Psalm 146:8: The Lord opens the eyes of the blind; the Lord raises those who are bowed down; The Lord loves the righteous.
Experiencing Jesus in the Psalms
Jehovah consoles the bereaved, cheers the defeated, solaces the despondent, comforts the despairing. Let those who are bowed to the ground appeal to him, and he will speedily upraise them. He gives to them the love of content, communion, and reward. Loved ones, you must never pause from his praise whose infinite love has made you what you are! 1

Praise and Prayer
Thank You, Father, for your never ending love and grace upon me. Dear Jesus, teach me to press on in faith, especially when I am weary and faithless.
To my DiscipleshipLiving Friends: Thank you for sharing the last nine months with me as we sought the heart of God through Psalms, which will be completed on Saturday. Then on Sunday, we will begin a new series called Jesus and His Church from Revelation 2 and 3. I look forward to continuing our Discipleship journey together. Thankful for your prayers, as we await His glorious return. – Pastor Tom.
