"But let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy.  Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in you.  For surely, O LORD, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield."  Psalm 5:11,12

Today I'm taking refuge in my King.  I'm happy to be held in His embrace, lavished with His love, overwhelmed by His grace.  Truly my heart sings, and oh how I rejoice!  I could make a grateful list today of the marvelous ways Jesus enriches my life:  from fresh Colombian coffee, to brilliant sunshine, to encouragement from His Word, to sweet good-bye kisses from my husband....and that's just in the last hour!
Today I'm praying that I recognize His blessings in my life, that I grasp the favor He wraps me in.  I don't want to miss any of the gifts He pours out on me.  I may need to put on my" Jesus glasses", so that I can clearly see the ways He is blessing me.  His grace gifts often come wrapped in packages I don't expect, nor can I always understand at first.  I'm thankful that He is faithful to enable me to understand, that I may continue to rejoice in Him.

Today I marvel at my King.
