Hope makes you see God’s guiding hand not only in the gentle and pleasant moments but also in the shadows of disappointment and darkness.

From Psalm 37:24-26:  “Our steps are made firm by the Lord when He delights in our way; though we stumble, we shall not fall headlong,  for the Lord holds us by the hand.”

Henri Nouwen (1932-1996) was a Dutch priest, professor, writer, and theologian.

Devoted Praise

From Psalm 106:1:  “Praise the Lord!  O give thanks to the Lord, for He is good, for His steadfast love endures forever.”

Never enough time

Life’s constant demands

Making moments for God

Pausing to hold His hand

 

Devoted praise speaks

For what God has done

Stopping life’s busy train

Praying beside His Son

 

Love for God endures

Goodness offers grace

Rejoicing in His peace

Feeling blessed embrace

 

God’s mighty doings

Quiet moments fill

Singing with heartfelt thanks

Feeling time standing still
