HIS Marvelous Deeds

As for me, I will always have hope;
    I will praise you more and more.

My mouth will tell of your righteous deeds,
    of Your saving acts all day long—
    though I know not how to relate them all.

I will come and proclaim your mighty acts, Sovereign Lord; I will proclaim Your righteous deeds, Yours alone.
 Since my youth, God, You have taught me,
    and to this day I declare Your marvelous deeds. Even when I am old and gray,
    do not forsake me, my God, till I declare Your power to the next generation, Your mighty acts to all who are to come.

~ Psalm 71:14-18

Grace to the Humble

In the same way, you who are younger must accept the authority of the elders. And all of you, dress yourselves in humility as you relate to one another, for

“God opposes the proud
    but gives grace to the humble.”

~ 1 Peter 5:5 (NLT)

Children Are a Heritage

3 Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward.

4 As arrows are in the hand of a warrior, so are the children of one’s youth.

5 Happy, blessed,and fortunate is the man whose quiver is filled with them! They will not be put to shame when they speak with their adversaries [in gatherings] at the [city’s] gate.

~ Psalm 127:3-5

Praise the LORD

1 Let all that I am praise the Lord;
    with my whole heart, I will praise his holy name.
2 Let all that I am praise the Lord;
    may I never forget the good things he does for me.
3 He forgives all my sins
    and heals all my diseases.
4 He redeems me from death
    and crowns me with love and tender mercies.
5 He fills my life with good things.
    My youth is renewed like the eagle’s!

~ Psalm 103:1-5 (NLT)

Unless the Lord Builds the House

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 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.

~ Psalm 127:1-5 (NIV)

Praise the Lord

 Praise the Lord, my soul;
    all my inmost being, praise his holy name.
2 Praise the Lord, my soul,
    and forget not all his benefits—
3 who forgives all your sins
    and heals all your diseases,
4 who redeems your life from the pit
    and crowns you with love and compassion,
5 who satisfies your desires with good things
    so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

~ Psalm 103:1-5 (NIV)

Be Teachable

4 Show me your ways, O Lord,
teach me your paths;
5 guide me in your truth and teach me,
for you are God my Savior,
and my hope is in you all day long.
6 Remember, O Lord, your great mercy and love,
for they are from of old.
7 Remember not the sins of my youth
and my rebellious ways;
according to your love remember me,
for you are good, O Lord.

~ Psalm 25:4-7 (NIV 1984)

Are You Exhausted? Good News!

30 Even youths shall faint and be weary,
and young men shall fall exhausted;
31 but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings like eagles;
they shall run and not be weary;
they shall walk and not faint.
