A Word Of Hope

I am still sorting out the confusion in my mind about the wheats and weeds, and the soil and seeds issue.  But when I read Psalm 145 this morning I thought it was a good message about how God approached we who are all sinners and ;fall short of the glory of God."

¹ I will extol you, my God and King,

   and bless your name for ever and ever. 

² Every day I will bless you,

   and praise your name for ever and ever. 

³ Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised;

   his greatness is unsearchable……

⁸ The Lord is gracious and merciful,

   slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. 

⁹ The Lord is good to all,

   and his compassion is over all that he has made…. 

¹³ Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,

   and your dominion endures throughout all generations. 

The Lord is faithful in all his words,

   and gracious in all his deeds. 

¹⁴ The Lord upholds all who are falling,

   and raises up all who are bowed down. 

¹⁵ The eyes of all look to you,

   and you give them their food in due season. 

¹⁶ You open your hand,

   satisfying the desire of every living thing. 

¹⁷ The Lord is just in all his ways,

   and kind in all his doings. 

¹⁸ The Lord is near to all who call on him,

   to all who call on him in truth. 

¹⁹ He fulfills the desire of all who fear him;

   he also hears their cry, and saves them. 

²⁰ The Lord watches over all who love him,

   but all the wicked he will destroy. 

²¹ My mouth will speak the praise of the Lord,

   and all flesh will bless his holy name for ever and ever. (Psalm 145)
