“I bless God every chance I get; my lungs expand with his praise.
I live and breathe God; if things aren’t going well, hear this and be happy:
Join me in spreading the news; together let’s get the word out.
God met me more than halfway, he freed me from my anxious fears.
Look at him; give him your warmest smile. Never hide your feelings from him.
When I was desperate, I called out, and God got me out of a tight spot.
God’s angel sets up a circle of protection around us while we pray.
Open your mouth and taste, open your eyes and see–how good God is. Blessed are you who run to him.
Worship God if you want the best; worship opens doors to all his goodness.”
Psalm 34: 1-9 (The Message)
Love this translation! Thanks for sharing. Happy Monday!
PS…Happy Birthday to your daughter. Twelve on 12/12…fun birthday! ☺
It has been very interesting reading through it this year!
Thanks for the birthday wishes. It’s been a fun day for her so far!
Love. It.
I read the New Testament Message style this year — and loved it.
you’ve inspired me that I can’t stop there! will be adding the OT to my agenda next year. thank you!
I hope you enjoy the OT too! I’m really glad I used this one for my reading this year. It’s not a great one for study, but for just reading, it was really good!
I love this line: I live and breathe God. May I do that everyday!!
Amen! That’s my prayer too.
