Today I am back from the Berkshires but away at a prayer gathering on the Worcester County State House steps. Take heart dear readers my schedule will soon be back to as normal as it ever gets.

Morning Directions From Scripture 8-26-16
I am currently in the Berkshires leading worship for Special Touch Ministries. So I am going to move to posting only twice daily ( though I may pop in a few times with candid posts if I have connectivity at the Getaway). Please understand if I don’t get right back to comments. I will be working solely from my smartphone (Which truthfully is a bit smarter than I am).
I will declare your name to my people;
    in the assembly I will praise you.
23Â You who fear the Lord, praise him!
    All you descendants of Jacob, honor him!
    Revere him, all you descendants of Israel!
24Â For he has not despised or scorned
    the suffering of the afflicted one;
he has not hidden his face from him
    but has listened to his cry for help.
25Â From you comes the theme of my praise in the great assembly;
    before those who fear you[f] I will fulfill my vows.
26Â The poor will eat and be satisfied;
    those who seek the Lord will praise him—
    may your hearts live forever!
27Â All the ends of the earth
    will remember and turn to the Lord,
and all the families of the nations
    will bow down before him,
28Â for dominion belongs to the Lord
    and he rules over the nations.
29Â All the rich of the earth will feast and worship;
    all who go down to the dust will kneel before him—
    those who cannot keep themselves alive.
30Â Posterity will serve him;
    future generations will be told about the Lord.
31Â They will proclaim his righteousness,
    declaring to a people yet unborn:
    He has done it! Psalm 22: 22-31
Looking at verse 31 What is the “it” God has done?

Looking at verses 25 and 26 specifically how should our worship of God effect our practical living in a world full of need?

But you, Lord, do not be far from me.
    You are my strength; come quickly to help me.
20Â Deliver me from the sword,
    my precious life from the power of the dogs.
21Â Rescue me from the mouth of the lions;
