Bless the Lord, O My Soul
Psalm 103:15-18
As for us, our life is like grass. We grow and flourish like a wildflower; then the wind blows on it, and it is gone—no one sees it again. But for those who honour the LORD, his love lasts forever, and his goodness endures for all generations of those who are true to his covenant and who faithfully obey his commands.
What of Today’s Verse…
Forever love is talked about in dime store novels, but only found in God. We tap that reservoir of eternal and divine love through the Holy Spirit, who helps us receive it and share it.
Words of Wisdom
Look beyond…
Look beyond what irritates you, and you’ll find those things that empower you. Look past what frustrates you and begin to uncover what drives you. Look beyond what worries you, and you’ll discover what inspires you. Look beyond what frightens you, and you’ll see what strengthens you.
Look beyond what angers you, and you’ll see what teaches you. Look beyond what saddens you, and you’ll look at the things that bring you joy.
Seeing the good things in life is a matter of looking beyond all the other distractions, frustrations and disappointments. Beyond what is superficial, fleeting and negative are the things of substance, the things that endure, and the things that honestly matter.
Look beyond the surface. Go beyond your first impression. When you seem to be stuck, and it feels that the whole world is conspiring against you, look beyond. Find the real, positive, enduring value that life does indeed have to offer.
Let us Pray:
Everlasting Father, may your love fill your people so the world may know we are Jesus’ disciples. Through him, I pray. Amen.
