Acknowledging and joyfully living the power of God has been transmitted from the psalmists to the early saints to us today. As always, our response to God is our choice. We can read and think all we want to, but praise and thanks of our lips and obedience of heart, mind and soul is ours alone to exercise. In this vein, I love what St Patrick wrote around 430 AD/CE: "I bind myself today to the power of God to hold and lead, his eye to watch, his might to stay, his ear to hearken to my need. The wisdom of my God to teach, his hand to guide, his shield to ward, the Word of God to give me speech, His heavenly host to be my guard."
