Psalm 104

¹Praise the Lord, my soul.

Lord my God, you are very great;
you are clothed with splendor and majesty.

²The Lord wraps himself in light as with a garment;
    he stretches out the heavens like a tent
³    and lays the beams of his upper chambers on their waters.
He makes the clouds his chariot
    and rides on the wings of the wind.
⁴He makes winds his messengers,
    flames of fire his servants.

⁵He set the earth on its foundations;
    it can never be moved.
⁶You covered it with the watery depths as with a garment;
    the waters stood above the mountains.
⁷But at your rebuke the waters fled,
    at the sound of your thunder they took to flight;
⁸they flowed over the mountains,
    they went down into the valleys,
    to the place you assigned for them.
⁹You set a boundary they cannot cross;
    never again will they cover the earth.

¹⁰He makes springs pour water into the ravines;
    it flows between the mountains.
¹¹They give water to all the beasts of the field;
    the wild donkeys quench their thirst.
¹²The birds of the sky nest by the waters;
    they sing among the branches.
¹³He waters the mountains from his upper chambers;
    the land is satisfied by the fruit of his work.
¹⁴He makes grass grow for the cattle,
    and plants for people to cultivate—
    bringing forth food from the earth:
¹⁵wine that gladdens human hearts,
    oil to make their faces shine,
    and bread that sustains their hearts.
¹⁶The trees of the Lord are well watered,
    the cedars of Lebanon that he planted.
¹⁷There the birds make their nests;
    the stork has its home in the junipers.
¹⁸The high mountains belong to the wild goats;
    the crags are a refuge for the hyrax.

¹⁹He made the moon to mark the seasons,
    and the sun knows when to go down.
²⁰You bring darkness, it becomes night,
    and all the beasts of the forest prowl.
²¹The lions roar for their prey
    and seek their food from God.
²²The sun rises, and they steal away;
    they return and lie down in their dens.
²³Then people go out to their work,
    to their labor until evening.

²⁴How many are your works, Lord!
    In wisdom you made them all;
    the earth is full of your creatures.
²⁵There is the sea, vast and spacious,
    teeming with creatures beyond number—
    living things both large and small.
²⁶There the ships go to and fro,
    and Leviathan, which you formed to frolic there.

²⁷All creatures look to you
    to give them their food at the proper time.
²⁸When you give it to them,
    they gather it up;
when you open your hand,
    they are satisfied with good things.
²⁹When you hide your face,
    they are terrified;
when you take away their breath,
    they die and return to the dust.
³⁰When you send your Spirit,
    they are created,
    and you renew the face of the ground.

³¹May the glory of the Lord endure forever;
may the Lord rejoice in his works —
³²he who looks at the earth, and it trembles,
who touches the mountains, and they smoke.

³³I will sing to the Lord all my life;
    I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.
³⁴May my meditation be pleasing to him,
    as I rejoice in the Lord.
³⁵But may sinners vanish from the earth
    and the wicked be no more.

Praise the Lord, my soul.

Praise the Lord.

Meet Al. He saved up a long time to get his song book. He takes care of his physically-handicapped girlfriend of 3 years, Sharon, with whom he lives with on Temple Street. We first met in November along with Ricardo & Little Women. He is usually camera shy, but on this day, he was waiting for me to take out my camera. I had no SD card with my Canon S95, so I shot him with my 2-year old BlackBerry flip phone.

365 days since; every single day marked with His handprint that presses so deeply into my heart. I cannot contain His ways. Fuzzy feeling inside, making me change.

Caine is somewhat of a hero to me.
This video gave me the kind of raw inspiration that I was searching for.

I drive past this junk yard at least 3-4 times a week. This Saturday, I will go meet a hero of mine.

“But I trust in you, O Lord;
I say, ‘You are my God.’
My times are in your hands…”

“Love the Lord, [Stef]!
The Lord preserves the faithful,
but the proud he pays back in full.
Be strong & take heart,
all you who hope in the Lord.”

Psalm 31:14-15, 23-24
