Sunday Reflection: The path

Today's reflection is brought to you by

Psalm 16.

You,

O God,

are the path for my life,

you are my joy,

and you are my destination.

You

are all that I ever need,

my sustenance

is the breath You give me

just as much as the food I eat

or the cup I drink.

You 

hold my very existence

in your more-than-capable 

(and more-than-loving) hands.

So I keep my eyes fixed on You,

seeing You in every sunrise

or snowflake,

in every stranger's smile.

When I remember

that 

You 

are always with me,

my worries cannot move me.

My entire being celebrates your presence:

my heart is happy,

my soul turns somersaults,

and my body rests in the peace I find in You.

You 

are the path for my life,

you are my joy,

and you are my destination.

Let me remember You

in the midst of the darkness and struggle

that lives in every life.

May my life

show others that

You,

O God,

are the path for every life,

You are its joy,

and You are its destination.

My my life help others to discover that 

You

are all that our lives need;

our sustenance

is the breath you give us

just as much as the food we eat

or the cup we drink.

You hold our very existence

in your more-than-capable

(and more-than-loving) hands...

Thank You.

+Amen.

Psalm 16 is one of my favourites, especially the version below. How I loved to sing the alto part with my sister singing the soprano. Deep gratitude to Marty Haugen for all his beautiful music, but especially this one.
