1 The Lord is my Light and my Salvation—whom shall I fear or dread? The Lord is the Refuge and Stronghold of my life—of whom shall I be afraid?
2 When the wicked, even my enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.
The Lord your God is in your midst, a Warrior who saves. He will rejoice over you with joy; He will be quiet in His love [making no mention of your past sins], He will rejoice over you with shouts of joy. (Zephaniah 3:17, AMP)
Who am I?
I am weak, but He is strong.
I fail at times, but He never fails me.
I stumble all the time, but He is there to lift me up.
I want to give up sometimes, but He never gives up on me.
Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from him.
He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will not be shaken. My salvation and my honor depend on God; he is my mighty rock, my refuge. Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge.” (Psalm 62:5-8)
Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain. (1 Corinthians 15:58)
STAND FIRM: Take a stand for what you believe in today! Let God be the rock that you stand on and on that rock stand firm. That’s right the Bible says, “stand firm.” Do not back down from the Truth that is revealed in God’s Word! Stand firmly for the things of God and let people around you know the Truth in LOVE!
May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart, be pleasing in your sight, O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer. (Psalm 19:14)
This passage of Scripture is really challenging me a lot right now. It is so easy to get wrapped up in the things of life that really don’t matter. There are moments that continue to slip away almost daily because of the time I spend meditating on the wrong things. My heart needs to continuously find it’s way back to God’s direction. There is a constant renewal that takes place when I surrender myself to God’s plan! In fact, King David was very wise about this matter. He continued to bring his heart back to God for renewal. Let’s see how we can do the same through this passage in the Psalms.
