Embraced

My heart has heard you say, “Come and talk with me.”
    And my heart responds, “Lord, I am coming.”

Psalm 27:8 NLT

Encircled by his
mighty arms I am
braced to stand.
Relying on sweet
Adonai to
cover me in
endless peace I
don’t quite comprehend.

Wait patiently for the Lord.
    Be brave and courageous.
    Yes, wait patiently for the Lord.

Psalm 27:14 NLT


Over the years something I learned in elementary school has become a spiritual practice. There are times I create acrostic poems with words much like the one in this post. I invite you to give it a try with your word for the year.

I am often humbly amazed at what God inspires and teaches me through this simple practice.
