Words Have Different Meanings Today!

I receive messages daily from my friend and my former Pastor. It is called Daily Prescription and it is written my Michael Peck. 

Today's message had to do with words. How words have different meanings now. He used Psalm 103:13 as an example.  Lets look at the verse: "Like as a father piteth his children, so the LORD piteth them that fear Him."

What is the first thought that comes to your mind when you here pity? Today it means "a strong feeling of sadness or sympathy." However in the text it actually means "to love deeply, have mercy upon, to be compassionate and tender for another."

What a different meaning. I like the second meaning better. To think that "Like as a father loves deeply, has mercy upon his child(ren), compassion, and is tender for not only his child but others, that is how the Lord feels about those who have Him as their personal Savior. We are His children. 

If you would like to read Michael Peck's daily prescription you can go to his site. I believe you will be blessed by his writing. Here is the address: dailyprescriptions@michaelpeck.org and if it comes up as an email he wouldn't mind adding you to his mailing list. Just tell him that Bonnie House sent you his address.
