Who is like the LORD our God, who is seated on high, who looks far down on the heavens and the earth? He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap, to make them sit with princes, with the princes of his people. He gives the barren woman a home, making her the joyous mother of children. Praise the LORD!

Your Compassion is manifest in a infinite number of ways. It is most immediately visible in Your willingness to come to earth as an incarnate man, stepping in to assume the punishment for our sin. Incredible that You would do so!

Your Compassion also flowed out in healings of all types of illnesses, physical, mental and demonic. Incredible that You would do so!

That Compassion caused You to empower Your disciples to heal all types of illnesses and to carry the message of Your Great Sacrifice to all peoples and nations. Incredible that You would do so!

Here I am, Lord, a very temporal and insignificant squiggle in the immensity of the Creation; trying to grasp the reality that You are the Infinite Being. A Being who is infinite in all aspects. Your holiness, Your power, Your wisdom, Your grace, Your mercy, Your love, You have no bounds. You are without limit in all aspects of Good; Your are the very definition of Perfection and I cannot comprehend that. But I have all eternity to savor Your Completeness

For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

Lord, I plead for that complete indwelling of Your Spirit, total transformation and circumcision of my heart so that I will have Your mind. That indwelling equips me to know, to experience, to live, to be fully cognizant of Your love. I'm closer than I was but still a long ways to go. Yes, the goal will not be reached until the Rapture, but each day must be a step closer. Come, Lord Jesus, come

His offspring will be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright will be blessed. Wealth and riches are in his house, and his righteousness endures forever. Light dawns in the darkness for the upright; he is gracious, merciful, and righteous. It is well with the man who deals generously and lends; who conducts his affairs with justice. For the righteous will never be moved; he will be remembered forever. He is not afraid of bad news; his heart is firm, trusting in the LORD. His heart is steady; he will not be afraid, until he looks in triumph on his adversaries.

To know that I do not need to be afraid, that all things work together for my good, that Your plans for me are to not to do me harm but to do good, is comfort, yea beyond comfort indeed.

The works of his hands are faithful and just; all his precepts are trustworthy;they are established forever and ever, to be performed with faithfulness and uprightness. He sent redemption to his people; he has commanded his covenant forever. Holy and awesome is his name! The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; all those who practice it have a good understanding. His praise endures forever!

If fear of You is the beginning of wisdom, and it is, then I need to strive to understand You and gain a proper fear of You. Not fright but a deep and reverential respect and awe. Your mercy shields me from the terror that would be rightfully mine as a sinful fallen man; Your grace opens all the magnificent vista of the Kingdom of Heaven; Your love guides me through my call to be an ambassador to the Kingdom of Man.

He has shown his people the power of his works, in giving them the inheritance of the nations.

Great are Your works, marvelous and awe inspiring. From the flaming red of that solitary maple on Rt 131 yesterday morning to that report of Your intervening hand in the challenges faced by a dear friend. There is no where that Your grace and mercy is not evident—no where! All creation and every aspect cries out in testimony to You and Your love for it.
