6/13/12 My breath prayer today comes from Psalm 20:7, where the RSV has it, "Some may boast in chariots, and some in horses, but we boast in the name of the LORD our God." The NRSV translates the word "boast" as "take pride in". The Hebrew word has connotations of remembering. I like boasting. Upon what or whom do we boast? Wealth? Health? Security? Power? Military? Government? Political party? Theological position? Gender? Race? Sexual orientation? Neighborhood?
The psalmist says that all of these things can't hold a candle to boasting in the name of the LORD our God.
Love,
Lynn
