Honestly, Lord, …

Psalm 35:4-8

May those who seek my life
be disgraced and put to shame…

Reflection

The Scriptures are refreshingly honest and revealing about…

A Spirituality of Waiting

Psalm 27:14

Wait for the LORD;
be strong and take heart
and wait for the LORD.

Reflection

Waiting is difficult, especially…

The Path of Life

Psalm 16:11

You have made known to me the path of life;
you will fill me with joy in your presence,
with eternal pleasures at your right hand.

Reflection

One of the recurring themes in the Psalms is that God’s path is a way of life.

Morning With God

Psalm 5:3

In the morning, O LORD, you hear my voice;
in the morning I lay my requests before you
and wait in expectation.

Reflection

How easy it is to begin the day in a mad rush – finding missing socks and eating a Tim Horton’s bagel in the car on the way to work – and forget to begin the day in God’s presence.

Deeply Rooted

Psalm 1:1-3

Blessed is the man
who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked
or stand in the way of sinners
or sit in the seat of mockers.

But his delight is in the law of the LORD,
and on his law he meditates day and night.

He is like a tree planted by streams of water,
which yields its fruit in season
and whose leaf does not wither.
Whatever he does prospers.

Reflection

By meditating on scripture over and over, this psalmist grows roots “like a tree planted by streams of water.”
