Wonderful pictures again.

Missed posting Psalm to yesterday's thread - here is today's.

There's a lot in it about God delivering the King (David) from his enemies, also something very appropriate for today's search for those who hide in caves....,and much more. The last part seems to be definitely something that would have been sung.

I wish we could all read this Psalm and "pray it" daily in unison - asking God to deliver the President and this country from our enemies....humbling ourselves before our God who is our True Deliverer. He will not falter or fail us if we would trust in Him and follow His will.

The rest of Psalm 18 (Part III)

       ³⁵You have also given me the shield of Your salvation;
        Your right hand has held me up,
        Your gentleness has made me great.
       ³⁶You enlarged my path under me,
        So my feet did not slip.

       ³⁷I have pursued my enemies and overtaken them;
        Neither did I turn back again till they were destroyed.
       ³⁸I have wounded them,
        So that they could not rise;
        They have fallen under my feet.
       ³⁹For You have armed me with strength for the battle;
        You have subdued under me those who rose up against me.
       ⁴⁰You have also given me the necks of my enemies,
        So that I destroyed those who hated me.
       ⁴¹They cried out, but there was none to save;
        Even to the LORD, but He did not answer them.
       ⁴²Then I beat them as fine as the dust before the wind;
        I cast them out like dirt in the streets.

       ⁴³You have delivered me from the strivings of the people;
        You have made me the head of the nations;
        A people I have not known shall serve me.
       ⁴⁴As soon as they hear of me they obey me;
        The foreigners submit to me.
       ⁴⁵The foreigners fade away,
        And come frightened from their hideouts.

       ⁴⁶The LORD lives!
        Blessed be my Rock!
        Let the God of my salvation be exalted.
       ⁴⁷It is God who avenges me,
        And subdues the peoples under me;
       ⁴⁸He delivers me from my enemies.
        You also lift me up above those who rise against me;
        You have delivered me from the violent man.
       ⁴⁹Therefore I will give thanks to You, O LORD, among the Gentiles,
        And sing praises to Your name.

       ⁵⁰Great deliverance He gives to His king,
        And shows mercy to His anointed,
        To David and his descendants forevermore.

Freedom I wanted to thank you for your steadfastness. And too all those I have emailed or freepmailed for solace when the going got tough.

Hopefully terror will take a holiday and allow all of us a time to catch our breath and bring sanity back.

I have learned so much from so many. I'm not a mover or shaker in the world of politics. Just a mom and wife whose only desire is that I may homeschool my children and teach them a love for this great country.

I'm thankful that even though I'm not a mover or shaker, Jim Robinson and his family has given me an outlet to speak my ideas and opinions to the world about issues that concern me. And to reach out to others that have that same desire.

It's good to be alive and thank God it's Friday.

44As soon as they hear of me they obey me; The foreigners submit to me. 45The foreigners fade away, And come frightened from their hideouts.

This surely speaks to the Gulf War also -- when we dropped those thunderous bombs (daisy cutters?) incessantly, till the Iraqis came out of their holes to surrender by the thousands.

Thanks, FWI, for doing this and helping to set a spiritual direction into a lovely thread. It does more good than we will know, any of us, while we remain on this earth, but one day the full effect and import of it will be known.
