the good news!


i’ve been making my way through the book of psalms via the message bible over this past week and a half.  its been a beautiful journey so far - full of guidance, inspiration, correction, love and hope! Thought i’d do a bit of a ‘mash up’ and share some of my favorite scriptures thus far…. Enjoy!

God charts the road i take; i will not fear. Every morning I lay out the pieces of my life on your alter & watch for fire to descend. I thank you Lord, for you make things right – I will be committed to singing your praise!

God, your name echoes around the world! When I needed you – you were there – making things right, taking charge. God’s a safe-house for the battered. A sanctuary during bad times.
My heart will find rest when I arrive at your feet. I am singing at the top of my lungs, I’m so full of answered prayers. Thank you Lord! I will Walk straight. Act right. Tell the truth. And, keep my word, even when it costs me.

I love you God, you make me strong! God is bedrock under my feet the castle in which I live, my rescuing knight! My choice is You, God, first and only. And now I find I’m your choice! You made my life complete, when I placed all the pieces before You.

You cleared the ground under me, so my footing was firm. God, you are a floodlight to my life;I’m blazing with Your glory. Thank you Lord for your Word! It warns me of danger, and directs me to hidden treasures. Otherwise how will i find my way?

Show me your strength God, so I will not miss it! I’m out singing the GOOD news! From the corners of he earth people are coming to their senses. They are running back to You. Long lost families are falling on their faces before you.

Your beauty and love chase after me every day of my life! If I keep my eyes on You, I won’t trip over my own feet! So I will never lose sight of your love, but keep me in step with you, never missing a beat.

God make your people strong!  Give your people peace!
