Praying the Psalms- Psalm 72

Jenny is on a journey of praying her way through the Psalms.  I was fortunate enough to join at the start.  Each weekend, we pray through one psalm and post our prayer and/or meditations on that psalm as the Lord leads. Check out her journey and join us in Praying the Psalms.
 
Psalm 72 

"He will be like rain falling on a mown field,
   like showers watering the earth."  Psalm 72: 6

What a beautiful picture of the tenderness of Jesus!  When all that is overgrown in my life is cut back to its appropriate place, my Jesus comes like rain to nourish and nurture me.  To provide what is needed for growth.

"Praise be to his glorious name forever;
   may the whole earth be filled with his glory.
            Amen and Amen."  Psalm 72: 19

Joining with the Psalmist this morning in a never ending song of praise to the One who cuts back the overgrowth and nourishes to make room for healthy growth.
