THE LIVING WORDS OF CHRIST, THE PSALMS OF MY LIFE

GOD'S LIVING WORD FOR TODAY

Ephesians 6:10-17 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his
mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand
against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood,
but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark
world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full
armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and
after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of
truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place,
and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.
In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can
extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of
the Spirit, which is the word of God.

PSALMS OF JOY CHAPTER 94


1.  Blessed Trinity...exceeding all being, deity and goodness.
Teach me your heavenly wisdom,  set me upon the Rock
Lead me to your mystical heights,  where exceeds heavenly
lights...and carnal knowledge.

2.  Where your treasures lie hidden in Spirit's sacred silence.  It is
absolute and unchangeable, outshining all brilliance, surcharging
our blinded intellects....with utterly impalpable and invisible
glory, which heaven and earth declares.  Yes, glory that exceeds all
beauty.

3.  Blessed is your divine silence which teaches me to exercise your
faith in mystic contemplation...apart from my human logic.  Teach me to rest...not striving for union with you, and realizing I am the
workmanship of your hands.  I cannot contain that which exceeds
all existence.  Your love is fathomless and immeasurable.

4.  Forgive my pressing in.  I find myself climbing that proverbial tree, for a glimpse of You.  Deliver me from presumptuous delusions, and pre-digested words of whispers heard in the shadows of death... birthed out of ignorance of the Real Truth.  Lord, You are Truth.  Your truth that is beyond all positive and negative distinctions.  It prostrates me in all my human corruption.

5.  Father, even my God...I know that you call and draw all men to yourself.  I listen for no other voice but yours.  Lead me upon your path of righteousness...for Your name's sake.  Up that Holy ascent, forsaking even Divine enlightenment's, voices and heavenly utterances...my mind and logic plunged into the darkness of unknowing, which surrounds the immeasurable heights, depths and widths of Your Being.

6.  Father,  through the darkness and into the Light of Your Son,  into the enfoldment of your invisible and Holy Spirit made manifest in You, and raising me up to "New Life".  You are my dwelling place,
that temple not made with hands, of which I am.  Because you dwell in me, I have Hope sealed in my heart against that Day.  Your incomprehensible presence , again, prostrates my heart and mind in helpless abandon.

7.  You are truly unknowable in my flesh and blood...Holy Spirit reveal Christ in all His Holiness and fathomless love, that I might measure how far the fall in eons past.

8.  I am lost in imagery and allegoric symbolism...let me soar upward beyond all my intellectual conceptions.  Reduce me to absolute dumbness of speech and thought.  Embrace me with your own transcendent faith.

9.  You are the LIFE of the life of my soul.   10/13/96
