A passing Breeze

Psalm 78

18 "They willfully put God to the test

by demanding the food they craved.

29 They ate till they had more than enough,

for he had given them what they craved.

32 In spite of all this, they kept on sinning;

in spite of his wonders, they did not believe.
33 So he ended their days in futility

and their years in terror.

38 Yet he was merciful;

he forgave their iniquities

and did not destroy them.

Time after time he restrained his anger

and did not stir up his full wrath.
39 He remembered that they were but flesh,

a passing breeze that does not return. "

I love the imagery in the last line. Verse 38 is what I am thankful for though. All my craving for snack food, better home decorating, clothes, well behaved children...man, I just better BELIEVE...end of story. He has provided and I need not want. The past couple of days I have been remembering the Twila Paris song You Have Been Good

Oh Lord, You have been good

You have been faithful to all generations

Oh Lord, Your steadfast love And tender mercy have been our salvation

For by Your hand we have been fed

And by Your Spirit we have been led.
