My reading took me to Ps 27 NET today. I thought this morning I’d simply read some of it to you. I won’t go on long. Read these verses aloud if you would. Reading silently is a lovely thing but I often find particular strength & rekindled fires of faith & love in the spoken word:
The Lord is my light & my salvation...The Lord protects my life...I’ve asked the Lord for 1 thing—this is what I desire!...to live in the Lord’s house all the days of my life so I can gaze at the splendor of the Lord...He will surely give me shelter...He will hide me in His home.
(Isn’t that beautiful? I love the thought of Him hiding us in His home. God is your hideout in this havoc. From a NT perspective, think of this as abiding in Christ, Jn15, & being hidden in Christ with God, Col 3:3)
“My heart tells me to pray to you & I do pray to you, O Lord.”
“My heart tells me to pray to you & I do pray to you, O Lord.”
“Even if my father and mother abandoned me, the Lord would take me in.” (Let that sink down deep, Loved of God.) “Teach me how you want me to live, Lord; lead me along a level path because of those who wait to ambush me.”
Then the final 2 verses, breathtaking & so timely for us:
Then the final 2 verses, breathtaking & so timely for us:
(If I were reading this aloud, I’d probably say the first 4 words about 3 times then proceed.)
“Where would I be if I did not believe I would experience the Lord‘s favor in the land of the living? Rely on the Lord! Be strong and confident! Rely on the Lord!”
Bless y’all today.
