The Lord is awe-inspiring, fearsome, fascinating, intriguing, and majestic in his radiant splendor: breathtaking! Here is what I saw of him today and what came to my heart and mind in Psalm 62:1, 5-6, 8,

"Truly my soul finds rest in God;
my salvation comes from him.
Truly he is my rock and my salvation;
he is my fortress, I will never be shaken…
Yes, my soul, find rest in God;
my hope comes from him.
Truly he is my rock and my salvation;
he is my fortress, I will not be shaken…
Trust in him at all times, you people;
pour out your hearts to him,
for God is our refuge."
I don't need to send in a "faith-promise pledge" of a thousand dollars, I don't need "miracle manna bread". I don't need the green handkerchief or the miracle spring water or a tube of the blessed olive oil from the holy land. I don't need a rabbi, a priest or a rosary. I don't need a Joseph Smith, a Buddha, a Confucius or the Dalai Lama. I don't need a temple, a synagogue or a stadium worship center.
I don't need the latest book on improving myself. I don't need the seminar or the hot new gospel band. I don't need the ivy-league college degree, the most lucrative professional career, the happiest marriage or the most successful children. I don't need the best house in town, the hottest car, the big screen TV or the latest in digital gadgets.
What I do need is the Lord! The Lord who loves me and gave his life for me! The Lord who has taken my punishment for the sins I have committed on himself! The Lord who cleanses me from all sin and has provided me room at his table!
I need the Lord who will raise me up on resurrection day to life everlasting! This is the God I need! This is the God in whom alone my soul finds rest! My salvation comes from him! He alone is my rock and my fortress! It is in this God I find my refuge!
May my life manifest the gratefulness, the appreciation, the gratitude, the thankfulness, the acknowledgment of all my God is to me!
