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.

Waiting

Waiting for the early and later rains

Waiting

Wait for the Lord to return,
Wait for the early and later rains.

We wait,
impatient,
enduring, sometimes expectant,
sometimes bewildered,
asking "Why? What do I need to do?"

The "Waiting" most time is more edifying
than the promises.
Waiting
teaches us God's love.
His care,
His heart.

We pass the colors of the rainbow
seeking the pot of gold.
As we rush through life searching
for that pot of gold, we miss
the beauty of life,
the beauty of knowing
the God of the universe,
the God of our hearts,

We run
looking for our ministry!
We want to be effective,
not realizing the effectiveness is in the
Waiting. the way God wants,
waiting for His will to be known,
dying to ourselves.

Let us stand still and see the Salvation of God!

The Journey~~~~Walking the Talk!  We do not realize all of creation is waiting for the sons of God to be revealed. Creation cries for God's revelation in us. We just want to hurry up our present condition. But all the waiting is designed to learn about God, see the faithfulness of God, revealed Himself in us and also that we learn patience so that we lack nothing. The more of Jesus in us, the less we lack.
