Sunday Psalms;

Of David.

Psalms 144:3-8 CEB

What are human beings, LORD, 

that you know them at all? 

What are human beings that you even consider them?

Humans are like a puff of air;

their days go by like a shadow.

LORD, 

part your skies and come down! 

Touch the mountains so they smoke!

Flash lightning and scatter the enemy! Shoot your arrows and defeat them!

Stretch out your hand from above!

Rescue me and deliver me from deep water, from the power of strangers, 

whose mouths speak lies, 

and whose strong hand is a strong hand of deception!

Psalms 144:3-8 CEB

David opens his psalm grateful that God has given him the ability to fight, yet ends this part of the psalm overwhelmed by those who are against him, at the end of his ability to deal with those coming against him.

For all our abilities and strengths, there can be times when we might feel the same way, that the world, those with power, those who make decisions that impact us, we are powerless.

David highlights the difference between people and God, and wonders why God is even interested in us. And when he considers how powerful our God is, wants Him to drop in and sort out his problems. 

But our God is interested in us. 

Every one of us. 

Every "puff of air".

We don't have to figure out Love, just accept it. 

In all our frailties and limitations we are in fact, Beloved.
