Continuing.

Teach me your way, O Lord, that I may walk in your truth,
unite my heart to fear your name.
I give thanks to you, O Lord my God, with my whole heart, and I will glorify your name forever.  For great is your steadfast love toward me...

Doing hard things, like learning how to trust, led me to reference Psalm 86 in my last post.  Psalm 86 is not done with me yet, or perhaps God isn't, or maybe it's one in the same?

I would really like to unite my heart.  It's like that crazy dog walker wielding ten dogs, all with their own agenda. Tangled leashes, loud and slobbery, hair flying everywhere.  Or maybe like me walking one dog...which can sometimes lead to the same results.  The good news is that I can ask God to make sense of the chaos and set it off in the right direction.  Thanks for asking first David.

And speaking of David, I noticed the voice speaking changes in the middle Psalm 89.  I pray it hits you and washes into the deep parts.
Of old you spoke in a vision to your godly one, and said:

"I have granted help to one who is mighty; I have exalted one chosen from the people. I have found David, my servant; with my holy oil I have anointed him, so that my hand shall be established with him; my arm also shall strengthen him.  The enemy shall not outwit him; the wicked shall not humble him.  I will crush his foes before him and strike down those who hate him.  My faithfulness and my steadfast love shall be with him, and in my name shall his horn be exalted.  I will set his hand on the sea and his right hand on the rivers.  He shall cry to me, 'You are my Father, my God, and the Rock of my salvation.' And I will make him the firstborn, the highest of the kings of the earth.  My steadfast love I will keep for him forever and my covenant will stand firm for him.  I will establish his offspring forever and his throne as the days of the heavens.  If his children forsake my law and do not walk according to my rules, if they violate my statues and do not keep my commandments, then I will punish their transgression with the rod and their iniquity with stripes, 

but I will not remove from him my steadfast love or be false to my faithfulness.  

I will not violate my covenant or alter the word that went forth from my lips.  Once for all I have sworn by my holiness; I will not lie to David.  His offspring shall endure forever, his throne as long as the sun before me.  Like the moon it shall be established forever, a faithful witness in the skies."

David, you are awesome.  I love your honesty and your perspective.  And I'm sorry, but nothing you say can compare to that.  You talk about it, but it holds a different weight when coming straight from the horse's mouth.  Especially when the "horse" is God.  Just sayin'.
