Psalm 65

Recently, I read an interesting metaphor in an article published in a blog: "Even in his last years, grand pappy had a mind like a steel trap, only one that had been left out so long, it had rusted shut". The writer painted a vivid image with a touch of humour.

In Psalm 65:12-13, I am equally amazed at the metaphors used:

"The grasslands of the desert overflow; the hills are clothed with gladness. The meadows are covered with flocks and the valleys are mantled with grain; they shout for joy and sing".

It's heartening to know that despite our sins, God wants to bless us if we believe in Him:

"... We are filled with the good things of your house, of your holy temple" (Psalm 65:4).

"You crown the year with your bounty, and your carts overflow with abundance" (Psalm 65:11).

Let us come before God with a heart of thanksgiving --- that we will never face financial difficulty when we set our sights unto our provider.
