The day is slow and cloudy, but, in spite of everything - I've completed all of my unfinished projects and my table is clear. Yet, I know that I have unfinished time with Jesus - I need to spend time talking with Him - because, "blessed is the people whose God is the Lord." I hope I always have unfinished business with Him, for it will mean I am still growing....
Psalm 144
Praise be to the Lord my Rock,
who trains my
hands for war,
my fingers for
battle.
He is my loving God and my fortress,
my stronghold and
my deliverer,
my shield, in whom I take refuge,
who subdues
peoples under me.
Lord, what are human beings that you care for them,
mere mortals that
you think of them?
They are like a breath;
their days are
like a fleeting shadow.
Part your heavens, Lord, and come down;
touch the
mountains, so that they smoke.
Send forth lightning and scatter the enemy;
shoot your arrows
and rout them.
Reach down your hand from on high;
deliver me and
rescue me
from the mighty waters,
from the hands of
foreigners
whose mouths are full
of lies,
whose right hands
are deceitful.
I will sing a new song to you, my God;
on the
ten-stringed lyre I will make music to you,
to the One who gives
victory to kings,
who delivers his
servant David.
From the deadly sword
deliver me;
rescue me from the
hands of foreigners
whose mouths are full of lies,
whose right hands
are deceitful.
Then our sons in their youth
will be like
well-nurtured plants,
and our daughters will be like pillars
carved to adorn a
palace.
Our barns will be filled
with every kind of
provision.
Our sheep will increase by thousands,
by tens of
thousands in our fields;
our oxen will draw heavy loads.
There will be no breaching of walls,
no going into
captivity,
no cry of distress
in our streets.
Blessed is the people of whom this is true;
blessed is the
people whose God is the Lord.
