Pic, verse and thought




Psalm 86:3 From: A Prayer of David

"Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily."

The pic is from my daughter's trip to Italy this summer, near Cortina.

The reason for the chosen verse is it's connection to many...
new Christians,
established members of the Church,
those hurting and seeking understanding,
those of unbelief but desperately seeking help,
and a King.


My point is that often I see God's beauty all around me, but often
I let the pain of those I love, and my own flawed thinking get in the way
of God's embracing love for us. Before I know it, I too, am seeking His council just as an Israel King did.

PS...
Psalm 86:10-13

"For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone.
Teach me thy way, O Lord; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.
I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore.
For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell."
KJV

Thanks for stopping by my blog. I know the quote can be quite strong and depending on how laid back you are in life, it means different things to different people. I hope it helped in the slightest bring some clarity to a situation.
