I Need You Lord
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rR_Rdb1CTE&w=420&h=315]
Yet I am poor and needy; may the Lord think of me.
You are my help and my deliverer; O my God, do not delay.

Run to the Lord
Keep me safe, O God, I’ve run for dear life to you. I say to God, “Be my Lord!” Without you, nothing makes sense.
Secret Place
1 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty [Whose power no foe can withstand].
2 I will say of the Lord, He is my Refuge and my Fortress, my God; on Him I lean and rely, and in Him I [confidently] trust!
I Run to the Lord
Read Proverbs 12 today!
To tell you the truth… I’m not really into the running part of this verse. I like the “you are safe” part. I don’t really enjoy running. I enjoy a good brisk walk, but not a run. But this verse tells me to run… to Run… TO RUN! I have the ability to run to God. He gives me the strength to move forward. He wants me to realize that I can’t do anything on my own. I do not have what it takes to survive without God. He wants me to come running to the grace that saved me… to the love that set me free. He wants me to run to the promises found in His Word. He wants me to come with all my garbage and lay it down at His feet (the only place where my garbage is safe).
God does not ridicule me for not have everything perfect in life. He never gets fed up with me! He never stops loving me! He never stops being a strong tower that I can run to! He is God and He sent His Son Jesus Christ to die for me, so that I can experience true life. I have a relationship with my Father because Jesus laid down His life for my sins. I no longer have to shed my blood or the sacrifice of an animal to please God. Jesus took my place! He laid down His life. He made it possible for me to have the freedom to run to God.
Safe in God’s Hands
The sheep that are My own hear and are listening to My voice; and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give them eternal life, and they shall never lose it or perish throughout the ages. [To all eternity they shall never by any means be destroyed.] And no one is able to snatch them out of My hand. My Father, Who has given them to Me, is greater and mightier than all [else]; and no one is able to snatch [them] out of the Father’s hand. (John 10:27-29, AMP)
Lord, I rejoice that nothing and no one can snatch me from Your hand. What a beautiful promise You have given me to cling to. I love the fact that nothing can take me away from You. I love that You will forever be the Lord of my life. Lord, please strengthen my walk daily and help me to live more righteously before You. May my fumbles be fewer and farther between as I daily surrender myself to You and Your work.
