Greetings from Austin Street

TGIF Today God is First!  All is well here at 811. I took off the finger splint and will attempt to do some writing.

The candle is lit…

Good and great God, you are everything to me. You set the stars in place. You live in my heart. Thank you that every exultant praise makes a beautiful song of praise to your faithfulness.  I love you Lord, in Jesus’ name, amen.

I love the psalms. They are the prayers of God’s people to God. They contain praises, laments, anger, joy, worship and thankfulness.  If we read the psalms we will find our own prayers written in the ancient scriptures. But no matter what, each of the Psalms has one thing in common. They all express belief in God. We will find our doubt as we cry out to God with our troubles and our songs of praise as God helps us and gives us the desires of our hearts.  When we believe in God we are living psalms with the theme of our lives being God’s faithfulness to us.  I think that some day when we meet God face to face through Jesus that we will find that God has never failed us. We might not always understand at the time, but we serve a God of truth, faithfulness, eternal presence and unfailing love.

So my friends let our lives be songs of praise to God being written through the circumstances of our lives.  God is our creator, sustainer and holds us in the palm of his hand whose faithfulness to us is far greater than we could ever imagine.  How great is our God. Sing with me, how great is our God and all will see how great, how great is our God.

“Happy are those who hear the joyful call to worship, for they will walk in the light of your presence, Lord.”

Psalm 89: 15

“Because of you, they rejoice all day long, and they praise you for your goodness. You give us great victories; in your love you make us triumphant.”

Psalm 89: 16-17

Take joy in the journey singing and praying as you go. Let us become living psalms of faithfulness. Wear comfortable shoes and get some sleep. Love you all, Bruce and Gaylene
