Psalm 65:1-8

Psalm 65:1-8
The Message (MSG) 

  Next week, I'll be driving a 26' moving truck (our special yellow truck, as we tell Caleb) north to a new home.  I have a hunch it will handle a little differently than my station wagon, which zips right along, not weighing much in comparison to a moving truck filled with baggage.
  Baggage.  It's that stuff we bring with us, that we accumulate over a lifetime, that often slows us down.  Imagine how free you'd feel if you didn't have all that baggage weighing you down.
  When we come to God, we come loaded with the guilt, with the sins of our past, but God takes that load off our shoulders.  God releases us from the burden of guilt we carry, and God helps us to live into our true purpose, which is perfect and holy communion with God.  We don't achieve that on this side of heaven, but God points us in that direction, giving us glimpses of the Kingdom of God--we tune our ears and begin to hear dawn and dusk calling to each other, saying 'Come and worship'.
  Step by step, we draw closer to that life God has in store for us, so that when we step through the veil and into eternal life, we'll recognize parts of it from the glimpses we had on this side of the veil.

May you trust God with your burden on this day
