psalms.
This is my heart this week. Broken, but hopeful. My nose in the Psalms.
Psalms 13:2,5-6
“How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and every day have sorrow in my heart? How long will my enemy triumph over me?
But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation. I will sing to the Lord, for he has been good to me.”
Psalms 27: 11-14
“Teach me your way O Lord; lead me in a straight path because of my oppressors, Do not turn me over to the desire of foes, for false witnesses rises up against breathing out of violence…
I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.”
Psalms 37: 7-11
“Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; do not fret when men succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes.
Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret – it leads only to evil. For evil men will be cut off, but those who hope in the Lord will inherit the land.
A little while, and the wicked will be no more; though you look for them, they will not be found.
But the meek will inherit the land and enjoy great peace.”
Psalms 40:8, 17
“I desire to do your will, O my God; your law is within my heart…
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.”
Honey,
It makes my heart so glad that you are reaching for God’s word during this time.
This is very encouraging to me in my own walk.
Thank you for the sweet reminder to ‘be strong and take heart.”
It also reminds me that I need to be spending time in the bible. I was reading the passage my pastor was speaking of yesterday and I felt as if I had missed out on so much by not reading the bible. I truly want to get to know God.
Thanks :)
