Psalm 130 ~ my soul waits and in His Word I hope

 

 

Psalm 130

1 Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord!

2 O Lord, hear my voice!

Let your ears be attentive

to the voice of my pleas for mercy!

3 If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities,

O Lord, who could stand?

4 But with you there is forgiveness,

that you may be feared.

5 I wait for the Lord, my soul waits,

and in His word I hope;

6 my soul waits for the Lord

more than watchmen for the morning,

more than watchmen for the morning.

7 O Israel, hope in the Lord!

For with the Lord there is steadfast love,

and with Him is plentiful redemption.

8 And He will redeem Israel

from all his iniquities!

The next question would be speculation as to why people are less violent?

We are not seeing less violence in the cities.  Why less violent on the airplanes? 

The violence, in the cities, has to do with crime.  Historically, Galveston, Texas sees an increase in crime when there are hurricanes and necessary supplies are threatened.  And in the 1949 flooding, a Mayor of Galveston invited all the people of Galveston to walk in any front yard to get out of the water in the street. At the end of the 1970s, a new Mayor invited Galveston to have fenced in front and backyards, Crime dropped exponentially. 

Why are people more patient with each other? 

It's not masks. Because masks have been gone for 14 months.

People understand the common denominator for this era is suffering. Mortgages are askingescrow, on potential taxes - that doesn't exist. Mortgages should be a standard cost and, instead, it's up.  Utilities in August in Texas would make most people gasp. 100% increase is known in our area for water and is a tradition the newspapers discuss. Weather is a suffering subject. 

Ralph Lauren, the man, has always had a talent for making ordinary objects brighter and more beautiful. He discovered when the gangs decided to all begin wearing his clothing, plenty of people found his happy life advertising a bummer.  And a documentary was done on his life to find out, this was a national opinion. 

No one feels their suffering is something people cannot understand. And gently does it, is increasing.

Pandemics usually mark an improvement in human life. A Building Up Experience. After the crazy and violent impulses have happened.  We have yet to find what will Build Up Life. But we might be on to something ... Again.

Abba, Father,

We see so many sights in this life

that generations before us have not seen.

You gave Jesus Ascent into Heaven

letting us know

where Jesus is.

We have lived in turbulent times

and see parents with small children

having concern written on their faces.

And in this mercy we hope

for one another

we will build

up the Body of Christ

Stronger,

Mercifully

and filled with Love.

In Jesus, we ask

Dwell in us, Father

Send Your Holy Spirit as Helper

Dwell in those we love

and 

Help us to seek You first

And in Jesus,

we will finish well.

Making our hearts, mind and soul where Jesus is proud of us.

 Today and tomorrow!

Our prayers. Our works. Our words. Our Hope. Our Future.

 Jesus be in these hopes for a plan.

Send Your Word, Please. 

You uphold the Universe With Your Word.

We lift up to Your Mercy, for Maui to have relief rain

from the wildfires.

We pray with Texas for the weather to have gentle rain. 

God bless.

Our God is working. His Son, 

Jesus is working.

And we say Amen in Jesus.
