Psalm 127 Week 2 Journal

Adoration is the process of praising God for what he is. This is seen throughout the Psalms in a category known as the Descriptive Praise Psalms, such as Psalm 117. Descriptive Praise Psalms can be broken up into three distinct parts: a call to praise, the cause for praise, and a conclusion. These parts can clearly be discerned within Psalm 117. The call to praise, “Praise the Lord, all nations! Extol him, all peoples!,” the cause for praise, “For great is his steadfast love toward us, and the faithfulness of the Lord endures forever,” and the conclusion, “Praise the Lord” (Psalm 117 ESV). In the same way, the adoration section of our prayers should be structure in a similar manner. The next letter, C, stands for confession. The Penitential Psalms, such as Psalms 51, are the guides to this area of our prayer life. In the Penitential Psalms, the psalmist takes time to examine their thoughts, words, and deeds and the motives and desires that drive them. The psalmist then calls on the Lord for mercy, confessing the specific ways in which they have sinned. Thanksgiving is the T in ACTS. The outline for prayers of thanksgiving can be found in the Declarative Praise Psalm. These psalms, like the Descriptive Praise Psalms, can be divided into three categories: the call for praise, a report of deliverance, and the act of praise. This can be seen in Psalm 30. In verses 1-3, the psalmist provides the report of deliverance proclaiming, “O Lord my

If I ever get the chance to be a mom I’m going to try to do everything right starting with my baby in the womb. I won’t ever drink or smoke or do anything that may harm my baby. I want my baby healthy so since I’m anemic I’ll try to eat foods with iron so I’ll be healthy as well. After the baby is born I know I will lose sleep. So i will try to sleep when the baby sleeps. I’ll ask my mom to help me when stressed, I don’t want to do something stupid so I’ll try to make my husband help me at nights with the baby. I hope I’m a great mom, I want to have 4 kids, 2 girls and 2 boys. I want to name my boys Lionel Adrian, Emanuel Jovanii, and my girls Nova Mireya, Nayeli Guadalupe. I plan on being a great mom by trusting my

either giving what is asked for or reminding the devotee that God’s provision is built on His wisdom

that God loves when we show effort to do what he says. We may not be able to obey Him

I have chosen the spiritual discipline of generosity as it has been a big part of my life before and after my conversion to Christianity. Generosity is a common discipline for both Christian and non Christian people as a cornerstone of success in whatever way you view success. The 5 qualities that generous people share are they are Altruistic (give without expecting a return), they are Optimistic (view the world in a positive light), Trusting (trust what they are giving to is worthy), Energetic (they are energized by their giving), Leaders (they are not afraid to lead the battle for a cause).

When I read these first two verses of Psalm 127, I get a sense of peace and comfort; in contrast, I also feel a little uneasy. What I mean to say is that by being diligent in our faith we are to be content in trusting the Lord for everything. We see a reflection of this same thought in Matthew 6:25-34, where we are told not to be anxious, or to worry. Yet, in the second verse we are told that it is in our own vanity, our own desires that we get up early and stay up late, trying chaotically to provide for ourselves and our wants, and that by doing life this way we will never find true peace.

I am determined to allow my passion for Christ drive everything that I do. This includes being a good friend and investing myself into people more, asking the hard questions both in class and in life, and improving on my self judgement (being my own worst enemy). Included in this is, having more internal self-confidence. I will also take advantage of my strengths by accepting that imperfections are normal, and weakness will allow me to grow and trust more with all of this combined, I am determined to be an inspiration and example to this world.

The purpose of this paper has been to provide an exposition of Psalm 23 in order to provide sufficient evidence for arriving at an understanding that proves the LORD is the only need in a person’s life due to his role as shepherd. In verse 1, David introduces the reader to the LORD of his life. In verse 2, David mentioned the relaxation the shepherd permits the sheep to enjoy. In verse 3, David proceeds from verse 2 to benefit from a place to rest while getting direction from the Lord. In verse 4, David articulated his approach to protection by the shepherd. Verse 5 speaks of David receiving food and sustenance from the LORD.

“Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward” (Psalms 127:3). In this passage from Psalm 127, it is being stated that children are a gift from God. When someone is kind enough to offer another a gift it should be cherished, however that is not how everyone treated the gift of a child. In 1994 Theo ran over his young daughter which resulted in her death. Although he says it was an accident, his description of the event leads the reader to believe that he was careless when it came to his child. “I was supposed to be keeping an eye on Natalie or thought she was with her mother.” (James, 28) Although Theo admits that he is unable to remember if he was supposed to be watching his daughter or if he believed her

Background: The Christian Church has generally liked and relied on the Psalms as a source of Christian worship and devotion. Psalms have found their place in the prayer books and liturgies of worship in the Church. By flipping through the leaves of this book, Christians have found joy, comfort, confidence, inspiration, hope and wisdom. In this regard, Christians have fully drawn from the psalms of remembrance, hymns, trust, laments, trust, and psalms of thanksgiving and wisdom .Therefore, by continuing reading the psalms, Christians have had their piety and worship enriched as well as their dependence on God.

My kids are my life I have 4 beautiful girl that are my whole word they expire me to keep going for what my passion is and that is owning my own business and I am planning on do that just for not for me but also for my girls.

Overall, my goal is to become stronger in my faith life. I am a person of kindness, loves to help others, a leader, and is someone you can talk to about anything. My intentions have always been good, but I struggle on praising God for all he has done for me. I hope to go farther in my faith journey and to use the things I struggle with to help me become stronger in my faith. God knows us very well and will be someone to help us along our faith

This was in the 1980s. Then we happily wedded in 1993. My husband came with three children, a son ,and two daughters. I took them into my house. Together we had two daughters, Shanice and Lexus. We had many ups and downs, but we finally got it together. We were blessed to have these children and to come together as a blended family. Psalm 127 was a song written by David for his son, Solomon. This Chapter in the bible is a family-psalm. In verses 3-5, David pens the blessings children are. He says, “Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from him. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are children born in one’s youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them.” Today my son is a physical therapist and my stepdaughter is working on becoming a Registered
