Psalm 93 New Living Translation (NLT)
During my quiet times, I sometimes sit looking out over the beauty of creation and allow my thoughts to wander in the Love of God. It is a special time where I give myself permission to let go of thoughts of pressing duties or expectations and I just enjoy the freedom to daydream about life. If you know me at all, you realize this place of wandering is an exercise in discipline because I function by a to-do list and a schedule of order most of the time because the many responsibilities I carry require it. These quiet moments are gifts for Mary, because they allow me to focus on things beyond my influence and control; they allow me to remember Who is actually in control.
1
The Lord is king! He is robed in majesty.
Indeed, the Lord is robed in majesty and armed with strength.
The world stands firm
and cannot be shaken.
2
Your throne, O Lord, has stood from time immemorial.
You yourself are from the everlasting past.
3
The floods have risen up, O Lord.
The floods have roared like thunder;
the floods have lifted their pounding waves.
4
But mightier than the violent raging of the seas,
mightier than the breakers on the shore—
the Lord above is mightier than these!
5
Your royal laws cannot be changed.
Your reign, O Lord, is holy forever and ever.
