2-7-22   THOUGHTS

I feel a need for the larger picture this morning.  Seeing God is far more important than seeing me. My world needs to be seen in the light of HIS WORLD, not the other way around.   The view of eternity must always precede the view of the day!

Ps 143:8   Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee.
Isa 40:21-31     Do you not know? Have you not heard? Has it not been declared to you from the beginning? Have you not understood from the foundations of the earth?   22  It is He who sits above the circle of the earth, And its inhabitants are like grasshoppers, Who stretches out the heavens like a curtain And spreads them out like a tent to dwell in. 23  He it is who reduces rulers to nothing, Who makes the judges of the earth meaningless.  24  Scarcely have they been planted, Scarcely have they been sown, Scarcely has their stock taken root in the earth, But He merely blows on them, and they wither, And the storm carries them away like stubble.  25  "To whom then will you liken Me That I would be his equal?" says the Holy One. 26  Lift up your eyes on high And see who has created these stars, The One who leads forth their host by number, He calls them all by name; Because of the greatness of His might and the strength of His power, Not one of them is missing. 27  Why do you say, O Jacob, and assert, O Israel, "My way is hidden from the LORD, And the justice due me escapes the notice of my God"? 28  Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth Does not become weary or tired. His understanding is inscrutable. 29  He gives strength to the weary, And to him who lacks might He increases power. 30  Though youths grow weary and tired, And vigorous young men stumble badly,  31  Yet those who wait for the LORD Will gain new strength; They will mount up with wings like eagles, They will run and not get tired, They will walk and not become weary.
Ps 18:1-3a     "I love You, O LORD, my strength." 2  The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, My God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. 3  I call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised,

My Prayer:
We praise you O God, the Rock to whom we flee.  We lift up our eyes to you, our creator.  We trust in you O Lord, show us the way that we should walk.  We are tired, may we borrow from your infinite strength O God!  Help us to mount up with wings as eagles.  Revive us daily O Lord.             In Jesus precious name,     Amen
