Psalm 33:12-22
12 What joy for the nation whose God is the Lord,                                             whose people he has chosen as his inheritance.                                    
13 The Lord looks down from heaven                                                                       and sees the whole human race.                                                             14 From his throne he observes
    all who live on the earth.
15 He made their hearts,
    so he understands everything they do.
16 The best-equipped army cannot save a king,
    nor is great strength enough to save a warrior.
17 Don’t count on your warhorse to give you victory—
    for all its strength, it cannot save you.

18 But the Lord watches over those who fear him,
    those who rely on his unfailing love.
19 He rescues them from death
    and keeps them alive in times of famine.

20 We put our hope in the Lord.
    He is our help and our shield.
21 In him our hearts rejoice,
    for we trust in his holy name.
22 Let your unfailing love surround us, Lord,
    for our hope is in you alone.

Dr. (Rev.) David Luce, posted by his daughter, Debbie (Smithdale, MS area)

Got a call from my mom. She and dad are on their way back home from NY. Dad was fine after his surgery in May, but now his surgical sight is infected. Dr. Homayuni in McComb wants to see dad Monday. I’m asking yall to pray for them as they travel home as well as for Dad’s health. It may be just a simple infection, and doc in NY put Dad on antibiotics. If it is more serious, then at least he will be here with his heart doc.
