What Can Flesh Do To Me? (Psalms 56:3-4)

Psalms 56:3-4 3. When I am afraid, I put my trust in you. 4. In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I shall not be afraid. What can flesh do to me?

“When I am afraid, I put my trust in you. In God, whose word I praise— in God I trust and am not afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?” —Psalm 56:3‭-‬4 (NIV)

How Do We Face the Trials and Difficulties?

How can a person face trial and the things he fears with confidence? How can a person cope in difficult times or times of great distress? When I am afraid, I will trust in you. In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can mortal man do to me? Psalm 56:3-4 It is in God that we place our trust; it is in God that we place our hope, for He is our rock and our…

I Trust in Thee

Psalm 56: 3, 4, and 13. What time I am afraid, I will trust in Thee. In God I will praise His Word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me. For Thou hast delivered my soul from death: wilt not Thou deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living? Many of David’s psalms were prayers to God during times of battle, or of running…

“The Lord will march out like a champion, like a warrior he will stir up his zeal; with a shout he will raise the battle cry and will triumph over his enemies.” —Isaiah 42:13 (NIV)

“The Lord advances like a warrior; he stirs up his zeal like a soldier. He shouts, he roars aloud, he prevails over his enemies.” —Isaiah 42:13 (CSB)

“The Lord will march forth like a mighty hero; he will come out like a warrior, full of fury. He will shout his battle cry and crush all his enemies.” —Isaiah 42:13 (NLT)

When the Lord defends, He defends with all His mighty power. With God on your side, you have nothing to fear. Against the power and love that God has, what could anyone do against you? As Psalm 56:4 says, “In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?” (CSB)

Friend, trust in your God, He loves you so dearly and He will never leave you to face life alone. He is always with you and He is so mighty to save: “The Lord your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing.” (Zephaniah 3:17, ESV)

You are loved. And if need be, “The Lord will march forth like a mighty hero; he will come out like a warrior, full of fury” and come to defend you. Amen and Hallelujah! 🙏🕊️🙌

And you, child, will be called a prophet of the Most High; for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for Him, to give to His people the knowledge of salvation through the forgiveness of their sins, because of the tender mercy of our God, by which the Dawn will visit us from on high, to shine on those who live in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the path of peace.”’ ‭‭Luke‬ ‭1‬:‭68‬-‭79‬

Every September, my friend Marc Hong, a professor at Louisville Seminary, hosts Psalmtember. He invites you to join in, too!

Think "Inktober," but in September and with a spiritual focus — and with any art form welcome, from drawing to poetry to photography and beyond. There's also no pressure to create something for every day — do as many or as few as you like.

Here's Marc's description of this artistic event:

Each year, I love to spend a month making art inspired by the Psalms. There are 30 days in September, meaning that I can evenly divide up the 150 Psalms into 5 sets of 30. So, if I do this for 5 years, I will have made art with all of the Psalms. Join me! The prompt list is in the image [as well as below the readmore]. But other words may stand out to you! Or you may try to make art that represents the wholeness of the Psalm. I encourage you to read the text of the whole Psalm each day, consider what emotions it stirs up in you, choose a medium that speaks to you, and make some art! Folks have painted, used ink, drawn with colored pencils, taken photographs, written haikus, and much more. Choose what stirs delight in you!

Tag your post with #psalmtember2023 so we can celebrate the Psalms through art together!

Marc and many others post on Facebook, but I'll be paying attention to the tag here on tumblr. If you create anything you'd like me to share on Facebook on your behalf, DM me.

Tuesday, Twenty Sixth Week in Ordinary Time

(Liturgical Colour: White. Year: B(II))

(Readings for the feria (Tuesday))

(There is a choice today between the readings for the ferial day (Tuesday) and those for the memorial. The ferial readings are recommended unless pastoral reasons suggest otherwise)

First Reading Job 3:1-3, 11-17, 20-23 Why is light given to the toilers?

Job opened his mouth and cursed his day. Job spoke out and said:

Perish the day on which I was born, the night when they said, “The child is a boy!”

Why did I not perish at birth, come forth from the womb and expire? Or why was I not buried away like an untimely birth, like babes that have never seen the light? Wherefore did the knees receive me? or why did I suck at the breasts?

