This morning’s reading took me to Psalm 34.  As is common, I had to read each verse a couple times to get it to register.  My mind was also on boiling eggs, whether or not the grass was dry enough to push the mower around for exercise, doing dishes while I was browning a roast for dinner, what I’d wear for tomorrow’s work appointment with our lawyer …… it never ends.  

The verses that stuck were 19-20.  The righteous person may have many troubles, but the Lord delivers him from them all; he protects all his bones, not one of them will be broken.  Now again, I really did complete all 4 years of  the Disciple study, as I’ve spent several hours reading this and that in my Bible.  I know I had to have heard who this prophesy was about at least once.  More than likely I was realizing there were extra leads in the center of my mechanical pencil, or the scripture stenciled on the wall was just slightly tilted so the bottom line would make the bubble in a level set just to the left of the center circle.  (Now I’m thinking I need to take a level in there to see if I’m right!). Anyways …… as I read this scripture this morning I received my AH-HAH moment.  Jesus.  The prophesy was on Jesus.  He had troubles.  He was delivered from them all.  Per my study note, it was Roman custom during crucification to break the legs of the victim to speed death, not one of Jesus’ bones were broken.  

So now I’m off to read Acts 24.  Paul is having a lot of trouble spreading the word about Jesus.  Saul.  AKA Paul.  I didn’t like him at first, or at second for that matter.  But this man is sure teaching me a lot now.  

Always Pondering …….
