DAWG, part 2
Highlights from Psalm 146, my comments in italicized parentheses
3You can’t depend on anyone, not even a great leader. 4Once they die and are buried, that will be the end of all their plans.
(The nation cried out for hope and change, putting their hopes in a new leader. He may have greater days still ahead. I hope he does, for the sake of the nation. Yet my true hope, my lasting hope, is in you alone. No person in history, save for Jesus, has changed the world. He alone overcame death, and his impact is everlasting.)
God always keeps his word. 7He gives justice to the poor and food to the hungry. The LORD sets prisoners free 8and heals blind eyes.
(You are the only hope for justice in this world. You alone are not compromised by sin or by self. Your holiness transcends everything. It defines your actions, explains your motives, embellishes all your characteristics. You have set me free from the prisons of my life. You have given me sight of eternity. You allow me to see the invisible with eyes of faith.)
