A reflection on Psalm 119:97- 120

April 10, 2016 by Chris Gribble

Eternity’s heartbeat is heard through time,
Giving life to all creation’s activity,
Brought together by your hand,
As the most beautiful sign of love,
Your love understood by your words,
Speaking directly to me,
Heaven’s doors opening to my heart,
Seeing my seeking heart,
That yearns to belong to its source.

Still the hatred continues,
Even though it’s brings its own death,
Its only desire is for itself,
Wanting to cling to my life,
Speaking words that are hatred’s burden,
Trying to confound truth’s path,
I will put all I have in God’s hands,
The hatred given totally to him,
This gives me freedom in all I do,
To be completely obedient to God,
No need to look at the distractions,
That the hater uses to hide truth.

My best defence is obedience to God,
Complete faithfulness to his plans,
I will let the hater wallow in his outbursts,
I will put his words far behind me,
My strength will be in living wholeheartedly,
Hatred’s putrid stench will be left behind,
Its aweful fragrance a distant memory,
My life is seeking the one thing,
Submitting my desires to knowing God’s pleasure.
