Sorry I missed yesterday!! Instead of focusing on only one book of the bible I guess we can move btwn verses, Ezra, Psalms or anything else
hmm Psalm...

Psalm 138

Of David.

1 I will praise you, O LORD, with all my heart;
before the "gods" I will sing your praise.

2 I will bow down toward your holy temple
and will praise your name
for your love and your faithfulness,
for you have exalted above all things
your name and your word.

3 When I called, you answered me;
you made me bold and stouthearted.

4 May all the kings of the earth praise you, O LORD,
when they hear the words of your mouth.

5 May they sing of the ways of the LORD,
for the glory of the LORD is great.

6 Though the LORD is on high, he looks upon the lowly,
but the proud he knows from afar.

7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble,
you preserve my life;
you stretch out your hand against the anger of my foes,
with your right hand you save me.

8 The LORD will fulfill his purpose for me;
your love, O LORD, endures forever—
do not abandon the works of your hands.

So one major down fall of the bible is that a lot of the time we have no clue what many of the words mean and if you get a new century bible or even niv it doesnt have the same flow I guess you could say. So to save the day- www.dictionary.com

stouthearted- brave and resolute; dauntless.
lowly- humble in station, condition, or nature

Well since this is shorter same & NIV there arent that many words to look into- not that stouthearted and lowly are huge words but its always good to understand the deeper meaning of everything.

Its a pretty straight forward Psalm- Technically its stating all the magnificent things the Lord has done for us- even today-
I hope my devotional posts arent so shallow for too long- even so I hope you enjoyed it

May God strengthen your hearts and show you that anything can be done with him by your side
God Bless Yall :]
