PSALM 143

Hear my prayer, O Lord, give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, and in thy righteousness.


And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man living be justified.


For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten my life down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead.


Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate.


I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I muse on the work of thy hands.


I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah.


Hear me speedily, O Lord: my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit.


Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee.


Deliver me, O Lord, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me.


Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.


 Quicken me, O Lord, for thy name's sake: for thy righteousness' sake bring my soul out of trouble.


 And of thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I am thy servant.

Nothing But The Cross ( Galatians 6 : THE MESSAGE)

 Live creatively, friends. If someone falls into sin, forgivingly restore him, saving your critical comments for yourself. You might be needing forgiveness before the day is out. Stoop down and reach out to those who are oppressed. Share their burdens, and so complete Christ's law. If you think you are too good for that, you are badly deceived. Eugene H. Peterson Isaiah 53

A Full Life In The Emptiest Of Places ( ISAIAH 58) THE MESSAGE

Image
"If you get rid of unfair practices, quit blaming victims, quit gossiping about other people's sins. If you are generous with the hungry and start giving yourselves to the down-and-out, Your lives will begin to glow in the darkness, your shadowed lives will be bathed in sunlight. I will always show you where to go. I will give you full life in the emptiest of places- firm muscles  strong bones. You'll be like a well watered garden, a gurgling spring that never runs dry. You'll use the old rubble of past lives to build anew, rebuild the foundations from out of your past. You'll be known as those who can fix anything, restore old ruins, rebuild and renovate, make the community livable again. "If you watch your step on the Sabbath and don't use my day for personal advantage, If you treat the Sabbath as a day of joy, God's holy day as a celebration. If you honor it by refusing 'business as usual,' making money running here and there- The you will b...

Child, Child

Image
 Child, child, love while you can The voice and the eyes and the soul of a man, Never fear though it break your heart - Out of the wound new joy will start; Only love proudly and gladly and well Though love be heaven or love be hell. Child, child, love while you may, For life is short as a happy day; Never fear the thing you feel - Only by love is life made real; Love, for the deadly sins are seven, Only through love will you enter heaven.
