All is quiet, calm and peaceful
In morning light, I have a conversation with Abba.
Holy worship, for Holy God…
Whispers of pure love
From God’s heart to mine…
A steady flow in time…
Light, comes dancing in the room…
Dispelling the gloom…
Dancing-light; flickering about;
Tiny beams among shadows fill the room with gladness…
Angels have come to worship the King with me…
My soul explodes into a million tiny eruptions as living waters flow from Emanuel’s veins,
JOY, overtakes me…
I am filled with an abundance of gratitude, and overpowering love for the one who gives me life!
No fear, no doubt, no pain; what remains is a knowing
That the angels have drawn near, to hear,
God’s child, worshipping the creator of all things!
The One who is, and who was, and who is to come!!!
Time spent with Papa God!

42 Psalms 42 and 43 were originally composed as one psalm and later made into two.
-
42 Korah was the great-grandson of Levi. The sons of Korah (translated here as the “prophetic singers of Korah’s clan”) were Levitical singers. David chose them to preside over the music of the tabernacle-tent on Mount Zion.

42:1 The literal Hebrew is “as the deer pants for the riverbank [water’s edge].” This translation takes the metaphor of a hunted deer and puts it into terms that transfer the meaning into today’s context. David was describing the passion and longing he had that was yet unfulfilled.
Psalm 46 New King James Version – God the Refuge of His People and Conqueror of the Nations
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. A Song for Alamoth.
46 God is our refuge and strength, A[a] very present help in trouble. 2 Therefore we will not fear, Even though the earth be removed, And though the mountains be carried into the [b]midst of the sea; 3 Though its waters roar and be troubled, Though the mountains shake with its swelling. Selah
4 There is a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God, The holy place of the [c]tabernacle of the Most High. 5 God is in the midst of her, she shall not be [d]moved; God shall help her, just [e]at the break of dawn. 6 The nations raged, the kingdoms were moved; He uttered His voice, the earth melted.
7 The Lord of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah
8 Come, behold the works of the Lord, Who has made desolations in the earth. 9 He makes wars cease to the end of the earth; He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two; He burns the chariot in the fire.
10 Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!
11 The Lord of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah
