Longing.

This morning as I walked to the bus stop, I was listening to Brooke Fraser sing "Hosanna". In that moment, I was in awe. Struck with an inner longing to actually be before the Lord singing "Hosanna in the highest!", I had every desire in my physical body to drop to my knees in the street. I long for the day when pain is not what we face everyday. When we will all be together praising the Lord in harmony. I long for Him. What a simple yet so complex longing.

I then read Psalm 124 today. And I was again reminded that He is with us, He is with ME, where ever I go. Through everything He is there. It is a small taste of what it will be like to be with Him someday.

"What if the Lord had not been on our side? Let all Israel repeat: What if the Lord had not been on our side when people attacked us? They would have swallowed us alive in their burning anger. The waters would have engulfed us; a torent would have overwhelmed us. Yes, the raging waters of their fury would have overwhelmed our very lives. Praise the Lord, who did not let their teeth tear us apart! We escaped like a bird from a hunters trap. The trap is broken, and we are free! Our help is from teh Lord, who made heaven and earth."
