Last year around this time I wrote a post about my sister Abigail in which I remembered the graciousness of the Lord in sparing my sister two years prior. I won't rehash the details again here, but those interested may read more in last year's post here, see my sister's website here, or read my facebook note updates about it from October 2008.
This week I have been meditating on Psalm 145 and Isaiah 40, and as I read them today I was struck by these particular verses from Psalm 145:
vv. 6-7 "Men shall speak of the power of Your awesome acts, and I will tell of Your greatness. They shall eagerly utter the memory of Your abundant goodness and will shout joyfully of Your righteousness."
Remembering the events of three years ago, I can think of no better way to describe them than as "awesome acts" and "abundant goodness." I hope I never forget the things that He did then, and never fail to tell of His greatness. If you see me around, I'd love to tell you about it in person. Please ask.
vv. 17-20b "The LORD is righteous in all His ways and kind in all His deeds. The LORD is near to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him in truth. He will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him; He will also hear their cry and will save them. The LORD keeps all who love Him..."Labels: Bible/theology, family, journal/quiet time, reflections
