Even if wealth increases, don’t set your heart on it.
A Psalm of David
62
My soul waits in silence for God alone;
my salvation comes from him.
He alone is my rock and salvation,
my stronghold; I won’t be greatly moved.
How long will you assail a person
in order to murder him, all of you,
as if he were a sagging wall
or a shaky fence?
They only want to shake him from his height,
they take delight in lying —
with their mouths they bless,
but inwardly they curse.
(Selah)
My soul, wait in silence for God alone,
because my hope comes from him.
He alone is my rock and salvation,
my stronghold; I won’t be moved.
My safety and honor rest on God.
My strong rock and refuge are in God.
Trust in him, people, at all times;
pour out your heart before him;
God is a refuge for us.
(Selah)
Ordinary folks are merely a breath
and important people a sham;
if you lay them on a balance-scale, they go up —
both together are lighter than nothing.
Don’t put your trust in extortion,
don’t put false hopes in robbery;
even if wealth increases,
don’t set your heart on it.
God has spoken once, I have heard it twice:
strength belongs to God.
Also to you, Adonai, belongs grace;
for you reward all as their deeds deserve.

Amazing love....You wanted me to know
Romans 10:14,15
But how can they call on someone if they haven’t trusted in him? And how can they trust in someone if they haven’t heard about him? And how can they hear about someone if no one is proclaiming him? 15 And how can people proclaim him unless God sends them? — as the Tanakh puts it, “How beautiful are the feet of those announcing good news about good things!”
You Wanted Me To Know
Lord you came into this world
You left your crown upon your throne
Lord you came into this world
To make this sinner your own
You walked along the roads I walked
You brought the answers that I sought
You spoke of life eternally
And how you came to set me free
(ch) You said there’d come a time
When you would have to go
You said that you’d be back
How was I to know...?
Lord you came into this world
As a holy sacrifice
To bear my stripes upon your back
And for me be crucified
(ch) You said there’d come a time
When you would have to go
You said that you’d be back
How was I to know?
They’d crucify you ~ upon a tree
You’d suffer and die ~ to set me free
How was I to know?
How was I to know?
Lord you came into this world
You left your crown upon your throne
You died the death that I deserve
You paid the price ~ now I’m your own
You placed your seal on my heart
Your Holy Spirit by my side
You said ~ “Remember what I’ve done,”
“and please keep my love alive.”
(ch end)
You said your time had come
And that you had to go
You said that you’d be back
Back to take me home
You wanted me to know
