Sorry for the long lack of readings. Today's reading is a Psalm of praise, which seems appropriate in this season of celebration of God's amazing love in Christ. I especially value the reminder that human plans and power are very limited. Only God is eternal; whatever good or bad we see is only temporary. In the end God's love will prevail. Along the same lines, please keep the families and communities of Webster and the West Webster Fire Department in your prayers.
God bless,
Sam
Psalm 146:1-10
1Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord, O my soul!
2I will
praise the Lord as long as I live; I will sing praises to
my God all my life long.
3Do not put
your trust in princes, in mortals, in whom there is no help.
4When their
breath departs, they return to the earth; on that very day their plans perish.
5Happy are
those whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the Lord
their God,
6who made
heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them; who keeps faith forever;
7who executes
justice for the oppressed; who gives food to the hungry. The Lord
sets the prisoners free;
8the Lord opens the eyes of the blind. The Lord
lifts up those who are bowed down; the Lord loves the
righteous.
9The Lord watches over the strangers; he upholds the orphan and the
widow, but the way of the wicked he brings to ruin.
10The Lord will reign forever, your God, O Zion, for all generations.
Praise the Lord!
