Message From The Sky

(View Daily Bread)
Psalm 19 (NIV)
For the director of music. A psalm of David.

1 The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
2 Day after day they pour forth speech;
night after night they display knowledge.
3 There is no speech or language
where their voice is not heard.
4 Their voice goes out into all the earth,
their words to the ends of the world.

In the heavens he has pitched a tent for the sun,
5 which is like a bridegroom coming forth from his pavilion,
like a champion rejoicing to run his course.
6 It rises at one end of the heavens
and makes its circuit to the other;
nothing is hidden from its heat.

7 The law of the Lord is perfect,
reviving the soul.
The statutes of the Lord are trustworthy,
making wise the simple.
8 The precepts of the Lord are right,
giving joy to the heart.
The commands of the Lord are radiant,
giving light to the eyes.
9 The fear of the Lord is pure,
enduring forever.
The ordinances of the Lord are sure
and altogether righteous.
10 They are more precious than gold,
than much pure gold;
they are sweeter than honey,
than honey from the comb.
11 By them is your servant warned;
in keeping them there is great reward.

12 Who can discern his errors?
Forgive my hidden faults.
13 Keep your servant also from willful sins;
may they not rule over me.
Then will I be blameless,
innocent of great transgression.

14 May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
be pleasing in your sight,
O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.

O Lord it's been such a long time since I took time away to truly marvel at Your creation! My last remembrance of beautiful things was during my trip to Canada. The mountains, waterfalls, rivers, snow, hoodoos, Your works are as beautiful and breathtaking as they are amazing! All I could do was just to stand and admire Your marvelous works.

Recently Father, I yearn to go on another trip to somewhere else. The need to travel somewhere, where I can be still and quiet, and listen to Your Words and enjoy Your presence, is growing from within. I need a place where I can just be with You Lord. To be in Your presence is all I seek and long for.
