Rejoice!
63 O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;
2 To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary.
3 Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.
4 Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name.
5 My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips:
6 When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.
7 Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.
8 My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me. Psalm 63:1-8 (KJV)
The Morning Exhortation
Life is full of mystery. Science is limited to reasoning based on physical realities, intellectual opinions, and statistical probabilities that cannot pass beyond the second heaven let alone reach into the third. Faith is the only faculty given to man that is capable of penetrating the cloud of unknowing that surrounds life on earth. The only needful thing to get right is to believe in God and choose to trust Him, or the awful day will come when all who don’t will be counted among all those who believe in God and tremble. Empirical knowledge enlightened by knowledge of the Scriptures and the power of God makes for great faith. From here, just as it is written, nothing will be impossible for us.
