Psalm 82:3-4 ESV
Give justice to the weak and the fatherless; maintain the right of the afflicted and the destitute. Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked.”
Psalm 42:4
English Standard Version (ESV)
4 These things I remember,
as I pour out my soul:
how I would go with the throng
and lead them in procession to the house of God
with glad shouts and songs of praise,
a multitude keeping festival.
I've still been thinking about my day at the ocean yesterday and about how grateful I am that I didn't get stuck among the driftwood logs and to have to then get lifted out by the Coast Guard. Am I ever thankful for that! I'm also thankful for all the Rheumatoid Arthritis medications that fortified me for the day. When I was young, clambering around driftwood logs was fun, but now it's really, really scary! It would be ever so embarrassing to make the news as the old lady who fell down the log and couldn't get up. It's all too easy to bemoan what I used to do. Today the young man who lives in our house but doesn't want to be blogged about was rescued by answered prayer. The relief was great, giving me a chance to remind him that God had his back. Then I found myself singing an old hymn off key but with great gusto, "It is No Secret What God Can Do!" Now that was a song learned in childhood that I can still sing with praise.
It Is No Secret (What God Can Do)
The chimes of time ring out the news
Another day is through
Someone slipped and fell
Was that someone you?
You may have longed for added strength
Your courage to renew
Do not be disheartened
For I have news for you
It is no secret what God can do
What He's done for others, He'll do for you
With arms wide open, He'll pardon you
It is no secret what God can do
There is no night for in His light
You never walk alone
Always feel at home
Wherever you may go
There is no power can conquer you
While God is on your side
Take Him at His promise
Don't run away and hide
It is no secret what God can do
What He's done for others, He'll do for you
With arms wide open, He'll pardon you
It is no secret what God can do
