An Encouraging Word

Was doing my early morning reading and these phrases from Psalm 61 hit home with me.  Good to remember as I carry out my vow to pastor His people.  “Hear my cry, O God, listen to my prayer; from the ends of the earth I call to you when my heart is faint.  Lead me to the rock that is higher than I, for you have been my refuge…So will I ever sing praises to your name, as I perform my vows day after day.” (vs. 1-3,8)

Lord, help me to sing your praises as I go about carrying out my vow to pastor your people.  Help me to embrace the day with a good measure of joy as I stand on You, my Rock!  Amen.
