August 7th Psalm by Bill Lynch


Reference Psalm 33:12-22

Psalm
As I gaze towards heaven, Lord, I see you.
As you gaze towards this earth, you see me.
You see all the nations of the world.

Nations gathered together with one mind.
You see nations separated by hate.
You gaze at the mighty and the weak.

But we are not saved by our own might.
The weapons of war are nothing in your sight.
In our might you see weakness.

You look to those who humbly approach you.
Those who know from where salvation comes.
You see the hungry, ill, needy and those in pain.

For it's not our selfish desires that save us.
It's your love and grace that saves.
Through your Son Jesus Christ alone we come to you.

Pour out your love on us this day.
Show us how to love each other.
Lead us in your Light of day.

Prayer
Lord, we place all of our hope in you. You alone save and deliver us from sin, death and the devil. Be with us as we reflect the saving glory of your love to all you give to us... today... tomorrow... and forever. --- Amen
