Wisdom from the Psalms


Psalm 89:15
Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O
Lord, in the light of thy countenance.
Magic! No matter where the children were, they heard it. It called them
from their homework, their play, their naps, their chores. In an
instant, heads came up, slightly cocked, in order to hear the delicate
chimes. The ice cream man! No greater sound could be found. From every
corner of the neighborhood, children with beaming faces were drawn
magically to the little wine cart, with its row of silver bells.
When the voice of the Lord calls out to us, may we respond to it with
the same childlike glee that our youngsters demonstrate at the approach
of the ice cream man. May the name of the Lord bring joy to our hearts
and smiles to our faces.
Prayer:
Fill me with a joy that remains untouched by the trials of the day. When
I hear Your name, Lord, let me respond in jubilation. Be the source of
my comfort and peace. Amen.
