Peace family, what a day! It sure is refreshing when rain comes at just the right time to feed our lawns, clean the air, and relieve us of some of the heat that is part of living in Texas. What would we do without it?
It makes me want to remember to be grateful, even when we aren’t in a drought. The need for rain reminds me of how much control God really has of where we can live and what we have to eat. We are truly blessed.
Here is one of my favorite psalms, Psalm 97, which is always nice to read during a storm with a hot cup of tea. Just a few thoughts from your friendly neighborhood Kat.
Psalm 97 (NIV)
1 The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad;
let the distant shores rejoice.
2 Clouds and thick darkness surround him;
righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
3 Fire goes before him
and consumes his foes on every side.
4 His lightning lights up the world;
the earth sees and trembles.
5 The mountains melt like wax before the Lord,
before the Lord of all the earth.
6 The heavens proclaim his righteousness,
and all peoples see his glory.
7 All who worship images are put to shame,
those who boast in idols—
worship him, all you gods!
8 Zion hears and rejoices
and the villages of Judah are glad
because of your judgments, Lord.
9 For you, Lord, are the Most High over all the earth;
you are exalted far above all gods.
10 Let those who love the Lord hate evil,
for he guards the lives of his faithful ones
and delivers them from the hand of the wicked.
11 Light shines on the righteous
and joy on the upright in heart.
12 Rejoice in the Lord, you who are righteous,
and praise his holy name.
