I am a tender-hearted old bear, but that is not the same thing as having a heart of compassion. A heart of compassion is not only accessible to the cares of others but it spurs you to action. It requires you to DO something.
I pray we all have that kind of heart!
Psalm Sunday
I remembered some of the songs of ascents when traveling this weekend!
Psalm 127
A song of ascents. Of Solomon.
1 Unless the Lord builds the house,
the builders labor in vain.
Unless the Lord watches over the city,
the guards stand watch in vain.
2 In vain you rise early
and stay up late,
toiling for food to eat—
for he grants sleep to[a]those he loves.
3 Children are a heritage from the Lord,
offspring a reward from him.
4 Like arrows in the hands of a warrior
are children born in one’s youth.
5 Blessed is the man
whose quiver is full of them.
They will not be put to shame
when they contend with their opponents in court.
