- Gratitude for the Lord's mercy
- Admonition to trust in the Lord
- Supplication and pleading for the Lord's divine strength and mercy.
In today's society, we rely in the building up of the individual rather than working together as a family, community, town, or country as we did in days past.
Power beyond an individual such as God, education, experience, etc is now all attributed to self and to the individual, demeaning the forces working upon the individual.
Yet, despite this focus on self, we see increasingly, new staggering numbers of those struggling with depression and low self-esteem. If we are all so focused on building up ourselves, why them are so many so unhappy?
With this neglect in acknowledging God and all he does to supplicate our lives, we quickly listen to the enticing's of the evil one, believing nothing will ever bee good enough as we lose hope for what we really are: Gods and Goddesses!
With the evil one more present in our ear we forget the warnings and promises found in the scriptures. Namely, that when we deny the law of chastity (a villainous rampage these days) then we are sinning against our divine potential and therefore sinning against ourselves. This lack of self esteem comes from the loss of the Holy Ghost and the dimming of the Light of Christ that we have within us when we choose misguided actions that take us farther from the one person who can help us feel and recognize true love for ourselves and others! If only we learned to thank our Father for the gifts that support and enlighten us! To stand together as saints and believers in Christ as one, in the support of a throng of brothers and sisters!
Oh that we remembered the priorities of the psalmists. How if we only but remembered to thank our God and to turn to him in our need, how there would be a complete revolution resulting in lasting happiness!
"I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well" - Psalm 139:14
