Sabbath Rest Scripture
Psalm 63
O God, you are my God; I earnestly search for you. My soul thirsts for you; my whole body longs for you in this parched and weary land where there is no water. I have seen you in your sanctuary and gazed upon your power and glory. Your unfailing love is better to me than life itself; how I praise you! I will honor you as long as I live, lifting up my hands to you in prayer. You satisfy me more than the richest of foods. I will praise you with songs of joy. I lie awake thinking of you, meditating on you through the night. I think how much you have helped me; I sing for joy in the shadow of your protecting wings. I follow close behind you; your strong right hand holds me securely.
Reflection of My Heart
How these words of David touch my soul today. I mediate on the goodness of God. How He loves me. Because of His unfailing love, I gladly open my lips in praise. He is so worthy of my praise. God has been so good, His promises are sure. I have deeply gazed upon His power and glory. This leads me to continually seek after Him, my soul is in continuous search of Him, because He is my God an gladly helps me in times of trouble, He satisfies my soul such I feel truly satisfied as I have feasted on the richest of food. God holds me in the shadow of His wings; He is my resting place, my hiding place and my place of restoration. I sing for joy at His goodness and His loving care of me. I joyfully seek to follow close behind Him because His strong right hand is my security, forever holding me unto eternity.
Heart Prayer
Lord Thy God my soul is blessed. Your goodness and Your love smother me,
surrounding me with grace and mercy. My heart is joyous because You are my loving God, wrapping me securely in Your love. Your blessings are wondrous to my soul, making me glad. I stand in awe of You O my God, forever amazed by Your acts of love. To You O God I give all glory and praise, keep me earnestly seeking You and let Your dwelling place be my sanctuary of rest. In the precious, holy name of Jesus I pray. Sabbath Quietness

Hi Sis,
(((Hugz))) Oh it is such a blessing to see you posting for Spiritual Sundays again. I love this psalm, you know I was truly going through a time of weariness and felt so much like I was in a parched desert. Like David I had to speak to my soul about being so downcasted. The Lord is faithful even when we feel he is so faraway he is as near as he can be within each of us. I thank the Lord for you and I pray that in all the Lord gives you, you will continue to inspire us and may your anointing flow over your hands as you write what has been spoken from our heavenly father.
Luv Ya Lorie
