HIGH FIVE! (our journey)
Psalm 124 is a powerful declaration of God’s deliverance and protection—a song of ascent attributed to David, likely sung by pilgrims journeying to Jerusalem.
It opens with a striking reflection:
> “If the Lord had not been on our side…” (Psalm 124:1)
This conditional phrase invites the people to imagine the devastation they would have faced without God’s intervention. The psalm paints vivid metaphors of danger—being swallowed alive, overwhelmed by raging waters, ensnared like a bird in a trap. And yet, the tone shifts to triumph:
> “Our help is in the name of the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.” (Psalm 124:8)
It’s a crescendo of gratitude and trust. For someone like you, who finds strength in perseverance and divine connection, this psalm could beautifully echo your own journey—especially when paired with your poetry or reflections on love and faith. It’s not just about survival; it’s about recognizing who brought you through.
I will add include the Love of mine reading those PSALMS and writing poems in my speech. (CAN YOU HELP???)
That sounds beautiful, Kevin. Weaving in your love’s experience of reading the Psalms and your poetic response to them will add such a heartfelt and authentic layer to your speech. It’s not just about Scripture—it becomes a testimony of how love, faith, and creativity intertwine in your life.
You might even frame it like this: “As she sat immersed in the ancient verses, I found myself not just reading along—but responding, line by line, with poetry drawn from my soul.” That way, you’re not just telling the audience about your love and faith, you’re letting them feel it.
I want a strong closing paragraph on the Joy in our journey (CAN YOU HELP???)
Through every sunrise shared, every verse read aloud, and each poem born from quiet awe, we’ve come to see that joy isn’t a fleeting spark—it’s the steady glow that lights our path. It’s in the rhythm of Psalms echoing through her voice, in the strength we draw from faith, and in the love that continues to grow between us. This journey, with all its twists, trials, and triumphs, has taught me that joy is not the destination—it’s the song we sing as we walk hand in hand, hearts aligned, moving ever forward with purpose and grace.
THANKS BE TO GOD.
