He Wraps Himself in Light


The circumstances in this past week have made me into an irritable, exhausted old woman! The Lord is teaching me about "thorns in the flesh" and has given me one...a person I see often. I have to practice what He has taught me in His word to love one another and be kind and tender-hearted. I hope I don't disappoint Him.
Meanwhile, it comforts me to see these verses from Psalm 104:
1 Praise the LORD, O my soul.
O LORD my God, you are very great;
you are clothed with splendor and majesty.

2 He wraps himself in light as with a garment;
he stretches out the heavens like a tent

3 and lays the beams of his upper chambers on their waters.
He makes the clouds his chariot
and rides on the wings of the wind.

4 He makes winds his messengers,
flames of fire his servants.

5 He set the earth on its foundations;
it can never be moved.

Which then brings me to one of my most favorite worship songs:

How Great is Our God
by Chris Tomlin

The splendor of a King,
Clothed in majesty
Let all the earth rejoice,
All the earth rejoice
He wraps himself in light,
And darkness tries to hide
And trembles at his voice,
And trembles at his voice

How great is our God,
sing with me
How great is our God,
and all will see
How great, How great
Is our God

Age to age he stands
And time is in His Hands
Beginning and the End,
Beginning and the End
The Godhead, Three in one
Father, Spirit, Son
The Lion and the Lamb,
The Lion and the Lamb

How great is our God,
sing with me
How great is our God,
and all will see
How great, How great
Is our God

So....our days are full of the insignificant and the eternally significant. He cares about every detail and I'm so glad He does!
