Psalm 146
Praise God who loves the marginalized; one of which is me!
The psalm appointed for this coming Sunday is very straight forward.
Praise God who:
-executes justice for the oppressed
-gives food to the hungry
-sets prisoners free
-opens the eyes of the blind
-lifts those who are bowed down
-loves the righteous
-watches over strangers
-upholds the widow and the orphan
I have been blessed in such a way that I haven’t found myself in many of the above categories, at least not physically. But from a spiritual aspect, I find myself often in a number of them. God deals with us on both levels.
In Matthew 22, Jesus said that the law of God boils down to two things; love God + love others. When God loves others, this psalm shows us what that looks like. What does it look like when I (you) love the other, the marginalized, the hard to love?
