The Lord upholds all who are falling
and raises up all who are bowed down.
The eyes of all look to you,
and you give them their food in due season.
You open your hand;
you satisfy the desire of every living thing.
The Lord is righteous in all his ways
and kind in all his works.
The Lord is near to all who call on him,
to all who call on him in truth.
He fulfills the desire of those who fear him;
he also hears their cry and saves them.
The Lord preserves all who love him,
but all the wicked he will destroy.
My mouth will speak the praise of the Lord,
and let all flesh bless his holy name forever and ever.
Psalm 145:14-21
My dad, who went to be with Jesus 25 years ago, always quoted these verses before a special occasion meal. These words were powerful when he spoke them years ago and even more so for me today.
This is powerful for me to read with a new emphasis. He is KIND in ALL His works…including my amputated right leg below the knee…and maybe He doesn’t intend that I should have a prosthetic. Wow. Maybe He wants me to be like Joni,,,only as myself in a unique ministry to glorify Him–Just As I Am. In which case, His grace is enough…
