Psalm 113
English Standard Version, David Cochran Audio Bible
1 Praise the LORD! Praise, O servants of the LORD,
praise the name of the LORD!
2 Blessed be the name of the LORD
from this time forth and forevermore!
3 From the rising of the sun to its setting,
the name of the LORD is to be praised!
4 The LORD is high above all nations,
and his glory above the heavens!
5 Who is like the LORD our God,
who is seated on high,
6 who looks far down
on the heavens and the earth?
7 He raises the poor from the dust
and lifts the needy from the ash heap,
8 to make them sit with princes,
with the princes of his people.
9 He gives the barren woman a home,
making her the joyous mother of children.
Praise the LORD!
In our county, we are part of a 3 county wildfire going on in Texas. The stock markets. Politics. 3 Wars. Republican Presidential Nomination debate the WWII draft and how fair it was. The children of Ismael and the Children of Israel have trouble. Earthquakes.
Television documentaries - interviews with the families of the World Trade Center families - a loved one passed on. Children. The passengers of United 93, fighting to get home and not allowing the jet to kill more people - praying together the Lord's Prayer.
Each of the surviving family members are living their lives to bring honor to the lives of the ones they loved. Remembering them. Putting their fears behind them. Rebuilding. The work of the Holy Spirit. Each day gathering strength knowing Psalm 113 would be for us and for the ones we love, living or in God's Eternal Kingdom.
Job 33:26
then man prays to God, and he accepts him; he sees his face with a shout of joy, and he restores to man his righteousness
Thousands of years ago Job wondered why suffering existed. And learned to trust God to bring forth His plan, His healing. As Job trusted, he healed.
God raises us. He lifts us. He gives.
