Lazy Saturday.

Yep the title is true, it has been a lazy Saturday.  I love it too!  Lazy and productive.  I did a good bit of laundry, folded sock basket socks, organized my room a good bit more (my room is really small, so any oganization really helps), and ran to town for mamma.  The kind of  good/bad thing is I  have nothing to do tonight, so I think.  Something might come up later. 

Last night my youth group started back up hang out night at my youth pastor's house, it was fun, except buying $70s pizza...:-/.  But all was well in the end.

The Latest Post...

Well since my last post nothing much has happend, well nothing big.  Normal high school senior days, normal friends, normal family.  Just normal.  I want to shake it up, maybe take up a new hobby?  I thought about buying a puzzle a while back, but I would flip a table.  I want to try sewing, knitting, or scrapbooking.  Give me something to do besides TV and computer. 

I am also trying to decide if I want to sell wickless candle products (Sentsy) with my sister and best friend and bride to be.  We will be saving up for my first Disney World trip, friend her honeymoon (awwwwww!!!).
 

Psalms 62

Tonight I opened my Bible and started the reading, I opened Psalms 62.  Its pertty amazing!  So I looked up a comentary online and it was so good I decided to share it!  :-)  Heres what it said!

The Story of Psalm 62

David often became "strong in God". 1 Samuel 23:16 says, "Jonathan made David strong in God". 1 Samuel 30:6 says, "David made himself strong in the *LORD his God". What does this mean? It means that when David was weak or ill or afraid he asked God to give him help. Because he thought that God would do this, David felt strong again! In this psalm David makes himself ‘strong in God’ by thinking of God as his:

   ·    rock and strong rock

   ·    *fortress and *shelter

   ·    *safety and hope.

Maybe he did this when his son Absalom wanted to be king. David ran away and did not return until Absalom was dead. He says that it is silly to think that men and money can give you help. Also he says that it is stupid to try to do what God does not want.

What Psalm 62 means

Jeduthun was one of David’s singers and a music leader.

When he died, we think that they still called his group of singers "Jeduthun". They were part of his family.

Before we look at some of the verses, look at some interesting things in this psalm:

   ·    The word only comes 6 times in important places. The Hebrew word only gives us a lot of help in understanding the psalm. It is the first word in verses 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 and 9. This is not easy to do in English, so in verses 4 and 9 it comes later! The psalm says only God can give us help, men can only hurt us. These are the men that were David’s enemies.

   ·    There are many words that soldiers use: *fortress, *shelter, wall and *fence. In the psalm they are the walls and *fences round the soldiers to make them safe.

   ·    In verse 7 there is something that we often find in Hebrew poetry. Poetry is using words in a special way, so that they sound good. In the Hebrew psalm, God is the first and last word in the verse. This makes God special in the verse.

Verses 1, 2, 5 and 6: The word "*resting" here means more than not doing any work. It means not making any noise, and waiting for God to do something. In verse 2 "move me" means "stop me *resting on God". In other words, it means "stop me waiting for God to give me help". Now in verse 2 David says "move me much" but in verse 6 there is no "much". Nothing will move him at all! This often happens with Christians. They *trust God a little bit, and, when he sends help, they *trust him more! "Trust" means that you love, serve and obey God, and that he gives you hope that he will help you.

In verse 3 Bible students are not sure whether the breaking wall means David or his enemies. If it is David, the wall will not fall; if it is his enemies then they will soon fall over! Our translation makes David into the wall.

In verse 4 the "high place" may be the *fortress of verses 2 and 6. But it may be a "high place" in the government. As David was king, he had a very high place! At the end of the verse are words *like those that James said. James was Jesus’ brother. He wrote, "Out of the same mouth come good and bad words. My brothers, this should not happen" (James 3:10). In both Hebrew (the psalm) and Greek (James) "good words" are "*blessings" and "bad words" are "cursings".

In verse 8 David tells all the people ... and that includes us! … to tell God everything that is "in our hearts". This means everything that we think about. God is our *shelter as well, if we ask him for help.

Air does not weigh very much. In verse 9 David says that people do not weigh very much either! He means that they are not important. He is writing about the people that do not *trust in God. When we *trust God, we become the people that accept his kind love, verse 12. Some Bible students think that "all men" in this verse means those who were not rulers. "Everybody" means the rulers, or the government. But nobody is important until they accept God’s kind love. God wants everybody to accept his kind love!

Like I said AWESOME!!