For then I should have lain down and been tranquil; had I slept, I should then have been at rest With kings and counselors of the earth who built where now there are ruins Or with princes who had gold and filled their houses with silver.

There the wicked cease from troubling, there the weary are at rest.

Why is light given to the toilers, and life to the bitter in spirit? They wait for death and it comes not; they search for it rather than for hidden treasures, Rejoice in it exultingly, and are glad when they reach the grave: Those whose path is hidden from them, and whom God has hemmed in!

The Word of the Lord

R/ Thanks be to God.

Responsorial Psalm Psalm 88:2-3, 4-5, 6, 7-8

R/ Let my prayer come before you, Lord.

O LORD, my God, by day I cry out; at night I clamor in your presence. Let my prayer come before you; incline your ear to my call for help.

R/ Let my prayer come before you, Lord.

For my soul is surfeited with troubles and my life draws near to the nether world. I am numbered with those who go down into the pit; I am a man without strength.

R/ Let my prayer come before you, Lord.

My couch is among the dead, like the slain who lie in the grave, Whom you remember no longer and who are cut off from your care.

R/ Let my prayer come before you, Lord.

You have plunged me into the bottom of the pit, into the dark abyss. Upon me your wrath lies heavy, and with all your billows you overwhelm me.

R/ Let my prayer come before you, Lord.

Gospel Acclamation Mark 10:45

Alleluia, alleluia. The Son of Man came to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many. Alleluia, alleluia.

Gospel Luke 9:51-56 He resolutely determined to journey to Jerusalem.

When the days for Jesus to be taken up were fulfilled, he resolutely determined to journey to Jerusalem, and he sent messengers ahead of him. On the way they entered a Samaritan village to prepare for his reception there, but they would not welcome him because the destination of his journey was Jerusalem. When the disciples James and John saw this they asked, “Lord, do you want us to call down fire from heaven to consume them?” Jesus turned and rebuked them, and they journeyed to another village.

The Gospel of the Lord

R/ Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

(Readings for the memorial)

(There is a choice today between the readings for the ferial day (Tuesday) and those for the memorial. The ferial readings are recommended unless pastoral reasons suggest otherwise)

First Reading Isaiah 66:10-14c I will spread prosperity over her like a river.

Rejoice with Jerusalem and be glad because of her, all you who love her; Exult, exult with her, all you who were mourning over her! Oh, that you may suck fully of the milk of her comfort, That you may nurse with delight at her abundant breasts! For thus says the LORD: Lo, I will spread prosperity over her like a river, and the wealth of the nations like an overflowing torrent. As nurslings, you shall be carried in her arms, and fondled in her lap; As a mother comforts her son, so will I comfort you; in Jerusalem you shall find your comfort.

When you see this, your heart shall rejoice, and your bodies flourish like the grass; The LORD’s power shall be known to his servants.

The Word of the Lord

R/ Thanks be to God.

Responsorial Psalm Psalm 131:1bcde, 2, 3

R/ In you, Lord, I have found my peace.

O LORD, my heart is not proud, nor are my eyes haughty; I busy not myself with great things, nor with things too sublime for me.

R/ In you, Lord, I have found my peace.

Nay rather, I have stilled and quieted my soul like a weaned child. Like a weaned child on its mother’s lap, so is my soul within me.

R/ In you, Lord, I have found my peace.

O Israel, hope in the LORD, both now and forever.

R/ In you, Lord, I have found my peace.

Gospel Acclamation cf. Matthew 11:25

Alleluia, alleluia. Blessed are you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth; you have revealed to little ones the mysteries of the Kingdom. Alleluia, alleluia.

Gospel Matthew 18:1-4 Unless you become like children, you will not enter the Kingdom of heaven.

The disciples approached Jesus and said, “Who is the greatest in the Kingdom of heaven?” He called a child over, placed it in their midst, and said, “Amen, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will not enter the Kingdom of heaven. Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the Kingdom of heaven.”

The Gospel of the Lord

R/ Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

[golivebyfaith]

Heavenly Father, I come before you in the name of your Son, Jesus Christ. Your Word says in 2 Timothy 1:7 that you have not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind. Lord, I confess the sin of fearing man and condemnation. In Romans 8:1, your Word assures me that there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

I claim the promise in Psalm 56:3, trusting that whenever fear arises, I will put my trust in you. Your perfect love casts out fear (1 John 4:18), and I receive that love, knowing that nothing can separate me from it (Romans 8:38-39).

