A Reflection on Psalm 147

March 4, 2016 by Chris Gribble

My deepest joy has been discovered,
It takes all my most painful memories,
And leaves them with yesterday,
Today I will begin with praise,
Assured that God remembers to love me,
Not one part of me is unloved,
Opposition to this love will be ended,
As God asserts his unfailing care,
To the one who trusts completely in him.

The self importance of arrogance,
Has little to say to God,
He only listens to his own words,
And they don’t impress God,
God is interested in those who remember,
When each day is started with him,
And, then completed with praise.

Every day is a reminder of God’s care,
It begins with the first rays of light,
Seen from an earth born from love,
Appreciated by the gift of understanding,
Transformed by truth’s first concern,
Lived in the Rhythm of grace,
Healing the broken spirits,
Of those who seek to discover,
God’s loving open word,
Spoken me each day.
