Peter 1/27/2015 11:40:35 PM MST | Hello Sol I want to welcome you to this forum. Thank you for the scriptural references. Faith is indeed a powerful part of our healing. God is definitely moving in your life. I have a question for you. Are you spending time reading past posts? I am very interested in better understanding what you are learning. Sharing the things here that are making a difference for you can really benefit others too. Strength and Love, Peter |
Mary 1/27/2015 10:46:29 AM MST | Welcome Sol! And thank you for sharing the beautiful Psalms! That book is one of my favorites and you inspired me to read it again. The Lord is our awesome shepherd....I wish you much success on your test and look forward getting to know you once you are through it and on the other side of it. So until then, take care and much appreciation for your efforts to provide the actual Psalms you found so inspirational instead of simply referencing as I did. That was a very caring extra mile that you went for us. God Bless! Mary |
Sol 1/26/2015 3:10:55 PM MST | Is it just me or does this psalm really hit home and describe what we're going trough? Chapter 38 A prayer for every individual, bewailing the length of the exile. One who is in distress should recite this psalm, hence its introduction, "A psalm... to remind" (to remind us to recite it in times of distress). One can also derive many lessons from it. 1. A psalm by David, to remind. 2. O Lord, do not rebuke me in Your anger, nor chastise me in Your wrath. 3. For Your arrows have landed in me, Your hand descended upon me. 4. There is no soundness in my flesh because of Your rage, no peace in my bones because of my sin. 5. For my iniquities have flooded over my head; like a heavy load, they are too heavy for me. 6. My wounds are rotted; they reek because of my foolishness. 7. I am bent and extremely bowed; all day I go about in gloom. 8. My sides are inflamed; there is no soundness in my flesh. 9. I am weakened and extremely depressed; I howl from the moaning of my heart. 10. My Lord, all that I desire is before You; my sighing is not hidden from You. 11. My heart is engulfed, my strength has left me; the light of my eyes they, too, are not with me. 12. My friends and companions stand aloof from my affliction; my intimates stand afar. 13. The seekers of my life have laid traps; those who seek my harm speak destructiveness; they utter deceits all day long. 14. But I am like a deaf man, I do not hear; like a mute that does not open his mouth. 15. I was like a man that does not perceive, and in whose mouth there are no rebuttals. 16. Because for You, O Lord, I wait; You will answer, my Lord, my God. 17. For I said, "Lest they rejoice over me; when my foot falters they will gloat over me.” 18. For I am accustomed to limping, and my pain is constantly before me. 19. For I admit my iniquity; I worry because of my sin. 20. But my enemies abound with life; those who hate me without cause flourish. 21. Those who repay evil for good resent me for my pursuit of good. 22. Do not forsake me, O Lord; do not be distant from me, my God. 23. Hurry to my aid, O my Lord, my Salvation. |
