your love for us is manifested


' You well deserve the praises of your children, O God.......you that answer prayer.' Psalm 65 (Psalms Now)
Its our humanity that gets in the road when we give up hope, or begin to doubt. I think of the anxious years of the recent drought and our fears we would never see again the abundant spring rains, lush grass and full dams but there it is, God has stayed faithful, he has answered prayer and delivered.................he reached out to save us.
All around we see the power of God in the grandeur of the mountains, the roar of the sea, grain laden fields and new life in all creation yet we doubt and become anxious when we are threatened.
I love this last verse of psalm 65: The meadows are clothed with sheep; and the valleys stay so thick with corn, they shout and sing for joy.
When times are tough we need to stay close to God, right by his side and trust.
Blessings on your day and peace from God the Father.
