Praise

“Hallelujah! You who serve God, praise God! Just to speak his name is praise! Just to remember God is a blessing— now and tomorrow and always. From east to west, from dawn to dusk, keep lifting all your praises to God!”Psalms‬ ‭113‬:‭1‬-‭3‬ ‭MSG‬‬

We cannot forget God! The rising sun reminds us of His glory, as does the setting sun. In Tamworth Australia I would delight in the setting suns every day. My flat looked to the west and it was glorious. My photos on my phone speak of His glory.

Here in Nepal we do not see such glory. Although whilst walking yesterday, the sky was pink. That was the best effort the sky could make.

This morning is a wet morning, as was yesterday and the tree I look out on is losing its leaves. In winter it will be empty, save for the birds who nest there.

However, the light in the day tells me it is morning. I will rejoice that my name is written in heaven, that my God chooses to know my name. I rejoice that my God is still God in this land where thieves and murderers roam. My God protects me.

Yesterday an interim government was sworn in here in Nepal. However, because most of the jails were vandalised and the proisoners escaped, we remain in a curfew. The army is attempting to round up the prisoners.

Even in all this I will praise the Lord! May Your kingdom come Lord! Your will be done! Amen!
