Daily reflections in Verse, Music and Artwork by Rev’d Paul Collings
Psalm 86:11-13 Teach me your way, Lord, that I may rely on your faithfulness; give me an undivided heart, that I may fear your name. I will praise you, Lord my God, with all my heart; I will glorify your name forever. For great is your love toward me; you have delivered me from the depths, from the realm of the dead.
Link here to listen to an instrumental reflection based on Psalm 86
How can I trust your living aim
Of faithfulness and grace?
How can I glorify you’re name
And there atonement trace?
How can I know your holiness
When darkened depths ensnare
Where evil rules and sinfulness
Denys my souls welfare.
In faithfulness you reach the mire
Of my despairing plight
And there remake my hearts desire
My motives set aright.
You give my heart a purpose new
And set awe deep within
Where glory, praise, and thanks ensues
That love so great must win.
Our faith is not meant to get us out of a hard place or change our painful condition. Rather, it is meant to reveal God's faithfulness to us in the midst of our dire situation.
