In the Light of His Countenance

                                  Blessed are the people who know the joyful sound\!

                 They walk, O Lord, in the light

                     of Your countenance.
                   In Your name they rejoice all day long,
                    And in Your righteousness, they are exalted.
                  For You are the glory of their strength,
               And in Your favor our horn is exalted.

                                                                      Psalm 89:15-17(NKJV)


I came across this passage as I participated in a time of prayer and fasting. It caused me to pause and reflect on certain phrases.


who walk in the light of Your countenance

We, who claim to be believers in Jesus, must choose to walk with Him and do as He directs us.


In Your name they rejoice all day long,


From time to time in each day, we may have events, small or large, that cause us to give praise or thanks to Jesus for. Your list may be different from your best friend’s. We may give thanks for having the sunshine coming through our windows. We may feel thankful that we have heat or air-conditioning and fans, depending on the weather or time of year. We may receive an answer to prayer. We may give praise to God for the progress a friend has made after being severely ill.

Prayer: Father God, Thank You for Your presence each minute of the day. Thank You for everything You do for us from the time we awaken to the time we go to sleep. You are so precious to us. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. AMEN
