138

A dear friend sent me her reading from the other day - amazing how David also seems to be writing to me ....

PSALM 138, of David

1 I will praise you, O Lord, with all my heart; before the "gods" I will sing your praise.

2 I will bow down toward your holy temple and will praise your name for your love and your faithfulness, for you have exalted above all things your name and your word.

3 When I called, you answered me; you made me bold and stouthearted.

4 May all the kings of the earth praise you, O Lord, when they hear the words of your mouth.

5 May they sing of the ways of the Lord. for the glory of the Lord is great.

6 Though the Lord is on high, he looks upon the lowly, but the proud he knows from afar.

7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life; you stretch out your hand against the anger of my foes, with your right hand you save me.

8 The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me; your love, O Lord, endures forever - do not abandon the works of your hands.

Just a reminder that God has plans for our lives and He will bring us right through any difficulties we face. God is certainly taking care of us. He prepared us even for this journey - which is not the easiest - but I am so thankful for having dear friends, prayer and the Word.

GRACE AND PEACE!
