Psalms

I. My own Psalm

Nothing was I before You created me.
Though I didn't do anything knowing nothing,
There was You who created and loved me first.
What in the beginning was Your plan of my life?
How could this wretch call You my Father?
It was You who waited over time to save me.
I didn't do anything but piled sins before I believe.

Nothing is mine without Your permission.
Though I'm misunderstanding I am having my life.
There is Your mercy on me,so I'm still alive.
What is my plan, my hope, my desire on earth?
How can I make my dreams come true?
It is You who makes a plan and achieve it.
I am nothing but a piece of tool of God.

Nothing will not be my life 'cause I'm with You.
Though will I mistake again and again, I'll never forget You.
There will be joy always when I go with Your words.
What will be the outcome of my life at the last moment?
How will You greet me and be pleased with my earthly life?
It will be a story of happy ending and joyful beginning.
I will be a song of praise and a joy of God for ever.

II. Re-Writing Psalm23

The LORD is my provider;
   It comes from Him All that I need
 He raises me up from heartless world;
   He leads me into His heartful love
   He redeems my sin everyday,
He waits me on the crossroad
   Watching me, guides me to the right paths
Even when I committed
   the most terrible sin,
I will not give up my hope
   for You are ready to forgive me.
Your words and Your presence
   give me strength and joy
You prepare a triumph for me 
   in this our bloody cruel world
You wait me by enduring long
   My soul, my body recovered with blessings.
Surely You are always good and merciful
   and protect me all my life time,
and I will praise You everywhere every time
   forevermore.

III. Personal application

In the first Chapter of Book of Psalms, I can find all the things how I have to live in my life. I believe that God created the world to let us live joyfully. And, when we live joyfully, it makes God be pleased. But, this idea is incomplete and even very risky because the concept of 'joy' can be conflicted according to the peoples' viewpoints or their benefits.

But, concerning this matter, fortunately we have got a wisdom from the Book of Psalms.
This book teaches us very briefly and clearly like that the people of joys are who delight in the law of the Lord, mediating on it day and night(Psalms Ch1:1~2).  

Indeed! We can be joyful people when we keep God's commands delightedly and keep company with the God's words at all time. And it's the way we can please God.
Father God, please help me to delight in Your law, read the bible and mediate on Your words constantly.  -end-
