Our God

Instead of surfing facebook and playing Word Scramble on my phone, I opened up my bible tonight where I had some pictures stuck in. First of all, FINDING my bible was a huge goal met. I realized I hadn't seen it in...oh, quite a while. But I found it and God just picked up right up where we left off like a good conversation, and I wanted to share a bit.

Psalm 116

I love God because He listened to me, listened as I begged for mercy. He listened so intently as I laid out my case before him. Death stared me in the face, hell was hard on my heels. Up against it, I didn't know which way to turn, then I called out to God for help. "Please, God!" I cried out. "Save my life!" God is gracious--it is He who makes things right, our most compassionate God. God takes the side of the helpless, when I was at the end of my rope, He saved me.

I said to myself, "Relax and rest. God has showered you with many blessings. Soul, you've been rescued from death. Eye, you've been rescued from tears. And you, Foot, were kept from stumbling."

I'm striding in the presence of God, alive in the land of the living!


Wonderful, yes?

So is this song. I love it. Enjoy.
