Singing in the Presence of God – Lectio Divina

October 31, 2010 By Jean Wise


“On your feet now—applaud God! Bring a gift of laughter, sing yourselves into his presence. ” Psalm 100:1, MSG



                          Sing yourselves into his presence

Jump up onto my feet!
Clap my hands!
     The Lord is present!!
Tilt my head back and laugh aloud!
Dance with glee and abandonment!
     The Lord is here!
I don’t have to worry the God is gone
I cast my fear away that He can’t love my unworthiness.
    The Lord is full of grace and love!
When discouragement overwhelms me
When hope disappears
     I will sing myself into Your presence.
Music magically melts my masks and draws me into my Father’s arms   –
   To be held
      To be forgiven
          To be loved.
Nothing separates us from the love of God
Nothing
But when the shiny decoys of the world and my blinding ego block my sight,
I once again find You, Lord, though laughter and singing.

    “my blinding ego.” Ah, yes. I mean, ouch. But thanks for reminding me that in His presence alone is fulness of joy.

    Love

    The “shiny decoys of the world” part is quite true. Those get in the way far too often.

    Oh, I like that message! A “gift of laughter.” I love to laugh and I never thought that that could be a gift to Him. 🙂
