A MESSAGE FROM PASTOR RICHARD
“My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast;
I will sing and make melody.
Awake, my soul!
Awake, O harp and lyre!
I will awake the dawn.
I will give thanks to you, O Lord, among the peoples,
and I will sing praises to you among the nations.
For your steadfast love is higher than the heavens,
and your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.”- Psalm 108: 1-4
Briana and I are reading through the Psalms. We read a Psalm or two to begin our day each morning. This morning, after we read Psalm 108, I looked outside at our hummingbird feeder, that was surrounded by 6 or 7 hummingbirds. We finally put up our hummingbird feeder on our porch last weekend and they found it almost immediately!
I thought of the importance of giving thanks to begin the day. Each Psalm is different and unique, but there are themes that permeate throughout the book. One is a theme of gratitude. Even the Psalms of Lament, for the most part, have a verse or two that gives thanks to God or trusts in God’s promises.
The Psalms point us to God and invite us to give thanks, no matter what is happening in our lives in or in the world. It’s so important to begin each day doing this. Because God has given us a new day, which is truly a blessing. And God has given us the hummingbirds, which bring me such joy, as I watch them compete for the smallest drops of sugar water.
May the love of God be with you,
​
Pastor Richard
