Psalms

The Psalms are played out on the daily strings of our lives. Life threads woven. The lightning hits the mark. The waves stop at His command. The sadness of disease in a loved one. Our sin ever grievous to a merciful Savior. Afflictions and heartache from enemies. The love of God. The mercy of God. The tender care of a Shepherd over us. His protection from the storms--real and potential.

How great is our God who loves us and cares for us. I was struck the other morning with the deepest knowledge that God loves me, a wretched sinner, deserving of the hottest hell. And yet He has covered my sin in Christ. And loves me. Loves ME. How? Amazing Grace.

I praise Him for forgiveness and continued faithfulness.

In Christ!
