A reflection on Psalm 96

January 18, 2016 by Chris Gribble

I spent too long wallowing in failure,
From now on I intend to be completely real,
Remembering God will be my first task each day,
Discovering new ways God has loved me,
His voice is heard everywhere,
And, now my voice joins with him,
My out of tune cracked record,
Now is singing in perfect tune.

I will give to God what belongs to him,
My life completely committed to him,
I tried living my way but I was a disaster,
I’ve handed it all over to God,
Even my everyday worries that I want to keep,
Are now safely given to God to solve.

My life is now God centred,
All my distractions were taken from me,
There is only room for me to praise God,
I find new songs to sing each day,
And, new expressions of God’s praise everywhere,
I love singing with my God every day.

Today I am going to start …

Today I am going to start living
As only I can live,
I am going to walk in the bush
Listen lovingly to friends,
Take time to hear the birds sing
Love my wife
Be present for my children,
And, wonder at this precious gift
Of life and dreams and time,
Just today, is all I have,
Today I am going to live.
