I’m not sure when it occurred to me that pleasure could be holy. But I know now it can. And perhaps pleasure can be just another doorway to experiencing God? 

Lectio Divina: Psalm 149:1-5

Prayer:

O Generous God,
Creator of my five senses
Giver of desires

Thank you for the gift
Of this good body

This good body that you’ve given me for pleasure
This good body that you’ve given me for worship

Help me, Caring Savior
To be kind to this very good body
To delight in this very good body

To taste your goodness
To see your grace
To feel your peace
To hear your kindness
To taste your glory

For the many, many ways you let me experience your love for me
I give you thanks.
