I love how the Lord is so sovereign! We like to do the McCheyns’s Bible reading schedule and I just love it how the Psalm for today was so appropriate considering events of yesterday. Here is what David wrote:
“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?
When evil men advance against me to devour my flesh,
when my enemies and my foes attack me,
they will stumble and fall.
Though an army besiege me, MY HEART WILL NOT FEAR;
though war break out against me, EVEN THEN WILL I BE CONFIDENT.
One thing I ask of the Lord, this is what I seek:
That I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life
to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple.
For in the day of trouble he will keep me safe in his tabernacle
and set me high upon a rock…
… 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.”
What a precious promise to those who are the Lord’s: that we have NOTHING TO FEAR!
How I pray that He would draw near to those who are grieving and give comfort and peace.
