every sabbath we have turned to the song book of the church...the psalms today is 49

In the darkness of LENT, this psalm of wisdom asks a dark riddle
v5: WHY should I fear in the days of evil?

The psalmist says that the redemption of a soul is costly. Those who die have no overnight lodging!
They leave everything behind for others.

Then the psalmist inserts in v 15:
BUT GOD...will redeem my soul! (wow! wow! and Wow!)
from the power of the grave, for HE shall receive me.

it's dark out there
but Easter morning is coming!
Our Resurrection is coming!

Using one of my best friend's hiking terms....
Our "JOY" eternal is just around the corner.
Hang in there Sig.

the song for this sabbath is:
I stand amazed at the presence of JESUS the Nazarene
and wonder how HE could love me, a sinner condemned and unclean.
