DEVOTION: Psalm 146 English Standard Version (ESV)
Put Not Your Trust in Princes
146 Praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord, O my soul!
2 I will praise the Lord as long as I live;
I will sing praises to my God while I have my being.
3 Put not your trust in princes,
in a son of man, in whom there is no salvation.
4 When his breath departs, he returns to the earth;
on that very day his plans perish.
5 Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob,
whose hope is in the Lord his God,
6 who made heaven and earth,
the sea, and all that is in them,
who keeps faith forever;
7 who executes justice for the oppressed,
who gives food to the hungry.
The Lord sets the prisoners free;
8 the Lord opens the eyes of the blind.
The Lord lifts up those who are bowed down;
the Lord loves the righteous.
9 The Lord watches over the sojourners;
he upholds the widow and the fatherless,
but the way of the wicked he brings to ruin.
10 The Lord will reign forever,
your God, O Zion, to all generations.
Praise the Lord!

WHO'S INTERESTED IN THIS BIBLE STUDY???!!!
A new small group or individual Bible study is out called "Family: It's Complicated", that would pertain to many situations and families in our church! It talks about something called ACEs "Adverse Childhood Experiences" which cause people to have trouble as adults. It seems like it would be great for a small group Bible study during the week, or for any individual to do at home. Some have already expressed interest. Is there any more interest in a small group study or even individual study?
