“Mentored By God” (Ps. 16:11) [Spanish Jerusalem Bible Series - Psalms sub-series] [Pandemic Series]

“You show the road of life”, he says
In Psalm I read this morning;
“My heart is filled with joy, that’s fine.”
Your presence is heart-warming.

Not for one day or two at most,
Perpetual Your presence;
With bliss that calms my fears within,
Like sacrificial incense.

Lord, life is good on Kingdom-layer
Above the fracas swirling;
Thanks for Your calming deep inside
While pinwheel’s fins are twirling.

You’re right – refreshment, we all need –
Translators work included;
Thanks for the many unseen hands –
Light brings when we’re deluded.

For we, as people, lose our way,
Have need for daily guiding;
Disciple us, o’er hearts hold sway
Here, where we are residing.

Lord, so discouraged, I become
As dust from daily travel,
Accumulates on sandaled feet
From pavement or from gravel.

It’s as I here refreshment gain
While reading Scripture’s pages,
I realize my current need,
Like people through the ages.

Help us to do our lives today
With second-wave approaching,
That when the sunset comes at last
Regret won’t be encroaching.

Thanks Lord for this.
