Preparation Day: 80
God, come back!
Smile your blessing smile:
That will be our salvation.
From Psalm 80 –
a testimony of Asaph
How well that we can look to God
when our face is set wrong,
that he may turn us,
and so his face shine on us,
as to bring blessing and
present deliverance to his people.
– J. N. Darby, quoted in
TheTreasury of David

Breathtaking photo! I’m going to go slip this into your comment at Still Saturday and hook it up with a thumbnail when Linky Tools is back up. Okay?

Darby’s words remind me of Peterson’s book on the Psalm’s of Ascent (I’m brain dead on the name) describing repentance like turning our head in order to change our mind. Beautiful photo as always Lyla. Thanks for the comment you left just now, always enjoy connecting with you friend.

Your photo evokes awe and joy! Such beauty! Thank you for sharing it.
How we yearn for God’s blessing, even when we know we don’t deserve it. We depend on His grace and mercy and He never disappoints.

My face is often “set wrong.” A truth that makes me so very grateful and humbled in the face of grace…

Nothing is more joyous than to “see” Him smile… and His coming is always on my outlook. Thanks for sharing.
