I fell November 18 and have been absent. I fractured my left humerus neck, my right knee cap, and sprained my right wrist. I was in rehab 40 days. I’m home now and recovering. I’m just popping in to share something with you. I’m up to my ears with in-home PT and OT visits and exercises. Not ready to type devotionals quite yet 

I was reading Psalm 78 when the Holy Spirit stopped me 

Verse 57 says “…they were turned aside like a deceitful bow.”

Hebrew for deceitful means lax or slackness 

How does this fit? I asked two of my cousins who hunt with a bow

“One way to look at it is…Arrows that are “spined” for a particular bow are more efficient, if the bow has lost its strength or it’s “poundage” the arrow won’t fly like it once did”

“Bows that are made the “old way”, from a single stave of wood, require straight grain, which the bowyer must follow as the bow is shaped.  If one or both limbs start to twist, the bow will be inaccurate, and in severe cases, the string can jump out of the nock grooves at full draw, and potentially injure the shooter.”

The Amplified says “…they were twisted and warped like a deceitful bow, that will not respond to the archer’s aim).” We need to be straight arrows.
