Sing and Celebrate

I had a chance to sit down with a couple of folks from our CR this past week to connect and talk about life, and many of us are walking through some tough stuff as the holidays are upon us. I was reminded in my conversations of something I heard said about clinging to God is trying times, that “even though I may not know where God is, He knows where I am.” What a comforting truth to know that our Good God sees you and me, and is working even when we can’t see it. In meditating on that, Psalm 63 crossed my mind:
 
Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you. I will praise you as long as I live, and in your name I will lift up my hands...Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings. I cling to you; your right hand upholds me.  - Psalm 63:3-5,7-8
 
Because of the steadfast love of God, we can sing and celebrate in the shadow and safety of His wings. We can remind ourselves of His presence and love and remember the Gospel of Jesus' sacrifice again. We can rest in our hope in Him.
