Words for the Season

Psalm 103:1-3, 19-22. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name. 2. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and do not forget all his benefits? 3. who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases, 4. who redeems your life from the Pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy, 5. who satisfies you with good as long as you live so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.
19. The Lord has established his throne in the heavens, and his kingdom rules over all. 20. Bless the Lord, O you his angels, you mighty ones who do his bidding, obedient to his spoken word. 21. Bless the Lord, all his hosts, his ministers that do his will. 22. Bless the Lord, all his works, in all places of his dominion. Bless the Lord, O my soul.
Vernie shares this scripture with each of you, words to accompany the report that Greg has little strength now. He primarily spends his day resting and sleeping, rarely able to strongly and coherently communicate with others.

The second scripture she lifts up for this season is Isaiah 28:21. The LORD will rise up as he did at Mount Perazim, he will rouse himself as in the Valley of Gibeon-- to do his work, his strange work, and perform his task, his alien task. She adds “God is able to perform … He can do an extraordinary thing in His sovereignty, even suddenly… I want to thank everyone again more than words can say for all the love and support continued to be given to us.’
