He is gracious in all He does
the Lord helps the fallen
and lifts those bent beneath their
loads
the eyes of all look to You in hope
You give them their food as they
need it
when You open Your hand
You will satisfy the hunger and thirst
of every living thing
the Lord is righteous in everything He
does
He is filled with kindness
the Lord is close to all who call on Him
yes to all who call on Him in truth
He grants the desires of those who fear
Him
He hears their cries for help and
rescues them"
Psalm 145:13-19
so much hope
hope flows from words
words flow from hope
promises covering literally
any circumstance or need
or emotion
are there for the
taking
what if for even one day
this heart would not only pray
these promises of hope but would
live these promises of hope...
what if for even one day
this heart would believe
with assurance undying
that each promise is in fact truth
that each promise will be kept...
for is that not what He says He will do?
and either He is or He is not.
either He exists or He does not.
either He is faithful or He is not.
end of story.
in times of plenty
in times of blessing
in times of sunshine
His promises tend to
be easier to believe
yet is it not in times of need
in times of struggle
in the middle of the storm
is this not when His promises ring
with truth most certain and solid?
for when the sky is darkest
is not His love light most
brilliant?
glistening?
shimmering?
that is His love!
that is the glorious
furious
lavish
love of our
Abba!
