Psalm 147

This evening brings me to Psalm 147 in my countdown of faith.

Verse 3 - "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." When the tears trickle down my cheek, I remember how compassionate my Jesus is. He too has shed tears. But more than that, He has shed his blood, and it is through that sacrifice that I will obtain healing, and strength, and one day glorification!

Verse 5 - "Great is our Lord, and abundant in power; His understanding is beyond measure." In wisdom, our Lord has not yet sent you, my dear one, into my life. His ways are above our ways. Do not wish away today--this day He has given you for your good, for your growth in Christlikeness--as you wait upon Him for the fulfillment of your heart's desire. His way is perfect.

Verse 11 - "The LORD takes pleasure in those who fear Him, in those who hope in His steadfast love." This, my love, is my prayer for you today. Fear God, and hope in His steadfast love. Behind a frowning providence He hides a smiling face.

I love you, my dear one.
Waiting,
Me
