Training

Psalm144

Sometimes when we read the lectionary early in the morning one or two words jump out at me. On other days there seems to be nothing special, even on third and fourth readings. Today the concept of God training my hands seemed to be important as soon as we started the psalm.
Maybe God does not train my hands for war but I do believe that he does train them, that he has a path for me and that each step is a preparation for the next.
