‘To You, O LORD, I lift up my soul.
O my God, in You I trust;
let me not be put to shame;
let not my enemies exult over me.
indeed, none who wait for You shall be put to shame;
they shall be ashamed who are wantonly treacherous.'
In my waiting, I still behold the beauty and radiance of God. All those who look to Him are radiant (Ps 34:5)
'Make me to know Your ways, O LORD;
teach me Your paths.
Lead me in Your truth and teach me,
for You are the God of my salvation;
for You I wait all the day long.'
When my face is set upon Him, I walk in His ways, follow His leading, and wait on Him.
'Remember Your mercy, O LORD, and Your steadfast love,
for they have been from of old.
Remember not the sins of my youth or my transgressions;
according to Your steadfast love remember me,
for the sake of Your goodness, O LORD!'
PSALM 25:1-7
For His namesake, the same One who numbers my hairs and catches my tears chooses to remember not my sin.
Thank You, Father, that You are sovereign and You are good. Help us lift our eyes to You, set our trust in Your character and follow Your paths by the power of the Spirit, in Christ’s name, amen.
Looking to Him,
