the veil

Grateful for anything that pulls back the veil to reveal that only one thing matters.


Hope in God


So much of what we do and busy ourselves with down here is painfully temporary and unimportant.


Love, His Love, that brings and renews His life in us.  Resting and trusting in that.


Hope in God


Psalm 42...so good


For the leader. A maskil of the descendants of Korach:

^2 (1) Just as a deer longs for running streams,
God, I long for you.
^3 (2) I am thirsty for God, for the living God!
When can I come and appear before God?

^4 (3) My tears are my food, day and night,
while all day people ask me, “Where is your God?”
^5 (4) I recall, as my feelings well up within me,
how I’d go with the crowd to the house of God,
with sounds of joy and praise from the throngs
observing the festival.

^6 (5) My soul, why are you so downcast?
Why are you groaning inside me?
Hope in God, since I will praise him again
for the salvation that comes from his presence.
^7 (6) My God, when I feel so downcast,
I remind myself of you
from the land of Yarden, from the peaks of Hermon,
from the hill Mizar.
^8 (7) Deep is calling to deep
at the thunder of your waterfalls;
all your surging rapids and waves
are sweeping over me.
^9 (8) By day Adonai commands his grace,
and at night his song is with me
as a prayer to the God of my life.
^10 (9) I say to God my Rock,
“Why have you forgotten me?
Why must I go about mourning,
under pressure by the enemy?
^11 (10) My adversaries’ taunts make me feel
as if my bones were crushed,
as they ask me all day long,
‘Where is your God?’ ”

^12 (11) My soul, why are you so downcast?
Why are you groaning inside me?
Hope in God, since I will praise him again
for being my Savior and God.(CJB)