I repent of seeking the approval of man over your approval, for Proverbs 29:25 says that the fear of man brings a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord shall be safe. Help me to remember Romans 12:2, not conforming to the patterns of this world but renewing my mind in your truth.

I thank you for the forgiveness offered through the blood of Jesus (1 John 1:9), and I choose to walk in the freedom you provide. Let Psalm 34:4 be my testimony: I sought the Lord, and He heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.

In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen

God’s Righteous Judgment

You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on another. For on whatever grounds you judge the other, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things. And we know that God’s judgment against those who do such things is based on truth. So when you, O man, pass judgment on others, yet do the same things, do you think you will escape God’s judgment? Or do you disregard the riches of His kindness, tolerance, and patience, not realizing that God’s kindness leads you to repentance?

But because of your hard and unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of wrath, when God’s righteous judgment will be revealed. God “will repay each one according to his deeds.” To those who by perseverance in doing good seek glory, honor, and immortality, He will give eternal life. But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow wickedness, there will be wrath and anger.

There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil, first for the Jew, then for the Greek; but glory, honor, and peace for everyone who does good, first for the Jew, then for the Greek. For God does not show favoritism.

All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law. For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but it is the doers of the law who will be declared righteous.

Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law. So they show that the work of the law is written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts either accusing or defending them on the day when God will judge men’s secrets through Christ Jesus, as proclaimed by my gospel.

Now you, if you call yourself a Jew; if you rely on the law and boast in God; if you know His will and approve of what is superior because you are instructed by the law; if you are convinced that you are a guide for the blind, a light for those in darkness, an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of infants, because you have in the law the embodiment of knowledge and truth— you, then, who teach others, do you not teach yourself? You who preach against stealing, do you steal? You who forbid adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples? You who boast in the law, do you dishonor God by breaking the law? As it is written: “God’s name is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you.”

Circumcision has value if you observe the law, but if you break the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision. If a man who is not circumcised keeps the requirements of the law, will not his uncircumcision be regarded as circumcision? The one who is physically uncircumcised yet keeps the law will condemn you who, even though you have the written code and circumcision, are a lawbreaker.

A man is not a Jew because he is one outwardly, nor is circumcision only outward and physical. No, a man is a Jew because he is one inwardly, and circumcision is a matter of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code. Such a man’s praise does not come from men, but from God. — Romans 2 | The Reader’s Bible (BRB) The Reader’s Bible © 2020 by Bible Hub and Berean Reader's Bible. All rights Reserved.

On the Misunderstood Christ

The Lonely Man! — was there ever a more tender title for our Lord? There is a ring about it that goes straight to the heart, and somehow it seems so exactly to fit Him whose delights were with the sons of men [Proverbs 8:31], but yet looked for some to have pity, but there was no man, neither found He any to comfort Him [Psalm 69:21]. Was there ever one among all His friends who thoroughly understood Him? Was there one of His companions who did not fail Him in the moment of His need? He was ever in the crowd — alone; in the house among His disciples — alone; among the curious and the hostile, more than ever alone. A Peter reaches the very heart of faith, and the Son of Man cries out that here at last is one upon whom He can build, can rest; and five minutes later he is as Satan to Him [Matthew 16:13-23], and He alone in His endeavor once again. A John seems to pass into close intimacy; he is admitted to the wonder of the Mount of Transfiguration and schooled by the example of a little child; and then in a moment, despite the set face which might have taught him many things, at the village of the Samaritans he knows not what spirit he is of [Luke 9:51-56], and Jesus is isolated again. Or even yet more strongly, what pathos attaches to that last wonderful ride into Jerusalem! For three years the Master has been explaining His mission; for months He has been perfectly plain about the Cross; but that day, as He rode up, waving spears would not have been a more complete illustration of misunderstanding than the waving palms, and even the Pharisees who scowled hardly understood him less than the crowd who cheered. Some would crown Him King, for whom thorns were already grown; some would He should never reign over them, He for whom the Cross was prepared; and not a soul around shared His heart's secret. Lonely, Lonely Man! [...] God is lonely, not when God is God (and the Christian mystery of the Trinity is exactly the mystery of love in the Godhead), but lonely when He takes our flesh and tabernacles amongst men.
