I find delight in the scriptures
And things of the Lord.
Even though, having experienced
The personal tender mercies of my God,
Sorrow weighs upon my soul, because
I perceive that I am just a little mote of dust.
Who am I to be in God’s eye? His child!
Yes, but I’m circled about by
Temptation, vexation and weakness.
When I wish to obey and write psalms,
I question my worth; in the world
I’m a nobody, old, widowed and female.
God commands His priesthood, prophets
And men to write, receive revelation.
Their circles of influence are far greater than
mine.
Just an old-fashioned blog, have I.
God has been my support and I trust Him.
His love has filled me, often for days;
Why, when He’s heard my prayers
And answered every need that I have,
Should I question my worth and ability
To write psalms as He has commanded?
Long ago, upon the wings of His Spirit
I was found above the earth in spirit.
He showed me my spouse: past, present, and future.
Then I felt the immense love , perfect love,
He had for him. My husband chose his life here.
Years later, a realization flowed into my heart.
Equally yoked, I too was loved perfectly.
So why should I hesitate now in the valley
Of widowed aloneness, question my life?
Awake, Rise up! Pour forth love!
Use the tools of today and let God work
His miracles, bringing people who need
My perspective, find me in cyberspace.
O Lord, I rejoice in Thee, my God and the
Rock of my salvation.
Wilt thou redeem my soul? Banish doubt?
Find me with a contrite heart, I pray.
Lift me up with Thy power, that I may
Continue to walk on Thy covenant path.
Behold, my voice shall ascend up unto Thee
My psalms of praise will continue.
My Rock, my Redeemer! I love Thee! Amen.
