198 - "Either Cling to Me as I Am Or Who You Want Me To Be" Psalm 132-138
Remember our hardships endured.
Remember David's mantra:
I will not even sleep until
I find a place for the Lord.
Until I find a place for my Lord
in all that I do, in all that I am.
Psalm 132:5.
An author once said:
"Either cling to Me as I AM or
reshape Me into who you want Me to be."
Larry Crabb
I've seen a few suns set in this life. And as I read these psalms, something stirs within. David was despised by family & friends. David never knew he would sit on a throne. David worshipped. Nothing mattered more to him than God.
The stakes are high to find a place for my Lord and not try to make Him fit into my life, my expectations, my rights. Here is David, who suffered well, singing in the midst. His passion for God is all-consuming his throne. From caves to thrones, He worshipped. And it didn't matter how hard he fell. He preached to himself the Gospel of Grace as Tripp called it: "Today in your private, life-interpreting conversation, will you preach to self the gospel of God's grace?"

God's Grace appears to you." Tim Keller 135 God, you'll never be out-of-date. God, you stand up for your people. God, you hold my hand through this wedding day. Psalm 136 Your Love will never quit. Psalm 137 We cried and cried and cried... Psalm 138 Thank You for what You have done! Everything in me says "Thank You!" Angels listen as I sing my thanks. I kneel in worship this wedding morn. Thank you for Your Love. Most Holy is Your Name. The moment I called out, You stepped in; You made my life large with Strength. Would you do it again this day for all of us. Make our lives a little larger. And where people are attracted to our flesh, reveal to us the way of escape to let You step in. Finish what you started in me,
