Wait on the Lord: be of good courage,
and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.
PSALM 27:14
Last night, here in the Northeast, we had a soft snowfall that although significant in inches, it was the gentlest, and most beautiful snow storm I’ve witnessed in awhile.
I awoke at 3 am as my puppy was “circling” wishing to do his business, not wanting to disturb my husband who was clearly into his REM sleep, I brought him out into our backyard area. Both my dog and I were mesmerized by the snow falling majestically unto the trees and ground. My puppy because he’s fascinated with romping in the snow…but I was connected to the storm for an entirely different reason. It was perfect, and stunning, and took my breath away. The moonlight and snow combined made it seem like mid-afternoon instead of early morning hours before dawn.
It wasn’t cold, in fact, it was almost a “balmy” type atmosphere. As Mickey rushed around trying to decide on a “spot” in which to potty I was transfixed at how “still” it was. The quiet was in fact, as they say, “deafening” — so much so, that I heard the rhythm of my heart beating. As I was drawn into that moment in time… I said in a soft voice, “Hello God.”
Yes, this is God.
Snow, beauty, light…and peace.
Heart beating for His heart.
Quiet, and peace are His trademarks and characteristics along with an all consuming love.
The peace and love I felt was a “God moment.”
We all have them, and have experienced them throughout our lifetime.
And, if you haven’t you will, eventually. God is always with us.
He is there as you gaze upon His landscape of beauty.
His masterpiece calls out to us saying, “Be still and know that I am God” (Psalm 46:10)
His heart apparent and His love apparent.
This is GOD. This is our Father. This is our LORD.
Love. Peace. Joy. Tranquility.
“Dear Father God, we love You, and Your ways, we thank You for who You are, and what You do and what You’ve done since the beginning of time, shine Your light and cover us with Your truth, wisdom, strength, and love, You alone are the Holy One, and You alone are worthy of all praise, thank You for the Victory in Christ, and for all of Your masterpieces in this lifetime and beyond, in Jesus name we pray, Amen.”
Psalm 27:1 -14 (KJV)
The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.
Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident. One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in his temple.
For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock. And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the Lord.
Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, Lord, will I seek.
Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.
When my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will take me up.
Teach me thy way, O Lord, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies.
Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.
I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.
Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.

Reading Psalms brings joy and peace to my heart. And, knowing God is with me all the time of my life here and always brings peace to me no matter what I be going through, that’s for sure, I know He is with me always. He will give us a new heart and a new name. Amen.
Psalms is the heart of the Bible when it comes to feeling and understanding the depth of emotions that God’s people have gone through, and still are going through to this day in time. It is moving, loving, turbulent and peaceful…it is a myriad of emotions that transcend as you read. Mostly, it is in Praise of Him and His glory.
Amen,

Great Psalm at the end
God is very gentle and loving…oh yes! He is peace, and the Author of it! How can we fear death when we LIVE forever through Christ, thanks to His mercy and sacrifice for us. His will for our lives, now and always. Amen.
