A busy day for Sistertech. Glad to have it coming to a close. And what a lovely Psalm to end it with, Psalm 22:4-7. I couldn’t help sneaking in verse 4. It’s a familiar one. Even though I don’t imagine most people pray, “Dear One In Charge, just let me get to church one last time!” Many of my clients are not the “church going” types. This isn’t always a bad thing. I’m sure some of you have had simply ghastly experiences in some churches and glorious experiences in others. Verily, even in the same church, services vary wildly. As we say: YREMV – your religious experience may vary.
Sistertech urges you not to stress out too much on finding the perfect church to attend. Such an institution does not exist. It’s an acquired skill, but it’s nice sometimes just to bloom where one is planted.
4 One thing have I asked of the LORD,
that will I seek after:
that I may dwell in the house of the LORD
all the days of my life,
to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD
and to inquire in his temple.5 For he will hide me in his shelter
in the day of trouble;
he will conceal me under the cover of his tent;
he will lift me high upon a rock.6 And now my head shall be lifted up
above my enemies all around me,
and I will offer in his tent
sacrifices with shouts of joy;
I will sing and make melody to the LORD.7 Hear, O LORD, when I cry aloud;
be gracious to me and answer me!
