Psalm 36:5-9
Your unfailing love, O LORD, is as vast as the heavens; your faithfulness reaches beyond the clouds.
Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains, your justice like the ocean depths.
You care for people and animals alike, O LORD.
How precious is your unfailing love, O GOD!
All humanity finds shelter in the shadow of your wings.
You feed them from the abundance of your own house,
letting them drink from your river of delights.
For you are the fountain of life,
the light by which we see. (NLT)

What do you need that God is not?

Nothing.

Absolutely nothing.

What do you need that God will not provide?

Same answers.

These are good thoughts for our family. We are entering a season of transitions. These are good transitions. Lots of fun stuff is included. Even so, there is always stress related to change, no matter how good.

This means this is a time to recall where we truly stand, what is most important, and how we should navigate these weeks and months ahead.

This also means awakening on a Saturday morning to our Black Dog’s growling stomach and her gentle approach of encouraging me to fill her bowl with chewy delights.

This also means awakening at almost the same moment to a list of ToDos from my bride, who is away at a conference and remembers what all needs to be accomplished before she returns Monday.

The dogs’ bellies are full. My bride is off to her conference events. Two cups of coffee have been received. I have my assignments for the day. God’s mercies are new and fresh. His kindness is on full display. Strength for the work and focus for the tasks are ready for employment.

Let’s go.

I will lean into this season with intention and anticipation.

Our Father, change not managed well feels like loss. Change in your loving care feels like gain. Thank you for the gains of the day ahead and the season to come. Lead us forward at your pace of grace. Amen.

Daily D – Leviticus 8:23-26

Leviticus 8:23-26 The LORD said to Moses, “This applies to the Levites: Men twenty-five years old or more shall come to take part in the work at the tent of meeting, but at the age of fifty, they must retire from their regular service and work no longer. They may assist their brothers in performing their duties at the tent of meeting, but they themselves must not do the work. This, then, is how you are to assign the responsibilities of the Levites.”

Daily D – Psalm 40:1-3

Psalm 40:1-3

“I waited patiently for the LORD;
he turned to me and heard my cry.
He lifted me out of the slimy pit,
out of the mud and mire;
he set my feet on a rock
and gave me a firm place to stand.
He put a new song in my mouth,
a hymn of praise to our God.
Many will see and fear the LORD
and put their trust in him.”

Daily D – Leviticus 26:3-13

Leviticus 26:3-13 “‘If you follow my decrees and are careful to obey my commands, I will send you rain in its season, and the ground will yield its crops and the trees their fruit. Your threshing will continue until grape harvest and the grape harvest will continue until planting, and you will eat all the food you want and live in safety in your land.

“ ‘I will grant peace in the land, and you will lie down and no one will make you afraid. I will remove wild beasts from the land, and the sword will not pass through your country. You will pursue your enemies, and they will fall by the sword before you. Five of you will chase a hundred, and a hundred of you will chase ten thousand, and your enemies will fall by the sword before you.

“ ‘I will look on you with favor and make you fruitful and increase your numbers, and I will keep my covenant with you. You will still be eating last year’s harvest when you will have to move it out to make room for the new. I will put my dwelling place among you, and I will not abhor you. I will walk among you and be your God, and you will be my people. I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt so that you would no longer be slaves to the Egyptians; I broke the bars of your yoke and enabled you to walk with heads held high.”

your vindication like the noonday sun.”
