THE LIVING WORDS OF CHRIST, THE PSALMS OF MY LIFE

GOD'S LIVING WORD FOR TODAY

Ephesians 6:10-17 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his
mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand
against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood,
but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark
world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full
armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and
after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of
truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place,
and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.
In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can
extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of
the Spirit, which is the word of God.

PSALMS OF JOY CHAPTER 85

You are my blessed Redeemer
who manifests your sons in glory
who gives them power
to become your sons

Lord baptize us with Your fire
make us gleaners in Your field
so we can go rejoicing in confidence
yes,  dancing and singing
in the fields ripe unto harvest

Look! how they bow their heads
with willing hearts
Your glory, Lord, is revealed to them
Therefore shall the harvest come in
Our only labor,  a labor of love
Your love, Lord

"Who are these"? the religious ask
"Those who are dancing in the fields?
Shouldn't they be laboring to bring
it in?"

Who are they?
Those who are singing sweet songs
of rest.
They toil not in their labor. 

"Look!   See!"
Myriads of angels are coming
Spirits of fire!  to redeem the harvest
A great harvest!

What's this?
There's a burning, but the fields are
not consumed!

Who are these who go dancing in the
flames with One who looks like the Son
of the Living God?

SHI  SHI  A  LUM  A  TI
TO  IS  A  MA  A  CA  LA  DI
SHU  EE  A  CAS  A  DO
CAL  LA  CHRIS  TO  SHA  NA  OOH
"Glory to God in the highest!"
