Sunday Psalms;

Psalms 5:3, 7-8, 11 NLT

[3] Listen to my voice in the morning, 

Lord. 

Each morning I bring my requests to you and wait expectantly.

...

[7] Because of your unfailing love, I can enter your house; 

I will worship at your Temple with deepest awe. 

[8] Lead me in the right path, 

O Lord...

Make your way plain for me to follow.

...

[11] But let all who take refuge in you rejoice;

Psalms 5:3, 7-8, 11 NLT

As we look for the redemptive strands in this week's song, these jumped out...

David shares how he gets to chat with God.

And he does something that I don't often do - waits.

Waits expecting to hear. 

David gets to go to the place where God in his day restricted Himself to meet people. Our opportunity is so much greater as we no longer have to find a temple where God meets people, He is with us.

Just like David in this song we get to seek direction and refuge in YHWH. Two things we need as we navigate this life - direction and refuge.

What do you need more of today?

Some days it feels like refuge is the thing I need most - from world events, news, life, people, and at times it's my inner critic, my own thoughts, memories, emotions.

And some days it's direction. What does following Jesus look like in my situation? 

This song gives us the freedom to ask, to approach the God of the Universe & wait.
