And, on a day where the Democrats are promising health care, the deficit is increasing, and the news cycle spikes fear.

Psalm 146

1Praise the LORD!Praise the LORD, O my soul!2I will praise the LORD as long as I live;I will sing praises to my God all my life long.

3Do not put your trust in princes,in mortals, in whom there is no help.4When their breath departs, they return to the earth;on that very day their plans perish.

Sometimes you should translate prince as “senator”, “member of the house” or “mayor”. The leaders of today will fade sooner than they plan to.
