My Fingers Do Battle

"Blessed be the LORD my rock! *
who trains my hands to fight and my fingers to battle! (Ps. 144:1)"

Yes! Sitting at the control panel here, fingers flying over the "instrument," I think I should pray this every day when I sit down to WRITE. Who knew it would always feel like climbing up the high dive and launching forth. Who knew you wouldn't even have a lump of rock to start with. Who could explain it's wrestling with the angel and you can't give up till the blessing is bestowed.

After the above I got distracted looking up other psalm passages to go with it. "The Lord will accomplish his purpose for me" (in Hebrew, "will finish towards me" (Ps 138:9; and "Commit your way to the Lord, and he will do this" (Ps 37:5).

So we'll see won't me (yes me will).
