Oh, the joys of those who trust the LORD,
who have no confidence in the proud, or in those who worship idols.O LORD my God, you have done many miracles for us.
Your plans for us are too numerous to list.
If I tried to recite all your wonderful deeds,
I would never come to the end of them.– Psalm 40:3-4 (NLT)
It’s really good tonight to read God’s word!
And it’s good to be in His family. To be identified with God – to trust in Him and take no confidence in the gods of this world. It’s such a privilege. I’m reminded of Psalm 87: “This one was born in Zion.”
I picture the Lord wrapping His arms around His child and saying “this one’s Mine”. Mine – born in Zion. A Kingdom child of the promise.
God’s goodness and mercies toward us really are too numerous to count. Others may choose the gods of this world. I choose (or am chosen by, for reasons I’ll never fathom) the Lord of the Universe.
“For I was born in Zion
Awakened love is crying
Out for You. Oh it must be You!” – David Ruis, “No Other”
