Water for My Soul
“The law of the Lord is
perfect, reviving the soul.” Ps. 19:7
The
heavens speak: they say, "God is glorious!"
The
sky shows off the artistry of God and His creation.
Day
comes and talks to me.
Night
arrives, carrying knowledge for my benefit.
Their
silent language is heard, forming words of God's creation.
Those
words extend throughout the earth, forming a canopy for the sun.
Each
day the sun comes out of the canopy like a man on his wedding day;
Like
an athlete, well-trained and ready for the race,
Both
are filled with joy.
From
sunrise to sunset, nothing is hidden from its penetrating light.
Its
warmth soothes my bones.
In
the creation of God I am pointed to the true law of the Lord.
The Lord's
law of love is water for my soul.
The
certainty of the sun gives testimony - even I gain wisdom!
His
truths are accurate, filling my heart with joy.
His
instructions for my life are true, opening my eyes to see in a whole new way.
All
who revere the Lord last and live forever.
His
game plan for my life guarantees victory.
His
truths, testimonies and instructions are the most precious jewels to me,
sweeter than honey.
They
provide me warning and reward.
As I
gaze from the heavens to stare at myself, how can I know for sure all my
mistaken ways?
Glorious
God, please find me innocent of hidden faults.
Restrain
me from blatant sin and keep it from controlling my life.
I
want to be found Not Guilty.
May
my life, spoken and silent, be pleasing to You, for You have rescued me and
have never left me.
