The first day of summer of this amazing year.
I'm diving into God's Word for this summer season and reading the entire "good book" in 90 days. A season is only 90 days long, getting His Word into my heart in a good "firehose" method is already a big blessing!
Your WORD have I hid in my heart, that I will not sin against Thee.
I want it hiding there, established there, putting down roots and growing an arbor of oak tree knowledge across the landscape of my life!
Once again I was looking at my granddaughter Evie and thinking about how Jesus laid down His life for her, that little precious one - born with the nature that echoes, "GIVE ME A SAVIOR!" I pray she and the the two, perfect darlings - Emily & Luke, whom I love SO much will grow to have His Word hid in their hearts too. The innocence of their young lives and adventurous hearts to just look ahead and wonder, "what's next?" It's ALL ahead of them. Lord guard and protect every single step.
Well, you and I don't have such young hearts ... yet the steadfast love of the Lord never ceases and His mercies never come to an end. They are NEW every morning. Great is His faithfulness. I see the new mercies of the Lord in the shouts and whispers of His Word as I traverse the words that are light and life. My heart swells with acknowledgement that His way is right, good and everlasting in it's greatness.
I look forward to tomorrow's read!
Summer is off to a sunny heart around Seattle and in my heart. Warmed by His love. Fueled by His truth.

In His Grip,
