Dear friend,
I was recently
going through the book of Psalm 121 and was struck at the lovely
words it begins with:
I look unto the hills- where does my help come from? My help
comes from the Lord the Maker of heaven and earth.(NIV)
The question
that puzzled me is why the hills? I am quickly answered by the
idea of the hills that surround Zion; they are a protector, a symbol
of strength, power and might. As well in the geography on the hills
and their accompanying slopes are lush green, the kind of place good
pasture and food would be. Anyone would immediately conclude that
this is too greater a wager to make, what could possibly top the
hunger and deep need for good pasture cool shade and the feel of a
nice breeze after kilometers upon kilometers even possibly days of
going without these very things?
I was struck by
David’s conclusion that he saw the hills with all their promise to
give his sheep and himself a good rest and satisfaction yet He was
even more confident and content and in the love of God; so much as to
say; my help comes from God… that is a heart hungry for God
and a mind fully convinced of the great love of God and fulfillment
and satisfaction being found in no one but Jesus Christ. His help is more certain and sure!
...Jesus
you are my hope and stay...
lord
I need you
O
I need you
Every hour I need you
my
one defense
my
righteousness
O
lord how I need you.
Let this song be
the cry of our hearts. For the hunger, thirst for other things let an
even deeper need subsist for God! This is what we have been called to my friend. please purpose today to desire and long for more of the LORD!
yours faithfully
MIGUUBEAUTIFUL.
