Wednesday's Word: O Lord Whose Grace No Limits Comprehend (Psalm 51)

 



"Hide Your face from my sins and blot out all my iniquities.
Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.
Cast me not away from Your presence; take not Your Holy Spirit from me.
Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, and sustain me with a willing spirit.
(Psalm 51:9-12)

O Lord, whose grace no limits comprehend;

Sweet Lord, whose mercies stand from measure free;

To me that grace, to me that mercy send,

And wipe, O Lord my sins from sinful me.

Oh, cleanse, oh, wash, my foul iniquity;

Cleanse still my spots, still wash away my stainings,

Till stains and spots in me leave no remainings,


For, I, alas, acknowledging do know

My filthy fault, my faulty filthiness

To my soul's eye incessantly doth show,

Which done to Thee, to Thee I do confess,

Just Judge, True Witness, that for righteousness

Thy doom may pass against my guilt awarded,

Thy evidence for truth may be regarded.


My mother, lo, when I began to be,

Conceiving me, with me did sin conceive;

And as with living heat she cherished me,

Corruption did like cherishing receive.

But, lo, Thy love to purest good doth cleave,

And inward truth: which, hardly else discerned,

My truant soul in Thy hid school hath learned.


Then as Thyself to lepers hast assigned,

With hyssop, Lord, Thy hyssop, purge me so:

And that shall cleanse the lepry of my mind.

Make me over Thy mercy's streams to flow,

So shall my whiteness scorn the whitest snow.

To ear and heart send sounds and thoughts of gladness,

That bruised bones may dance away their sadness.


Thy ill-pleased eye from my misdeeds avert:

Cancel the registers my sins contain;

Create in me a pure, clean, spotless heart;

Inspire a sprite* where love of right may reign

Ah, cast me not from Thee; take not again

Thy breathing grace; against Thy comfort send me,

And let the guard of Thy free sprite attend me.


So I to them a guiding hand will be,

Whose faulty feet have wandered from Thy way,

And turned from sin will make return to Thee,

Whom turned from Thee sin erst had led astray.

O God,  God of my health, oh, do away

My bloody crime: so shall my tongue be raised

To praise Thy truth, enough cannot be praised.


Unlock my lips, shut up with sinful shame:

Then shall my mouth, O Lord, Thy honor sing.

For bleeding fuel for Thy altar's flame,

To gain Thy grace what boots it me to bring?

Burt-off'rings are to Thee no pleasant thing.

The sacrifice that God will hold respected,

Is the heart-broken soul, the sprite dejected.


Lastly, O Lord, how so I stand or fall,

Leave not Thy loved Zion to embrace;

But with Thy favor build up Salem's wall,

And still in peace, maintain that peaceful place.

Then shall Thou turn a well-accepting face

To sacred fires with offered gifts perfumed:

Till ev'n whole calves on altars be consumed.

Mary Sidney Herbert, the Countess of Pembroke, was said to be one of
 the most educated women of her time, comparable only to Queen Elizabeth I.
She could speak several languages, including Latin and possibly Greek. 

Although she lived in a society where education for women was mostly
frowned upon, for twenty years Mary was instrumental in the organization
and leadership of the Wilton Circle, an important and highly influential
literary society in England.  She was also the first woman to publish a
play written in English and the first woman to publish an original
pastoral piece, also in English, which she translated and published
from French and Italian.  Mary was the sister of the famous 
Elizabethan poet Sir Phillip Sidney.

Monday Meditation: For Who Is God But The Lord? And Who Is A Rock Except Our God?

 



David spoke to the Lord the words of this song on the day when
 the Lord delivered him from the hands of all his enemies and
from the hand of Saul.



King David's Song Of Praise To God
(1590)
Peter Candid
(1548-1628)
Flemish-born Mannerist painter



He said: The Lord is my Rock of escape from Saul and my Fortress
in the wilderness and my Deliverer.

My God, my Rock, in Him will I take refuge; my Shield and the Horn of my salvation;
 my Stronghold and my Refuge, my Savior-You save me from violence.

I call on the Lord, Who is worthy to be praised, and I am saved from my enemies.

For the waves of death enveloped me; the torrents of destruction made me afraid.

The cords of Sheol were entangling me; I encountered the snares of death.

In my distress I called upon the Lord; I cried to my God and He heard 
my voice from His temple; my cry came into His ears.

Then the earth reeled and quaked, the foundations of the heavens
 trembled and shook because He was angry.

Smoke went up from His nostrils and devouring fire from His mouth;
coals were kindled by it.

He bowed the heavens and came down; thick darkness was under His feet.

He rode on a cherub and flew: He was seen upon the wings of the wind.

He made darkness His enemy around Him, gathering the waters,
thick clouds of the skies.

Out of the brightness before Him coals of fire flamed forth.

The Lord thundered from heaven, and the Most High uttered His voice.

He sent out arrows and scattered them; lightning confused and troubled them.

The channels of the sea were visible, the foundations of the world were
uncovered at the rebuke of the Lord, at the blast of the breath of His nostrils.

He sent from above,  He took me; He drew me out of great waters.

He delivered me from my strong enemy,  from those who hated me,
for they were too mighty for me.

They came upon me in the day of my calamity, but the Lord was my stay.

He brought me forth into a large place; He delivered me
because He delighted in me.

The Lord rewarded me according to my uprightness with Him; 
He compensated and benefited me according to the cleanness of my hands.

For I have kept the ways of the Lord, and have not wickedly departed from my God.

For all His ordinances were before me; and from His statues I did not turn aside.

I was also blameless before Him and kept myself from guilt and iniquity.

