“If i forget you Jerusalem, may my right hand forget its skill. May my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth if I do not remember you, if I do not exalt Jerusalem as my greatest joy!“

If only His people would have had this desire snf resolve about the Lord, they would have not found themselves in Babylon.

This verse struck me as really funny today:

Job 8:2 “How long will you go on saying such things? The words of your mouth are a blustering wind.

However, I am not sure if I can find a kind way to work it into a conversation.

I like Psalm 36. It starts with this great verse:

Psalm 36:1 Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good. His loving devotion endures forever.

And then continues by reminding us of His Story. It is amazing to be a part of His Story. He is the noun, and we are the adjectives!

That term “O human” used in the guide description. I could feel the superiority of our Loving Father from Micahs perspective.
