Psalm 62

Who am I placing my expectation in? What am I placing my hope in? What do I look to for fulfillment? All of these questions hit me this morning as I read in my devotions Psalm 62:5, "My soul, wait thou only upon God, for my expectation is from Him!"

This passage says, "wait only on God". So often in my life I find my self waiting on the next relationship, the next paycheck, the next event to attend...(let's be honest, we all do it)
God had to gently remind me today that I am to wait only upon Him. He will never disappoint me, He will never arrive late or fail my expectations.

Thank you Lord for this reminder. In you alone I place my expectation. I wait on you alone. You alone satisfy and bring fulfillment to this life!

For Ever Changed by Your Love

Here I am humbled by Your Majesty,
Covered by Your grace oh friend.
Here I am knowing I'm a sinful man,
Covered by the blood of the Lamb.
Now I've found the greatest love of all is mine,
Since You laid down Your life,
The greatest sacrifice.

Majesty, Majesty.
Your grace has found me just as I am,
Empty handed but alive in Your hands.

Here I am humbled by the love that You give,
Forgiven so that I can forgive.
So here I stand,
Knowing that I am Your desire,
Sanctified by glory and fire.
And now I've found the greatest love of all is mine,
Since You laid down Your life,
The greatest sacrife.

Majesty, Majesty.
Your grace has found me just as I am,
Empty handed but alive in your hands.
Singing Majesty, Majesty.
Forever I am changed by Your love,
In the presence of Your Majesty.
Majesty.

We're singing Majesty, Majesty.
Your grace has found me just as I am,
And I'm nothing but alive in Your hands.
We're singing Majesty, Majesty.
Forever I am changed by Your love,
In the beauty of Your Majesty.
Majesty.

Jesus, thank you for you love! I am nothing without it. In my natural I am such a selfish, empty person. I so often turn to other things to fill up that emptiness within. Seeking love from things that are fleeting. I have found Jesus, that your love is the only love that satisfies. Your love is the only love that sees me for what I am and excepts me that way! Nothing compares to your love, it takes my breath away! Jesus as I behold you, I am changed. In your presence I am singing and transformed by your grace. I will declare you love, because of your love I am forever changed! Thank you Jesus
