Episode 154: Psalm 144

Today's meditation is on Psalm 144

I praise you, Lord. You are my rock. There is only one strong, safe, and secure place for me. You alone give me strength to endure. You train me for spiritual war, and outfit me for battle with your armor. You are my shelter of love and my fortress of faith. You wrap yourself around me as a secure shield. You are my loving ally, my tower of safety, my rescuer. I hide myself in the God who subdues enemies before me. 

O Lord, who am I that you should notice me, a mere mortal, yet your thoughts are constantly on me. In this life, I'm like a faint whisper, a mere breath of air, and my days on earth are like a passing shadow.

Yet, you opened the heavens, Lord, and came down. You conquered the enemy. You reached down from heaven and rescued me from bondage. 

I will sing a new song to you, O God! I will sing your praises. For you have made me victorious. You rescued me from a life of sin and death. You saved me from the dark power of the enemy. He is a liar, and the father of all lies. 

You delivered me. Because of your love and mercy, my descendants will flourish in their youth like well-nurtured plants. The women of my family will be like graceful pillars, carved to beautify a palace. Our barns will be filled with crops of every kind. The flocks in our fields will multiply by the thousands, even tens of thousands, and our oxen will be loaded down with produce.

You are my protector, Lord. No enemy will break through our walls, we will not be taken into captivity, there will be no cries of alarm in our town squares.

What bliss I experience when these blessings fall. I am happy to love and serve my God.

Until next time, be blessed and be a blessing.
