This came after reading and thinking about Isaiah 26:7, Psalm 37:23-24, and Job 5:17-19


Blessed is the righteous man who's path is established by the LORD
His path is an extension of the character of God
Life giving and that more abundantly
The LORD delights to order my steps
I delight to receive it
The LORD loves those He chasten
I shall not despise it, I shall delight in it
He bruises, but He bind up
He wounds, but His hands make whole
I shall not despise it, I shall delight in it
Blessed is the righteous man who's path is established by the LORD
Along it there's a time of discipline birthed from Love.
I shall be trained by it yielding fruit of righteousness
I shall not despise it, I shall delight in it
Even though You bruise, I shall praise You
Even though You wound, I shall thank You
For I know You will bind me up and make me whole
But most importantly, I'll praise because
You have full control
I shall not despise it, I shall delight in it
I'd rather my heart be broken by the One who invented the heart
Than it broken from mortal man, who has no clue how to fix it.
I shall not despise You
I shall delight in You
