Singing psalms
I've been reading Psalms in the Bible lately. At the moment, I am reading a section where all of the psalms praise God: "For great is your love, higher than the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the skies." (Psalm 108:4)
Yesterday night, I was driving to my grandparents' house for dinner, and on the way I stopped over at this look-out type place. I hadn't been to the look-out for over a year. The last time I was there, I was with someone who told me things that upset me greatly, and changed my circumstances quite a lot. But last night, as I looked at all of the different-coloured lights reflecting off from the water, and as I looked at the cars zooming over the bridge, I didn't feel the sadness that I expected. Instead, I felt joyous and grateful. Even though there are still things in my life that are kinda tough (as there are in everyone's life), my life has changed so much since this time last year. Last year, I had severe boy issues (think soap-opera style dramas), no church and no job. And this year, I have a lovely boyfriend who just showers me with love and care, and a great church where I can serve. Even though I might not be the biggest fan of my job, at least I have a full-time job at all. Even things that I was concerned with this year have become a little better.
So, while I stood at the look-out, I said my own little psalm to God in my heart. God has been so good to me. Even when things were bad, I always knew that I could talk to Him about everything, and I knew that He was in control. Then I got back into my car and drove off to my grandparents', feeling quite content and maybe even happy. |
