Daily Devotion - Thursday, May 13

Rhythms in the Life Journey

“You visit the earth and water it, your greatly enrich it….”
--A songwriter announce his/her belief
in the Creator’s springtime goodness
Psalm 65: 9

This week’s devotional time is spent with prayers and thoughts about the life journey. The month of May is busy, busy, busy: end of school and graduations, births, weddings, even funerals, and just the general routine of daily living. Today’s verse is Stephen Mitchell’s adaptation of Psalm 1, recast in the setting of personal relationship of two souls merging into one.

“Blessed are the woman and the man
Who have grown beyond their greed
And have put an end to their hatred
And no longer nourish illusions.

“But they delight in the way things are
And keep their hearts open, day and night.
They are like trees planted near flowing rivers,
Which bear fruit when they are ready.
Their leaves will not fall or wither.
Everything they do will succeed.”
