Psalm 25
1 Unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
2 O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed,
let not mine enemies triumph over me.
4 Shew me thy ways, O Lord; teach me thy paths.
KJV
This is for you old timers who remember the charismatic renewal in the 70's. We sang this at Maranatha Gospel Tabernacle and at the Pittsburgh Charismatic Conference back then. I can still hear Pastor Joseph's rich baritone voice leading this. Many times I was in the band accompanying him, and we had a great time of worship. Good memories of high times of praise and worship and sweet tunes from my friends in the band. How good it is to lift up your soul to the Lord along with good friends and brothers, in a spirit of good fellowship and harmony.
9 The meek will he guide in judgment:
and the meek will he teach his way.
10 All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth
unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
I remember those sweet times and recall how clearly we could hear the Lord. In such an atmosphere of fellowship and worship, the Lord was easily able to teach us His ways. Mercy and truth seems like something that you could feel in the atmosphere. Those were wonderful days.
In due time, we all went our separate ways, as the Lord revealed out individual paths to us. However, no matter the number of miles between us, there is still that strong connection between us from those high times we experienced together. Worshiping the Lord together can fuse friends together, closer than brothers. It's really a preview of heaven when we will all be together again, worshipping the Lord around the throne, when we will never need to be apart from the Lord or each other ever again.
