He drew me out of the pit of destruction, out of the mud of the swamp; He set my feet upon a crag; he made firm my steps. And he put a new song into my mouth, a hymn to our God. Many shall look on in awe and trust in the Lord. Happy the man who makes the Lord his trust; who turns not to idolatry or to those who stray after falsehood. How numerous have you made, O Lord, my God, your wondrous deeds! And in your plans for us there is none to equal you; Should I wish to declare or to tell them, they would be too many to recount. Sacrifice or oblation you wished not, but ears open to obedience you gave me. Holocausts or sin-offerings you sought not; then said I, ‘Behold I come; in the written scroll it is prescribed for me. To do your will, O my God, is my delight and your law is within my heart!’ I announced your justice in the vast assembly; I did not restrain my lips, as you, O Lord, know. Your justice I kept hid within my heart; your faithfulness and your salvation I have spoken of; I have made no secret of your kindness and your truth in the vast assembly. (Jesus speaks.) It is I, Jesus. Child, write. My children gathered here, the psalmist under the direction of the Holy Spirit offers a hymn, a prayer, of thanksgiving to God. Within this prayer is contained all wisdom. First and foremost he acclaims in his heart, as well as in words, that God is God. The psalmist lists God’s goodness and mercy. He puts his trust in the Lord and, in return, the God of all stoops to protect he who trusts in Him. But even more is given by God; to those who worship no other God and depend only in God, a great gift is given. A change, a transformation happens within the soul, heart, mind. A new song is given, which means a new way of understanding God and His works is given. This gift gives interior sight, a spiritual sight that recognizes how good God is to all men and especially is valued what God does for the individual. With this spiritual sight, a person no longer dwells on his problems, or what he does not have, but with great clarity sees the daily miracles and provisions given. The soul realizes that it is not enough to give lip service to God, nor is it enough to perform all the rituals of the rite, but a person must obey God with a loving and grateful heart. Prayer must be an act of love. The life of a person must be lived in love and gratitude to the Eternal Father. But even this is not enough. A heart open to God cannot remain silent before the world. One in love speaks of the beloved with joy. One in love announces to all around them the good attributes of the one loved. To all the praises of God should be proclaimed without fear. One who truly loves God cannot keep it a secret, but wants to share the Beloved with all close and far away. Have you not found this true in the lives of the Saints? If today God is never mentioned in the home or workplace, it is because love for God and gratitude to Him no longer exist. If within the Churches the sermons revolve around good causes and money needed for projects, but no spiritual nourishment is given, then God is not held as first, nor is He loved and worshipped. If God is not loved, worshipped and sought after in His own House, how long do you expect the world to survive? Without God there is only Hell. You will experience Hell on earth and finally Hell for all Eternity. So, My children, elevate your souls and open them to Wisdom and return to your Father’s House. Wisdom says to you today; repent. Wisdom says to you; today leave your blindness behind and allow your God to fill your soul with a new song, with new spiritual sight. Wisdom says to you; today announce to all the world that God is good, just and waiting for a return of love. I bless you. |
