Pentecost 15b - Psalm 146

Psalm 146

Trusting in the temporal is no help at all when what one hopes for is eternal. That doesn’t mean we do not put stock in the here and now. The Lord does not care for the stranger or sustain the orphan and widow or frustrate the wicked without help. Even opening the eyes of the blind and lifting up the bowed down calls for the loved by the Lord righteous to be involved. But when I’m finished praising the Lord “as long as I live” I hope there is a refrain that follows my life long singing. That means we live our lives anticipating what will be while being fully engaged in what is.
