A Word from the Word on Wednesday

I hate alliteration! But somehow when it comes time to title my posts I have this ridiculous urge to use alliteration! Gah!

Any-who . . . I just wanted to share with you all a Psalm that really struck me the other day. Psalm 146 -
Praise the LORD! Praise the LORD, O my soul!
While I live I will praise the LORD; I will sing praises to my God while I have my being.
Do not put your trust in princes, Nor in a son of man, in whom there is no help.
His spirit departs, he returns to his earth; In that very day his plans perish.
Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, Whose hope is in the LORD his God,
Who made heaven and earth, The sea, and all that is in them; Who keeps truth forever,
Who executes justice for the oppressed, Who gives food to the hungry. The LORD gives freedom to the prisoners.
The LORD opens the eyes of the blind; The LORD raises those who are bowed down; The LORD loves the righteous.
The LORD watches over the strangers; He relieves the fatherless and widow; But the way of the wicked He turns upside down.
The LORD shall reign forever-Your God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise the LORD!

The whole Psalm is really good. We need to remember more often that we need to trust in the God who is all the things and has done all the things listed above. But the part that struck me the most is the Psalmist's assertion that "I will sing praises to my God while I have my being." May that be true of my life and yours!



Keep on singing,
