Personalities



Psalm 9[a][b]

For the director of music. To the tune of “The Death of the Son.” A psalm of David.

1  I will give thanks to you, Lord, with all my heart;
    I will tell of all your wonderful deeds.

2  I will be glad and rejoice in you;
    I will sing the praises of your name, O Most High.

3  My enemies turn back;
    they stumble and perish before you.

4  For you have upheld my right and my cause,
    sitting enthroned as the righteous judge.

5  You have rebuked the nations and destroyed the wicked;
    you have blotted out their name for ever and ever.

6  Endless ruin has overtaken my enemies,
    you have uprooted their cities;
    even the memory of them has perished.

7  The Lord reigns forever;
    he has established his throne for judgment.

8  He rules the world in righteousness
    and judges the peoples with equity.

9  The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed,
    a stronghold in times of trouble.

10  Those who know your name trust in you,
    for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you.

11  Sing the praises of the Lord, enthroned in Zion;

    proclaim among the nations what he has done.

12  For he who avenges blood remembers;

    he does not ignore the cries of the afflicted.

13  Lord, see how my enemies persecute me!

    Have mercy and lift me up from the gates of death,

14  that I may declare your praises

    in the gates of Daughter Zion,

    and there rejoice in your salvation.

15  The nations have fallen into the pit they have dug;

    their feet are caught in the net they have hidden.

16  The Lord is known by his acts of justice;

    the wicked are ensnared by the work of their hands.[c]

17  The wicked go down to the realm of the dead,

    all the nations that forget God.

18  But God will never forget the needy;

    the hope of the afflicted will never perish.

19  Arise, Lord, do not let mortals triumph;

    let the nations be judged in your presence.

20  Strike them with terror, Lord;

    let the nations know they are only mortal.

Back when I was playing in bands, our passionate desire was to "Get Signed". Well, some dear friends of our reached that goal, and now we never see them. They're ALWAYS "On Tour". I'm kind of glad I never got "Signed". The genre of music my friends perform is Reggae, and they have topped the Billboard Reggae Charts on more than one occaision. We still love them as friends, but from afar.

When David became King, his friendships, familial relationships, and marriage(s) all suffered. We see his lonliness reflected in a number of his Psalms, but his loyalty to God never wavers.

The principle of "Sowing and Reaping" is outlined in Today's Psalm (which, by the way, is an Acrostic, which is very hard to write!). The Biblical Principle differs from the Eastern Doctrine of "Karma", as it doesn't assume multiple lives; the retribution comes within one's own lifespan. It might take a season, but What You Sow is What You Reap.

Before I came to Faith in Jesus, I was a huge fan of Rock Music and early Reggae. My favorite album of that era was a live concert double album by Bob Marley called "Babylon by Bus".

Because Bob Marley was a Rastafarian, he believed that Haile Selassie (Emperor of Ethiopia from 1930 to 1974) was God in the flesh and that the whole world was "Babylon". As weird as this sounds, it wasn't too off-the-wall, as Haile Selassie could allegedly trace his ancestry to King David through the Queen of Sheba's son Menelek who said his father was King Solomon. That would have made him a "Son of David" and "From the Tribe of Judah". In fact, these were among his royal titles.

Disenfranchised people in Jamaica and Africa who believed that Haile Selassie was "The Second Coming" fully expected him to conquer the world and bring World Peace. Unfortunately, the beloved Emperor passed away, and, like all men, remained in his tomb. This would be a sad footnote in History, if it were not for the delightful form of music that issued forth from this movement called "Reggae".

One of my favorite songs on the Live Album (Small Axe) was a lesser-known Bob Marley song that borrowed heavily from Psalms and Proverbs. The refrain goes like this:

"Whosoever diggeth the pit
Shall Fall in it!"

Once again we see God's Principle of "Sowing and Reaping" carried out in this Psalm. The wicked fall into the pit that they have dug to entrap others. While it sometimes may seem to slow to suit us, God's timing is always perfect in the Cosmic Scheme of things. Those who are our enemies may seem to have the upper hand for a while, but soon, they begin to fall into their own traps that they have set for US. Sometimes we see this acted out right before our eyes, and sometimes it goes on behind the scenes, and we only find out about it later.

Come and Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem, For Our FRiends in Need, For Persecuted Believers, and For Our Beloved Nation.

Blessed Is The Nation Whose God Is The LORD (Psalm 33)

God Bless America.

Blessings To All Who Visit This Garden of Prayer.

Psalm 91

1 You who live in the shelter of the Most High,
who abide in the shadow of the Almighty,*
2 will say to the Lord, ‘My refuge and my fortress;
my God, in whom I trust.’
3 For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler
and from the deadly pestilence;
4 he will cover you with his pinions,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness is a shield and buckler.
5 You will not fear the terror of the night,
or the arrow that flies by day,
6 or the pestilence that stalks in darkness,
or the destruction that wastes at noonday.

7 A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
8 You will only look with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.

9 Because you have made the Lord your refuge,*
the Most High your dwelling-place,
10 no evil shall befall you,
no scourge come near your tent.

11 For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways.
12 On their hands they will bear you up,
so that you will not dash your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread on the lion and the adder,
the young lion and the serpent you will trample under foot.

14 Those who love me, I will deliver;
I will protect those who know my name.
15 When they call to me, I will answer them;
I will be with them in trouble,
I will rescue them and honour them.
16 With long life I will satisfy them,
and show them my salvation.
