Hiding Place

In what is becoming a regular trend for us, the first of the new year has flown by, February is already upon us and I find myself being pulled by the current of busyness with my feet dragging behind... As my family saying goes, "It is what it is..."  So, this morning I decided to pull up this picture from a December sunset at mom and dad's while re-reading Psalm 32 (the passage from yesterday's daily reading).  May this passage encourage you as well...

"Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.

Blessed is the man against whom the LORD counts no iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit.

For when I kept silent, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long. 

For day and night your hand was heavy upon me; my strength was dried up as by the heat of summer.

I acknowledged my sin to you, and I did not cover my iniquity; I said, "I will confess my transgressions to the LORD," and you forgave the iniquity of my sin.

Therefore let everyone who is godly offer prayer to you at a time when you may be found; surely in the rush of great waters, they shall not reach him.

You are a hiding place for me; you preserve me from trouble; you surround me with shouts of deliverance.

I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you.

Be not like a horse or a mule, without understanding, which must be curbed with bit and bridge, or it will not stay near you.

Many are the sorrows of the wicked, but steadfast love surrounds the one who trusts in the LORD.

Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, O righteous, and shot for joy, all you upright in heart!"

Psalm 32:1-11

Here's a blast from the past for you: a clip from a worship gathering we led five years ago or so and some lyrics I put a melody to called, "Hiding Place"...
