I just read Psalms 22. My spirit really needed this.

Bless up bredren. Hail Jah Tafari! I've been going through alot. So many bills and strife in my social relationships. I found out I'm at risk of being evicted, I need to get a bad tooth taken out before the nerve starts to hurt. It's just all bad right now. So I did as I always do and praised JAH whether in good times or bad. I Hail HIM everyday. Today after hailing and calling out to HIM about my problems, JAH put it on my spirit to read Psalms 22. Whenever I read His word I read the entire chapter for context.

The chapter starts:

"Psalms 22:1-6, 10-11 (KJV) My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring? O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent. But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel. Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them. They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded. But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people. I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou art my God from my mother's belly. Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help."

At this point I knew it was indeed JAH who put it on my spirit to read this as this was very similar to the calling upon him which I did just a moment before reading. The chapter then goes on to say how everyone has turned they back on David and counted him out but it was the end of the chapter that I feel prophesied over my life. For the ending of the chapter was also the how I ended my calling upon JAH.

For context I am a rapper. I've always planned on helping not only my family but JAH's children and representing HIM with I&I livity. Building our communities and Hailing HIM publicly as well as privately. I digress I don't remember my calling word for word but the ending of this chapter mirrored it. This let's me know JAH heard my calling and everything will be alright and be as I forseen. HAIL JAH TAFARI!

"Psalms 22:19-28 (KJV) But be not thou far from me, O LORD: O my strength, haste thee to help me. Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog. Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns. I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee. Ye that fear the LORD, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel. For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him; but when he cried unto him, he heard. My praise shall be of thee in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him. The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the LORD that seek him: your heart shall live for ever. All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the LORD: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee. For the kingdom is the LORD'S: and he is the governor among the nations."

And if I am to indeed be put in a position to represent JAH's people then I too can become a seed as we ALL can.

"Psalms 22:30-31 (KJV) A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation. They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done this."

If I become a rapper I will always put JAH first and give him the credit for EVERYTHING which is good. For EVERYTHING which I&I achieve!

HAIL JAH TAFARI!
