Glimpses in Psalm 116

In reading Psalm 116 yesterday I was struck by the first two verses, "I love the Lord, because he has heard my voice and my pleas for mercy. Because he inclined his ear to me, therefore I will call on him as long as I live." The truly amazing thing to me is that the psalmist describes an act of grace (God's listening and responding to him) and then his heart's response to, "call on him as long as I live."

"As long as I live" is a long time! God's grace to me in Jesus makes me want to be in close relationship (calling on him) for all of my days. May He make these words true in me.

I hope this blesses you with glimpses of Jesus' return!

I love this song! Jesus is coming again; this is such a good reminder. Oh, what we have to live for here and now in light of His return.

Even So Come

All of creation
All of the earth
Make straight a highway
A path for the Lord
Jesus is coming soon

Call back the sinner
Wake up the saint
Let every nation
Shout of Your fame
Jesus is coming soon

Like a bride
Waiting for her groom
We'll be a church
Ready for You
Every heart longing for our King
We sing
Even so come
Lord Jesus come

There will be justice
All will be new
Your name forever
Faithful and true
Jesus is coming soon

Like a bride
Waiting for her groom
We'll be a church
Ready for You
Every heart longing for our King
We sing
Even so come
Lord Jesus come

So we wait
We wait for You
God we wait
You're coming soon
