O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water. So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary, beholding your power and glory. Because your steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise you. So I will bless you as long as I live; in your name I will lift up my hands. My soul will be satisfied as with fat and rich food, and my mouth will praise you with joyful lips, when I remember you upon my bed, and meditate on you in the watches of the night; for you have been my help, and in the shadow of your wings I will sing for joy. My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me.
– Psalm 63:1-8 ESV
This passage of scripture has been in my mind today. As I have had a day of amazing fun with my family and friends, my heart is still heavy with the state of our world. I cling to this passage knowing God will always win and His love never fails. Even when our world is falling apart. I will choose to sing for joy and I will choose to cling to Christ.
