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 sensesGiver of desires

Thank you for the giftOf this good body

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

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

To taste your goodnessTo see your graceTo feel your peaceTo hear your kindnessTo taste your glory

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