suddenly's

Psalm 92: 1 It is good to give thanks to the LORD,
to sing praises to the Most High.
2 It is good to proclaim your unfailing love in the morning, (dan note: is this a shameless plug by the psalmist for a quiet time early in the morning?)
your faithfulness in the evening, (dan note: & is this another shameless plug for another time of connection with God in the evening?)
3 accompanied by the ten-stringed harp and the melody of the lyre.
4 You thrill me, LORD, with all you have done for me!
I sing for joy because of what you have done. (dan note: in this, another "season change," I certainly can say that I'm once again amazed at what God continues to to be & do for me, in spite of me!!!)
5 O LORD, what great works you do!
And how deep are your thoughts.
6 Only a simpleton would not know,
and only a fool would not understand this:
7 Though the wicked sprout like weeds
and evildoers flourish,
they will be destroyed forever.
8 But you, O LORD, will be exalted forever.
9 Your enemies, LORD, will surely perish;
all evildoers will be scattered.
10 But You have made me as strong as a wild bull.
How refreshed I am by Your power. (dan note: as I go into another change in my life, it's good to remember Who's the Power-source for what's ahead)
11 My eyes have seen the downfall of my enemies;
my ears have heard the defeat of my wicked opponents.
12 But the godly will flourish like palm trees
and grow strong like the cedars of Lebanon.
13 For they are transplanted to the LORD's own house.
They flourish in the courts of our God.
14 Even in old age they will still produce fruit; they will remain vital and green. (dan note: a promise to hold on to at my age ;-)
15 They will declare, "The LORD is just!
He is my rock! (dan note: another thing to hold on to during change)
There is nothing but goodness in Him!"

It's amazing to me how suddenly the "suddenly's" can happen in our lives. One minute we're just rocking along, kinda singing, "la , la, la..." when something can come along & alter our life, sometimes for the good, sometimes not. Sometimes it's something we've been waiting on for a long time. And then - bip - it's there.

And what can really mess with us is if 2 "suddenly's" come along kinda back. All of a sudden our state is altered because what we've been waiting on has suddenly appeared, in a way we least expected it to.

And sometimes, we miss the overarching ramifications of a "suddenly" because we're blown away by the fact that it/they have come. Sometimes, tucked away in it, is something we've longed to see or hear, & missed it when we first experience it.

God's been kinda quiet the last few days. I'm glad He decided to drop something on me this morning.

I love y'all (I really do, ya know?)
