Justice, Mercy, Gratitude

New American Standard Bible : PSALM 37:8
"For the LORD loves justice And does not abandon His godly ones; They are protected forever, But the descendants of the wicked will be eliminated."

LORD, who am I that you would consider me?
David said so in his song to The LORD
The One who created the stars, constellations, and waves
Who ended Sodom, Gomorrah, two more, and Noah's detractors
Yet David - and His people - are never forsaken
Brother, Sister ... you too have tasted and seen
The LORD is good, there is no evil in Him
Light just is: darkness leaves when Light enters space
My darknesses fled when Jesus was invited in
Through the Holy Spirit. Abba Father, I have Thee
Anywhere I can remember to trust You. I am slow
But You are patient with me; rescuing me often
I greet Thee today, before the sun rises (Rain greeted me)
And people traveling (in Thy Graces) talked with me
Already about justice and Faith and Favor
I intercede for all, even ones called "enemies,"
Because You also love mercy when we turn from our ways!
Glory to our Triune GOD as we thank LORD for another 24 hours

shalom shalom Good Sir, I humbly return the accolades to you and Jesus. The Bible truly makes me smarter than I am with my own thoughts. Quote the Bible's wisdom & truth & get seen as smart. But Jesus is Kinsman-Redeemer: paid for sins, restores me, & calls me relative (Book of Ruth).
