Take time to see your strength comes from the Lord. Give thanks for all the things you do have and that God continues to guide you daily. There is too much to be grateful for in life, than not.
SCRIPTURE: Psalm 27:1-14 (NIV) Of David.
1 The Lord is my light and my salvation--
whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life--
of whom shall I be afraid?
2 When the wicked advance against me
to devour me,
it is my enemies and my foes
who will stumble and fall.
3 Though an army besiege me,
my heart will not fear;
though war break out against me,
even then I will be confident.
4 One thing I ask from the Lord,
this only do I seek:
that I may dwell in the house of the Lord
all the days of my life,
to gaze on the beauty of the Lord
and to seek him in his temple.
5 For in the day of trouble
he will keep me safe in his dwelling;
he will hide me in the shelter of his sacred tent
and set me high upon a rock.
6 Then my head will be exalted
above the enemies who surround me;
at his sacred tent I will sacrifice with shouts of joy;
I will sing and make music to the Lord.
7 Hear my voice when I call, Lord;
be merciful to me and answer me.
8 My heart says of you, “Seek his face!”
Your face, Lord, I will seek.
9 Do not hide your face from me,
do not turn your servant away in anger;
you have been my helper.
Do not reject me or forsake me,
God my Savior.
10 Though my father and mother forsake me,
the Lord will receive me.
11 Teach me your way, Lord;
lead me in a straight path
because of my oppressors.
12 Do not turn me over to the desire of my foes,
for false witnesses rise up against me,
spouting malicious accusations.
13 I remain confident of this:
I will see the goodness of the Lord
in the land of the living.
14 Wait for the Lord;
be strong and take heart
and wait for the Lord.
MY STRENGTH ~
Dwell in the house of the Lord
There are times in life when we must wait. Verse 14 above speaks of waiting for the Lord, be strong and take heart, and wait for the Lord. I have learned many things in waiting. I noticed even at Starbucks, people get frustrated if the line is too long. It is in the wait, that you will get your drink, food and even a smile if you just wait patiently. Now lets bring that to a spiritual note. In our waiting on God, he restores, completes and helps us on this journey of life. Waiting brings new things and refreshes our soul at times. Stay in peace of mind and wait on the Lord for the things you are praying for today.
My prayers continue for you, your family and friends.
