Psalm 111 (KJV): He hath given meat to those who fear him

From Psalms

Psalm 111

¹Praise ye the LORD.
I will praise the LORD with my whole heart,
      in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation.

²The works of the LORD are great,
      sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.
³His work is honourable and glorious:
      and his righteousness endureth for ever.
⁴He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered:
      the LORD is gracious and full of compassion.
⁵He hath given meat unto them that fear him:
      he will ever be mindful of his covenant.
⁶He hath shewed his people the power of his works,
      that he may give them the heritage of the heathen.
⁷The works of his hands are verity and judgment;
      all his commandments are sure.
⁸They stand fast for ever and ever,
      and are done in truth and uprightness.
⁹He sent redemption unto his people:
      he hath commanded his covenant for ever:
      holy and reverend is his name.

¹⁰The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom:
      a good understanding have all they that do his commandments:
      his praise endureth for ever.

In the last several weeks, I obviously haven't been showing my devotion to recovery or to God in this blog.  It started out innocently enough in that I had a trip and some time away with my wife and kids.  Since then, however, work was busy, things hadn't settled down, I couldn't find my groove, there were so many things going on...we all know the story.  God, and thus my recovery, had taken a lower priority.

That was until last night.  He presented me a unique opportunity to help me find my way back to him.  A unique small group.  It was through that small group that He was able to remind me of His commitment to me - and my commitment to Him.  In this way, He gave meat to His servant, and was mindful of His covenant.

All of His works, large and small, are verity and judgment, sure, done in truth and uprightness, are powerful, and stand fast for ever and ever.  This recovering addict is one of those works.  There is nothing small about the miracle of turning a wretch into a treasure.

Thanks for letting me share.
