I remember reading this a couple times before but it seems that it has really spoke to me this morning. And I hope that it does to you as well. It always seems to facinate me when the Lord speaks to us through his word, and I will never get enough of it because he is so good to me.
But now as I write these blessed words down, I am blessed to know that I am secure in the arms of my Lord and that no trials or fears should get in my way. With my savior who loves me.
1.The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
It is so good to know that the Lord is my light in this dark world and that I am glad to know that I am saved today because of him never giving up on me. And though I may be caught in this world through troubles and trials, I don't need to be afraid, because when I am weak he is strong and he is my strength in my life.
2. When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.
3. Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.
'My heart shall not fear' - I love those words because through him in times of trouble I will be confident, because I know he takes care of me everyday of my life.
4. One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in his temple.
Now when I read this verse, it touched my heart, Seeing David's desire to please the Lord is what I hope and desire as well in my life. That's why I love reading about David because I can relate to him so much through my life and seeing his dependance on the Lord wants to me to know my Lord more. Knowing the things I desire for him, I must seek through his word, and fellowshiping with him through my prayers to him. I pray that I will never be discouraged enough that I don't want to go to church or want to grow in his word anymore.
5. For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.
Praise the Lord! That in times of trouble in our lives he comforts us and will set me upon a rock so I can stand strong in him :)
6 And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.
It is good to sing praises to him :) Godly music has changed my life in so many ways.
7 Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
Though sometimes I feel that the Lord can't hear me, because sometimes it is hard to understand with billions of people in this world, he can hear me. But our God is a BIG God and is wonderful to know that he answers our prayers, and calms our spirts when we are discouraged. I know that when my grandpa died and I went alone on a walk, I feel like I am closer to my Lord and can feel him around me.
8 When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek.
And Lord, your face do I seek as well.
9 Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.
And it is good to know through his words that he will NEVER leave us or forsake us. Thank you Lord.
10 When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.
11 Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies.
12 Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.
13 I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.
14 Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.
And I pray through my walk with him that I will wait on the Lord, and that he will strengthen my heart, my faith, my joy in him and that I will never be ashamed to proclaim his goodness with everyone around me.
I hope this can be a blessing to someone as well as it has done for me.
