​Scripture of the Week:
​
Psalm 92

Of David.

It is good to praise the LORD,
to sing hymns to Your name, O Most High,

To proclaim Your steadfast love at daybreak,
Your faithfulness each night

With a ten-stringed harp,
with voice and lyre together.

You have gladdened me by Your deeds, O LORD;
I shout for joy at Your handiwork.

How great are Your works, O LORD,
how very subtle Or “profound.” Your designs!

A brutish man cannot know,
a fool cannot understand this:

though the wicked sprout like grass,
though all evildoers blossom,
it is only that they may be destroyed forever.

But You are exalted, O LORD, for all time.
Surely, Your enemies, O LORD,
surely, Your enemies perish;
all evildoers are scattered.

You raise my horn high like that of a wild ox;
I am soaked in freshening oil.

I shall see the defeat of my watchful foes,
hear of the downfall of the wicked who beset me.

The righteous bloom like a date-palm;
they thrive like a cedar in Lebanon;

planted in the house of the LORD,
they flourish in the courts of our God.

In old age they still produce fruit;
they are full of sap and freshness,

attesting that the LORD is upright,
my rock, in whom there is no wrong.

Rough Week

This has been a very rough week. Seems like every day was a challenge but nothing so big I could not handle the situations. Tempers got tested as well as having to deal with many different things. Tomorrow I am going to try and share a video of my daughter, Katrina. She sang Motions at church this past Sunday and it was very moving (pardon the pun). I mean tears in many eyes. Anyway I have been studying Proverbs and noticed something as I was going through my notes.  Did you know that the first seven chapters basically tell the child to "heed the words of the parent"?  When I realized this I did some more research of which I am in the process of writing something up. Let us just say that the father could be THE FATHER telling His children (US) to heed His Word. Reading and meditating on it, I see that the first part of the book is a look into the wisdom of following the Ten Commandments. That would be about right would it not. The first thing we want to teach a child who can comprehend right from wrong is God's Law. Then the child is told how to better distinguish and then given a reason why. I mean WOW, God opened that up to me in a way I never thought before. I think He was telling me to stop sweating the rough week because HE HAS CONTROL. There was so much going on and I was sweating things out of my touch so I raised my hands and asked God to take it and He did. Feeling much better after a day of rest. I have tended my garden (prepping for planting), put a pork butt in the smoker (10 pounder), did some laundry and mostly talked with the Father. Well, I better sign off for now, still have some work to do and get ready to take my best friend and wife to dinner. 
God Bless,
Rob
