Psalms 147:18
King James Version
10 Jun 2026
“He sendeth out his word, and melteth them: he causeth his wind to blow, and the waters flow.”
דָּבָר
In Hebrew, dabar is not just a word spoken — it is a word that accomplishes something. God's dabar does not return empty. The psalmist says this word is a lamp to his feet — not a floodlight revealing everything ahead, but enough light for the next step. That is faith.
