through the joy of knowing the love of the Lord.

Grace and peace from the Lord Jesus Christ.
