DAILY MEDITATIONS ON THE PSALMS

Each morning I spend 30 minutes, more or less, researching and writing on a passage of scripture. This is principally a form of spiritual self-discipline. But comments and questions are welcome.

Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my help and my God. (Psalm 42: 11)


God has listened. God has responded. God has loved in ways unfathomable and entirely undeserved.

God found me confused and freting. God has taken my hand and led me into dancing. I am left dizzy and breathless... and amazed.

God is my dancing partner. The music is playing. The lights are shimmering. The crowd is gathering. We bow to one another and another dance begins.


You have turned my mourning into dancing; you have taken off my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, so that my soul may praise you and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks to you for ever. (Psalm 30:11-12)
