Psalm 150

Psalm 150

It is a Psalm 150 day; a praise God day.

Can I praise him fpr being tired? Can I praise him for the empty brain and layers of dust and grime? Probably I can. I thrust hil to have a plan. Meanwhile spot the parrow who was just hopping amongst the rocks. I could see him because of tile spent by my friend clearing away the brambles and summer weeds.
Can you see him?

Jonah

Jonah 3:1-10,4:1-11


I love Jonah. He tells God just what he thinks. He does not hide his emotions from God, why should he? He gets his anger off his chest but does not quite move on, well not yet.

I used to have a devotional book with quotations from many sources. One of my favourites was Teresa of Avila. Since it was her day yesterday I had a glance a page which listed some of her quotations. The one which said hello to me was

“For prayer is nothing else than being on terms of friendship with God.” 

Jonah was completely at ease in his relationship with God.
