I will praise you, Lord, among the nations; I will sing of you among the peoples. For great is your love, reaching to the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the skies. Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth. Psalm 57:9-11Words cannot express our love for God when He sends so many gifts of love to us.  The rainbow pictured here is beyond beautiful, so high in the sky where God walks.  I can imagine Him striding above the clouds, clapping his hands with joy, when he sees one of his children raise their hands in praise or drop their head in prayer and humility.We are His Children, we are His Loved Ones.  He created us.  He provides work for us to do. He wants us to love him.I love the portion of the scripture that says, let your glory be over all the earth.  This is my prayer.  For His Glory lights my way, gives me guidance and understanding each day.  The understanding  that I long for.  I do not understand Your ways, but I know that I long to be close to You.  Isaiah, long ago, understood the WHO You are.  ‘You are my God.’  And Isaiah knew His faithfulness in caring for him.  I too, know the kindnesses and joys of God’s perfect faithfulness in my life.  Your love is sweet, giving me peace that I can have with no other one.  The sounds in the night, the fears that grow in intensity, disappear when I trust you and seek your wisdom.You, Oh God, are a Master Planner.  Even before the earth was created, before Man began his odyssey.  You knew what will be.  And it is so.  Take my life and let it be, consecrated only for Thee.Lord, you are my God; I will exalt you and praise your name, for in perfect faithfulness you have done wonderful things, things planned long ago. Isaiah 25:1
