The Earth will bring forth its Praise
In the Psalms many of David's songs began in distress and concluded in victory. He journeyed from where he was to the throne, to the temple.
Israel sang his psalms as they journey from their homeland every year to the temple where they brought sacrific and were released from their sins for one more year. There is a progression in the psalms.
The following devotions are from Betty Slade's poetry books, "Within the Veil" and the second volumn "In His Presence".
A Pilgrim
Just a pilgrim passing through
The bounds of mere man
The rules of mere doctrine
Time given to mere earth.
This pilgrim has travelled
through time and space
to the heavenly city of faith.
The reality of life with God.
Operating ouside of time
As we submit to His purpose and plan
He passes talent
knowledge
and strength
To do exceedingly abundant of what
He asks or thinks,
according to the power
that works in tis mere pilgrim.

Snow in the Branches
The Journey~~~~Walk the Talk My promised land contained snow, lots of snow, four feet of snow every winter. At first, I hated the snow, but I knew the Lord had planted in at the foot of the Rocky Mountains, near Wolf Creek Pass which boast of having 200 feet in a season.
I had to make peace with the snow. It was not going away soon, in fact it lingered until April every year.
To be in the Lord's hands was to trust Him for His plan. I did and today, I wouldn't live anywhere else. In the valley of trouble is now my vineyard. It is exactly the place I need to be and where I am most fulfilled.
"In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind." Job 12:10
