Rather than meditating on meaning today I reflect a bit on the difficulties of translating poetry.
The psalmist presents a lawgiver God, but also a creator who redeems and sustains.
Our hope is founded in God, who sustains and supports us.
Allowing ourselves to be influenced by the tactics of evildoers can be destructive.
In the chaos of life, we can look to the one whose words conquered darkness and chaos as our shield.
Sometimes we need to recognize that while we have limitations, faults, and failings, there are moral lines.
The Psalms are authentic in strength and weakness. We need to seek the highest goals while recognizing our limitations and our dependence on God.
I’m thankful for the heritage of scripture preserved by Israel and the Jewish people, and the treasure it is for all.
Can you be trapped by fatigue? By the challenge of fear? These can be daily attacks..
