1 The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
2 Day after day they pour forth speech;
night after night they display knowledge.
3 There is no speech or language
where their voice is not heard. [1]
4 Their voice [2] goes out into all the earth,
their words to the ends of the world.
In the heavens he has pitched a tent for the sun,
5 which is like a bridegroom coming forth from his pavilion,
like a champion rejoicing to run his course.
6 It rises at one end of the heavens
and makes its circuit to the other;
nothing is hidden from its heat.
7 The law of the LORD is perfect,
reviving the soul.
The statutes of the LORD are trustworthy,
making wise the simple.
8 The precepts of the LORD are right,
giving joy to the heart.
The commands of the LORD are radiant,
giving light to the eyes.
9 The fear of the LORD is pure,
enduring forever.
The ordinances of the LORD are sure
and altogether righteous.
10 They are more precious than gold,
than much pure gold;
they are sweeter than honey,
than honey from the comb.
11 By them is your servant warned;
in keeping them there is great reward.
12 Who can discern his errors?
Forgive my hidden faults.
13 Keep your servant also from willful sins;
may they not rule over me.
Then will I be blameless,
innocent of great transgression.
14 May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
be pleasing in your sight,
O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.
-Psalm 19
Here I am in the Guild House once again, sitting down and reading Psalm 19, while looking out through the window at the sky, the trees, the grass patch, and listening to the birds. Verse 14 says "May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight". As I'm so tempted to once again bitch about my life, and about all that's going around me, I guess today I'm going to try spending it looking at everything around me, and learn to give praise and thanks to God for what He has made. Paul just called to fill me in on what he's going through, and so as I spend it thinking abt God, and praying for him, I pray I can change my disposition slowly, recognizing the goodness He intends for my life, and even to see the goodness He intends for Paul's, that he might be encouraged.
I've been the king, I've been the clown. Now broken wings can't hold me down. I'm free again. The jester with the broken crown, it won't be me this time around to love in vain.
