Psalm of the Day

There are a few verses here that a very close to Sistertech’s heart.

Psalm 3      A Psalm of David, when he fled from his son Absalom.

¹O Lord, how many are my foes!
Many are rising against me;
²many are saying to me,
‘There is no help for you in God.’
Selah

Don’t take it as a taunt. For Sistertech it’s: “There is no help for me except in The One In Charge”. It’s something from The Documentation that Sistertech recites most. Hand’s down. Ever started a repair and hit that little “speed bump”? That USB port that’s not working? That pesky corrupted file that insists on saying “Hello World!” when you least have time for the joke?

It’s good for people in our industry to admit not defeat, but to admit that one’s success rests solely in the hands of The One In Charge. Sistertech is glad Ps. 3:2 is with us. If it hadn’t been written she would have had to write it herself.

³But you, O Lord, are a shield around me,
my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.
⁴I cry aloud to the Lord,
and he answers me from his holy hill.
Selah
⁵I lie down and sleep;
I wake again, for the Lord sustains me.
⁶I am not afraid of tens of thousands of people
who have set themselves against me all around.

How many of us have experienced this? We lie down. We fall asleep. We wake up. Lather. Rinse. Repeat. Sistertech still struggles to embrace this routine. It’s a brilliant one, though. Stick to the basics: go to sleep (at some point), get up every morning (“morning” is relative), and don’t worry about the competition. (See below)

⁷Rise up, O Lord!
Deliver me, O my God!
For you strike all my enemies on the cheek;
you break the teeth of the wicked.

⁸Deliverance belongs to the Lord;
may your blessing be on your people!
Selah
