beasts enlightened

Good morning brothers and sisters,
Please pray for our local presbytery as we meet today to consider issues of common concern. Our topic for today is prayer. The psalmist reflects on times of feeling far from God and feeling bitter. In wiser moments, the psalmist knows that God is always with him. God is always with us; even in dark times we are not alone.

God bless,

Sam




Psalm 73:21-28
21When my soul was embittered, when I was pricked in heart, 22I was stupid and ignorant; I was like a brute beast toward you. 23Nevertheless I am continually with you; you hold my right hand. 24You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will receive me with honor.

25Whom have I in heaven but you? And there is nothing on earth that I desire other than you. 26My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. 27Indeed, those who are far from you will perish; you put an end to those who are false to you. 28But for me it is good to be near God; I have made the Lord God my refuge, to tell of all your works.
