Colossians 1:9 And so, from the day we heard, we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,

For the last few days I have been at a loss for something new to write. That happens to me often when I sense that I have come full cycle, approaching the same old material with a new way of looking at it. Today is one of those days.

This is the perfect answer for what the Lord has put on my heart.

All this is about you, not me, perhaps not even the Lord but the object of my innermost prayers.

Sometimes when you are very close to a subject you lose your objectivity. I have been asking myself why again. Why me Lord? Why have you chosen me? Why am I any different? Why Lord why?

It isn’t about me. It is all for you. I am not special, I am just like everyone else. I have a past, I have a present and I have a future. Everything that happens in this world will happen to me just as it will for you. 

Psalm 121 English Standard Version

My Help Comes from the Lord

A Song of Ascents.

1 I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come?
2 My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

3 He will not let your foot be moved; he who keeps you will not slumber.
4 Behold, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.

5 The Lord is your keeper; the Lord is your shade on your right hand.
6 The sun shall not strike you by day, nor the moon by night.

7 The Lord will keep you from all evil; he will keep your life.
8 The Lord will keep your going out and your coming in from this time forth and forevermore.

His love for me makes me feel special, but I am not. We are all loved equally.

He has us, coming and going. It makes no difference.
