Take Your Place

For about a week I've had this song going through my head like a music player set on "loop".  Jon Thurlow's song "Take Your Place":

My soul
longs for
You, Lord
in a
dry and
weary land...

It was made for You,
Only You can fill it


A time to cry out

Proverbs chapter 2 is ripe for the picking.  If ever there was a time for Christians to be calling upon the Lord for discernment and understanding, today is that day.


3b ... if you call out for insight
   and cry aloud for understanding,
4 and if you look for it as for silver
   and search for it as for hidden treasure,
5 then you will understand the fear of the LORD
   and find the knowledge of God.
6 For the LORD gives wisdom;
   from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.
7 He holds success in store for the upright,
   he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless,
8 for he guards the course of the just
   and protects the way of his faithful ones.
 9 Then you will understand what is right and just
   and fair—every good path.
10 For wisdom will enter your heart,
   and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.
11 Discretion will protect you,
   and understanding will guard you.