Therefore the Lord has recompensed me according to my righteousness,
according to my cleanness in His holy sight.

Towards the loving and loyal You will show Yourself loving and loyal, and
 with the upright and blameless You will show Yourself upright and blameless.

To the pure You will show Yourself pure, and to the willful You
will show Yourself willful.

And the afflicted people You will deliver, but Your eyes are upon the haughty,
whom You will bring down.

For You, O Lord, are my Lamp, the Lord lightens my darkness.

For by You I run through a troop; by my God I leap over a wall.

As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the Lord is tried.
He is a Shield to all those who trust and take refuge in Him.

For who is God but the Lord?  And who is a Rock except our God?

God is my strong Fortress; He guides the blameless in His way and sets Him free.

(11 Samuel 22:1-33)

Saturday Poetry Corner: God Save The Flag

 


Washed in the blood of the brave and the blooming,

Snatched from the altars of insolent foes,

Burning with star-fires, but never consuming,

Flash its broad ribbons of lily and rose.



 American Marines Raising The Flag On Iwo Jima
(February 23, 1945)

Vainly the prophets of Baal would rend it,

Vainly his worshippers pray for its fall;

Thousands have died for it, millions defend it,

Emblem of justice and mercy to all;



Pro-Hamas Demonstrators Burn US Flag In Washington DC

Justice that reddens the sky with her terrors,

Mercy that comes with her white-handed train,

Soothing all passions, redeeming all errors,

Sheathing the sabre and breaking the chain.


Borne on the deluge of all usurpations,

Drifted our Ark o'er the desolate seas,

Bearing the rainbow of hope to the nations,

Torn from the storm-cloud and flung to the breeze!


God bless the Flag and its loyal defenders,

While its broad folds o'er the battle-field wave,

Till the dim star-wreath rekindles its splendors,

Washed from its stains in the blood of the brave!

Flashback Friday: They Don't Make 'Em Like My Daddy

 




Released in April, 1974,  country legend Loretta Lynn's tribute to her father Ted Webb,
"They Don't Make'Em Like My Daddy" was a big hit for her that summer, peaking
  at Number # 4 on the US Billboard Hot Country Singles chart.

My father, Anthony Brida was not a coal miner, but he was definitely, "one heck of a man 
who worked for what he got" building a successful trucking business with my mother
  while raising six kids.  It was not easy, but my Dad belonged to a generation of
men who believed that self-reliance and determination, along with hard work,
reaped their own rewards.  A quality of character which is sorely lacking 
in this once "great big land of freedom" of today.  I love you, Daddy.

Thursday's Thoughts: What A Real Leader Looks Like

 



"For everyone to whom much is given, of him shall much be required; and of
 him to whom men entrust much, they will require and demand all the more."
(Luke 12:48)



Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressing the U.S. Congress
(July 24, 2024)

"Contend, O Lord, with those who contend with me; fight against
those who fight against me!"
(Psalm 35:1)

I was never more proud of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin "Bibi" Netanyahu
for the powerful, soul-stirring speech he gave before Congress yesterday
in defense of his nation and people in their war with Hamas 
and the other enemies surrounding them.

  He is a true leader of his people.

He is the man chosen by God to lead Israel in such a time as this!

May God bless and protect Benjamin Netanyahu, his wife Sara, 
and their family in these dangerous and uncertain times.

"Behold, He who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep."
(Psalm 121:4)


On the other hand, I honestly tried to watch President Joe Biden's speech to
the nation last night- until he began singing the praises of Kamala Harris,
 of how experienced, tough, and capable she is.... I had to turn the channel.

  By the way, Kamala was a no-show for the speech given by
Prime Minister Netanyahu yesterday.

As Vice President she is expected to preside over the Senate
on such an occasion, however, "due to prior commitments"
she failed to attend the speech.  Shame on her.

"Where there is no vision, the people perish."
(Proverbs 29:18)

For we are not wrestling with flesh and blood, contending only with
physical opponents, but against the despotisms, against the powers,
against the master spirits who are the world rulers of this present darkness,
against the spirit forces of wickedness in the heavenly, supernatural sphere."
(Ephesians 6:12)


Some of the "good people" which Biden spoke about last night after they burned the American flag at
Union Station in Washington DC yesterday.  After incinerating Old Glory, these protesters hoisted up
the Palestinian flag. A Hamas flag was also spotted in the crowd.  The American flag was later
replaced  through the efforts of  Congressmen: Rep. Brandon Williams (R-NY),
Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX), and Rep. Derrick Van Orden (R-Wis)
 along with Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA).

I need, O Lord, a stronger faith,

In this poor heart of mine,

A faith to take Thee at Thy Word,

And all for Thee resign.


Grant me, O Lord, a living faith

That I may follow Thee,

Thro' joy or sorrow, doubt or fear,

Until Thy face I see.



A faith that to Thy promise clings

When clouds above me roll,

A faith that sweetly works by love

And purifies the soul.


Grant me, O Lord, a living faith

That I may follow Thee,

Thro' joy or sorrow, doubt or fear,

Until Thy face I see.


A faith that soars beyond the sky

And looks within the veil,

A faith that, till my latest hour,

Shall never, never fail.


Grant me, O Lord, a living faith

That I may follow Thee,

Thro' joy or sorrow, doubt or fear,

Until Thy face I see.


A patient, firm, enduring faith,

The Christian race to run,

A faith to teach me how to say,

"My Lord, Thy will be done."


Grant me, O Lord, a living faith

That I may follow Thee,

Thro' joy or sorrow, doubt or fear,

Until Thy face I see.
