more from the psalms...

The reading through of the Psalms... has me recognizing a shift in my spirit...

Cast your burden on the Lord [releasing the weight of it]

and He will sustain you...

Psalm 55:22 Amp

Following a stormy night...

a 5 1/2 hour power outage...

an out of sorts morning...

and a trip to the dentist...

I recognize a peace... a lack of anxiety... which I would have had to battle... as little as a year ago...

Have I learned... to cast my burden on Him...?

In God, Whose word I praise, in the Lord, Whose word I praise,

In God have I put my trust and confident reliance;

I will not be afraid.

Psalms 56:10-11 Amp

Have I grown... in my ability to trust Him...?

For You have delivered my life from death, yes,

and my feet from falling, that I may walk before God

in the light of life and of the living.

Psalm 56:13 Amp

Do I understand... more fully what He has done for me...? His love...? His eternal perspective...?

I wonder at my heart resonating with these words... His Words...

I thank Him... and praise Him... for working in me... for His patience... with me...

I will praise and give thanks to You, O Lord, among the peoples;

I will sing praises to You among the nations.

For Your mercy and loving-kindness are great,

reaching to the heavens,

and Your truth and faithfulness to the clouds.

Psalm 57:9-10 Amp

Amen...
