Psalm 142:5-7a....."Canary" ;)

Written Nov. 1999

Psalm 142:5-7a

5 I cried unto thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my refuge and my portion in the land of the living.

"Cried" means "to shriek" (from anguish or danger )…"

"Refuge" means "shelter" or "PLACE OF HOPE".

"Portion" means "inheritance".

The coal miners used to take a canary into the mine to detect dangerous fumes. If the canary died, the miners knew that it was not safe to work there. I am a "CANARY", Lord! My nose can smell things 10 times stronger than other people can smell them, it seems…and my nose and the reactions I get from chemicals is a WARNING to the world that chemicals are toxic and dangerous!

I cry unto Thee today, Lord! And as I cry, the world will know that in anguish I am shrieking "DANGER! DANGER! Chemicals are toxic!" But YOU are my shelter…YOU are my PLACE OF HOPE!…YOU are my inheritance! Yes, I have inherited YOU forever in a land of LIFE where I shall never die or hurt or cry again. Hallelujuah!

6 ATTEND unto my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I.

Attend unto my cry, Lord! A little baby who is hungry, uncomfortable, or hurt will cry and cry UNTIL the mother ATTENDS to it. Well, I'm going to cry and cry, too, Lord, because You want me to. ATTEND to my cries of pain! I am brought VERY LOW! The definition in Strong's for "brought very low" is very interesting! It includes these thoughts – "to be slacken or FEEBLE…to be oppressed….(Hey, that's me!)…bring low, dry up, be emptied…(Yeah, that's how I feel sometimes.)…fail, be impoverished, be MADE THIN.. (Hey, that's me, too!)

Deliver me from my persecutors! There are some, Lord, who are my persecutors. They don't mean to be so, but their selfishness and insistence on wearing and using chemicals and their lack of real understanding of my situation makes them so. And the devil and his angels are constantly persecuting me, and yes, they are all stronger than I. But…YOU are stronger than all! "Snatch me away" and cause me to escape the chemicals! Rescue me from the parasites, bacteria, and yeast! Preserve me, I pray!

7 Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name.

I am in the "prison of sickness", but You can deliver me just like You did Paul that night out of the prison. Bring my soul out of prison, and I shall lift my hands to Thee in praise! Amen!

I lift my hands in praise to God this evening that He DID hear my cry and bring me out of my "candida and parasite prison"! Praise His name! Amen!
