a blue skied morning

Psalm 130:1-8 NIV

Out of the depths I cry to you, Lord; Lord, hear my voice.
Let your ears be attentive
to my cry for mercy. If you, Lord, kept a record of sins,
Lord, who could stand? But with you there is forgiveness,
so that we can, with reverence, serve you. I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits,
and in his word I put my hope. I wait for the Lord
more than watchmen wait for the morning,
more than watchmen wait for the morning. Israel, put your hope in the Lord,
for with the Lord is unfailing love
and with him is full redemption. He himself will redeem Israel
from all their sins.

I decided to start with Psalm 130. Its so amazing the love God has for us. This morning the blue skies glistened outside. Yes, it was still chilly but drinking in the morning is intoxicating. We all fall short. Its inevitable. We all have our moments when we get nasty and jump down peoples throats and treat people like crap. I surely know ive had those moments. Over the last 48 hours my life has been in a whirlwind. So many things need to get done. So many things need packed. I cant keep up with everything. I used to get stressed out about these things but not anymore. Today is what you make of it. And i am staying prayed up and blessed! Psalm 130 talks about how we are not worthy of Gods mercy and his grace. Like the fig tree that bears no fruit. It is cut down and cast into the fire. WOAH. We are like that fig tree. We deserve to be cut down and cast into the fire but God wont put us there. He loves us so much that he patiently waits for us to come to him. That is so amazing. We deserve death but in him he gives us new life.
So today i challenge you: pray! Prayer is the key to turning our lives around. Ask God into your heart. Seek his face. Knock kindly on the door and see what God has planned for you!
Blessings to all :)'>Psalm 130:1-8 NIV
