My foot has found its foundation

I stand firmly

Shaky places

Narrow places

Dark places

It matters not

For I am not alone

Where He goes, I will go.

Without question

Without hesitation

May He only whisper a word

And I am there.

For my heart has been touched by the very hand of love.

I simply cannot contain the passion that has filled my soul

Consumed

Overwhelmed

Refashioned

Am I

By the hand that formed the stars.

What love is this that looked upon me and called me Beloved

I am captivated by such compassion

And

Forever ruined for anything else.

The world may compete for my attention

In hopes to win my affection

But its pursuits are in vain

Simply for naught

It has nothing to offer

There is only one pursuit in my sights

Tis, the lover of my soul

For it is He that first pursued me

With an unfailing love and passion

That none could compare

It is He that I want

It is He that I seek

That I may dwell in the place of His presence

All the days of my life.

In reflection of David's Psalm 27, today may we stand firm in the goodness and pure love that God has for us.  May we position ourselves in the place of His presence that we may not waver from our place of resolute passion, faith and belief in the overflowing fullness, yes, overflowing, that comes from the place of relationship with the Father.  He loves us with a love that is never-ending, never-failing and completely incomparable.  Let that reality lovingly embrace your heart today.



 One thing I ask from the LORD, 
   this only do I seek: 
that I may dwell in the house of the LORD 
   all the days of my life, 
to gaze on the beauty of the LORD 
   and to seek him in his temple. 
5 For in the day of trouble 
   he will keep me safe in his dwelling; 
he will hide me in the shelter of his sacred tent 
   and set me high upon a rock.
-Psalm 27:4-5

 I remain confident of this: 
   I will see the goodness of the LORD 
   in the land of the living. 
14 Wait for the LORD; 
   be strong and take heart 
   and wait for the LORD.
-Psalm 27:13-14
