Oh David! The first words out of his mouth: "Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered." Psalm 32:1 God does not count this travesty against David. There is a rush of great waters for all of us. You are our Hiding Place. Psalm 32:7. Oh David! You moved through this under the Grace of God, the Power of God, the Goodness of God. Under The Mercy. Surrounded by the Steadfast Love of God. Psalm 32:10
Have mercy on me, God. Blot out my sins. I cannot forget. You forgive! "Let's go to the house of God!" Psalm 122:1 Oh Father, there's not a person on earth who has not lived a day without being "curved in" on ourselves. In our secret hearts, forgive and Psalm 32:1 "You get a fresh start, your slate's wiped clean. God holds nothing against you and you're holding nothing back from him." How foolish of me to think that there is any good greater than the good of knowing God! Psalm 33:16-17 "No king succeeds with a big army alone, no warrior wins by brute strength. Horsepower is not the answer; no one gets by on muscle alone." Psalm 34:6 "When I was desperate, I called out, and got me out of a tight spot. God's angel sets up a circle of protection around us while we pray. "The struggle with fear and pain will continue. Only in the storm will you know there is an anchor...I've not wanted an anchor in the storm. I've wanted a quick trip to shore." No spiritual aspirin available. No anesthetic for my storms. Just a revelation of what life is like for the person who lives in the storm with his eyes fixed on Me. 66 LL
PHOTO: Eatonville, Washington. The place where Bob's Mom & Dad lived. You walk down their driveway and expect to see them coming out. You hear those voices talking about life gone by. You see the snow-capped slopes from their windows. You long for one more conversation to say what's on your heart for them. My children's grandparents.
