Today, I saw these words, and they just lifted my spirit:
By day the LORD directs his love,
at night his song is with me—
a prayer to the God of my life. - Psalm 42:8 (NIV)
I was struck by the beauty of the simple message. God directs His love ("commands His lovingkindness" as the KJV renders the verse) and cares for / carries me through the daylight, and His song - His promises, His protection, His guidance - sees me through the hours of darkness. He gives me the reason to praise Him, and makes my life a prayer to Him!
Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God. - Psalm 42:11 (KJV)
Hallelujiah!!
