July 4 "Lean Souls" Psalms 106 - 107

No sin,
No suffering,
Stops us from ascribing glory to God.
Bless His Name.

May the ambition of our hearts
be bountiful.  No lean souls.

Charles Spurgeon writes that this Psalm begins and ends with Hallelujah! Blessed be His Name.  And all the space inbetween bemoans Israel's sin and the extraordinary patience of our God.  "We do well to bless the Lord both at the beginning and the end of our meditations when sin and grace are the themes." This sacred song is occupied with the historical part of the OT.  It's the history that David holds. Spurgeon said the history of Israel is "so depreciated and yet David esteemed them beyond his necessary food, and made them his songs in the house of pilgrimage."  Human sin.  Divine Goodness over all rising generations.

Will our nation before God see their sin this 4th of July
May we see our own sin against the Most High
and adore His Holy Infinite Patience.
All Glory ascribed to God.

"But soon they forgot what He had done.
And they did not wait 
for His Plan to unfold."
Psalm 106:13

And in the desert
they gave in!

May we wrestle well in these deserts of ours.

DEAR GOD, PLEASE CHANGE ME IN THESE 10,000 MOMENTS OF YOUR PLAN UNFOLDING.  Help me to wait!  Help me to believe when I can't see the Unfolding Plan.  May I praise you at the beginning and the end of all matters.
