It’s All About the Knees (and Garden Photos that Please), Psalms 30 and 29, Praises Divine

Standard

It’s all about the knees, 

Whether you are down praying on them, “Lord Please!”

Or raising up low on them, Oh Geez!

Oh Lord, please Lord, help our knees. 

.

Our knees must bend and sway,

Carry burdening weight each day, 

If they give in or give way,

Let us know we will walk more freely someday. 

.

Whether you stroll, wander, or run,

Walk chasing the morning to evening sun, 

On a mission or just out for fun,

Let us walk the walk, talk the talk, and then some. 

.

So, let us take a few days of ease,

Listen to the seasonal breeze,

And praise and pray emotionally on our crucial knees,

Help us walk the path best, oh Lord how You please.

.

Life is all about talking to the Lord in ease.

Life is all about flexibility of following Him, and yes, the spiritual and physical knees.

Amen

(Attached are photos that please, from a walk yesterday where I did use my knees, up and down hills and chairs with still ease. A walk that I promised myself, an emotional gift to take a couple hours off for myself to get to the garden near work, a cultivated gorgeous rolling landscape…  Here I emotionally and physically prayed praises and thankfulness to the Lord for His faithfulness and mercy and blessings in my many trials and troubles, now blessings and incentives to keep moving: moment by moment, rest by rest, knee by knee, day by day appreciative of the Lord taking care of me, my family, my work, finances, ALL, AND OUR FUTURE TOO. Amen)

Psalm 30

New King James Version

The Blessedness of Answered Prayer

A Psalm. A Song at the dedication of the house of David.

I will extol You, O Lord, for You have lifted me up, And have not let my foes rejoice over me. O Lord my God, I cried out to You, And You healed me. O Lord, You brought my soul up from the grave; You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.

Sing praise to the Lord, you saints of His, And give thanks at the remembrance of His holy name. For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for life; Weeping may endure for a night, But joy comes in the morning.

Now in my prosperity I said, “I shall never be moved.” Lord, by Your favor You have made my mountain stand strong; You hid Your face, and I was troubled.

I cried out to You, O Lord; And to the Lord I made supplication: “What profit is there in my blood, When I go down to the pit? Will the dust praise You? Will it declare Your truth? Hear, O Lord, and have mercy on me; Lord, be my helper!”

You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; You have put off my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness, To the end that my glory may sing praise to You and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks to You forever.

Psalm 29

New King James Version

Praise to God in His Holiness and Majesty, 

A Psalm of David.

29 

Give unto the Lord, O you mighty ones, Give unto the Lord glory and strength. Give unto the Lord the glory due to His name; Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.

The voice of the Lord is over the waters; The God of glory thunders; The Lord is over many waters. The voice of the Lord is powerful; The voice of the Lord is full of majesty.

The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars, Yes, the Lord splinters the cedars of Lebanon. He makes them also skip like a calf, Lebanon and Sirion like a young wild ox. The voice of the Lord divides the flames of fire.

The voice of the Lord shakes the wilderness; The Lord shakes the Wilderness of Kadesh. The voice of the Lord makes the deer give birth, And strips the forests bare; And in His temple everyone says, “Glory!”

The Lord sat enthroned at the Flood, And the Lord sits as King forever. The Lord will give strength to His people; The Lord will bless His people with peace.
