Psalm 130

My Soul Waits for the Lord

A Song of Ascents.

1 
Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord!
2 
    O Lord, hear my voice!
Let your ears be attentive
    to the voice of my pleas for mercy!
3 
If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities,
    O Lord, who could stand?
4 
But with you there is forgiveness,
    that you may be feared.
5 
I wait for the Lord, my soul waits,
    and in his word I hope;
6 
my soul waits for the Lord
    more than watchmen for the morning,
    more than watchmen for the morning.
7 
O Israel, hope in the Lord!
    For with the Lord there is steadfast love,
    and with him is plentiful redemption.
8 
And he will redeem Israel
    from all his iniquities.

So these words have been rippling over my mind; the path of these delicate notions meeting my ears ....its funny, really, that I can often hear without even a hint of a whisper to part these lips! Silently listening and then from time to time rolling it off my tongue and in my heart. I first took in these words with these with my eyes but my ears and heart and soul are what will bring me sight ...and though my heart immediately grabs hold of the part “I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in His word I hope: my soul waits for the Lord more than a watchman waits for the morning, more than a watchman waits for the morning.” because it feels so close to this moment, the one I am finding the very breath I am partaking for life; the present moment, where I am very presently awake and aware of the wait I am facing....but I keep hearing Him beckon me to more; the more of this verse. The part I really need to hold on to and understand in this season of Lenten sacrifice and surrender. The part with words that grab my soul and my attention on the deepest levels; the wrestlings beneath the sheath, behind the veil! Words indeed, of I cry out from the depths, my pleas for mercy, with the Lord there is steadfast love, and  plentiful redemption.....Oh yes these are the ones I need! You see as I undress the first lines of this song of the soul that stings as it fully enters me for the work with which it has been sent; I realize God is whispering to me, “Sweet Child I am your only hope and I trust that you know it and you are here because I am sure you will cry out to Me from the depths of this pain and confusion of life and you will cry out to Me alone! That we would sit together in these prayers and promises and you will feel My hands smoothing over the brokenness of that precious heart which I’m molding like clay between My fingers! Yes Love I am that close, both to this pain and to you...
 So close that the far down meaning of a plea suggests you are desperate for My help, it is full of urgency and raw emotion and it is for My great Mercy to rain down like the spring showers that will come my beloved; they will come! So now the waiting is sure and full of excitement and Joy and steady strength drawn from Me alone; the waiting is for Me. Nothing else can hold you here like I can! For remember dear one, with Me there is steadfast Love.... say it again beloved... There is steadfast Love! Say it until you believe it! Say it until it settles your thoughts! Say it until you know I’m standing right here with you! That’s it, forget the rest of the room and hear these words, this is it...all you will need today! My steadfast Love! Do you feel it overshadowing the wait yet? This is it, what the wait is all about; it begins and ends with My steadfast Love! Because of this Love I have for you I call you into to waiting like watchmen waiting for the morning! In all your life beloved, when has the morning not come? Do you understand yet? You see you are not just waiting endlessly for something that is sure to never arrive...NO beloved you are waiting for Me and I come, like the sun is sure to rise each day, I come!!! No matter the darkness of night or the chill of winter, I am waiting with the sun to show you once more of My presence and My great Love for you! 

Oh the things I am redeeming for you through these fading streams of time that you feel are so long trodden! I am redeeming the parts stolen and lost and even the ones you freely gave before you understood your worth sweet daughter! It is here that I am redeeming you from all your iniquities! And looking back my dearest, these words of mine will lift off the pages and meet you right where you are.....waiting for Me; it truly is the most beautiful place I’ve ever seen you......
