Preparation Day: 112
About Preparation Day
Praise the LORD!
Blessed is the man who fears the LORD,
who greatly delights in his commandments!
His offspring will be mighty in the land;
the generation of the upright will be blessed.
Wealth and riches are in his house,
and his righteousness endures forever.
Light dawns in the darkness for the upright;
he is gracious, merciful, and righteous.
It is well with the man who deals generously and lends;
who conducts his affairs with justice.
For the righteous will never be moved;
he will be remembered forever.
He is not afraid of bad news;
his heart is firm, trusting in the LORD.
His heart is steady; he will not be afraid,
until he looks in triumph on his adversaries.
He has distributed freely; he has given to the poor;
his righteousness endures forever;
his horn is exalted in honor.
The wicked man sees it and is angry;
he gnashes his teeth and melts away;
the desire of the wicked will perish!
Praise the LORD!
Blessed is the man who fears the LORD,
who greatly delights in his commandments!

The light in this photo…amazing!
Love these words: He is not afraid of bad news;
his heart is firm, trusting in the LORD.
Hanging on to them.

That photo is incredible — do I say that every single time I come here?!
I read Psalm 51 this week…remember we talked about that when I wrote the jealousy post? Thank you for directing me to that one, Lyla — I read it through about 4 times straight. There was a line in there, something about brokenness, that struck me as just perfect. Of course I can’t recall it now. But it was perfect. So thank you.

“The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit;
a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.”
Something like that, I believe? Of all the things we can bring to him…
