Muse on the Work of His Hands!

I trust you are blessed and prospering in the Lord! Welcome!


I remember the days of old; I meditate on all Your works; I muse (reflect) on the work of Your hands. I spread out my hands to You; my soul longs for You like a thirsty land. (Psalm 143:5, 6 NKJV)

In this passage of Scripture, the psalmist is speaking to the Lord. This gives us a peek into the intimate relationship the psalmist had with God. He thought about God; he thought about the past in God’s presence. He meditated and pondered the works of the Lord.

And lastly, the psalmist confessed that he longed for the Lord like a thirsty land longs for water! That’s an image of intense intimacy and dependence!

This paints a picture for us of a very close relationship between God and man. This is a good model for us to copy in our own lives. Stop and think about the Lord and what He has done for you in your life, in your moments of great need, and in the lives of your family members! And then express your great love and thankfulness to Him. It will bless you mightily!
