Good afternoon, friends,
Normally, not a time for me to be on the web, but I have time and quiet and I want to dig in…I gotta dig in. I am in some dire straits in my mind. I am struggling and I need to hear from the Lord this afternoon. I am staring out over the water and I just need to hear Him. Financial troubles frustrate my waters, family agitates me and I need to lift my eyes and ask Him. If you find yourself needing Him this afternoon or maybe evening, join me…
1 I will lift up my eyes to the hills [around Jerusalem, to sacred Mount Zion and Mount Moriah]—From whence shall my help come?
2 My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth.
3 He will not allow your foot to slip or to be moved; He Who keeps you will not slumber.
4 Behold, He who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The Lord is your keeper; the Lord is your shade on your right hand [the side not carrying a shield].
6 The sun shall not smite you by day, nor the moon by night.
7 The Lord will keep you from all evil; He will keep your life.
8 The Lord will keep your going out and your coming in from this time forth and forevermore.
Amen!~
I was just singing the song of that Psalm the other day in the car. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwdi3pnQ4aQ
It was a lulu song.
love it.
The kids and I memorized this Psalm…knowing that each of us would have need to call upon this truth during life’s valleys. Thank you for sharing. I will be praying that our faith would not fail, but be strengthened, that we would fully trust these words.
Amen…just had an afternoon of valley moments. And had to turn to the Lord in that. Thank you so much!
I’m on a mini retreat. I was turning into “mean” mommy, my “nasty” alter ego. I will be praying for both of us to get centered and breath in the Holy Spirit. Thank you for sharing. It is good to know I am not alone and be reminded that our God is BIG enough!
You are never alone.
Our God is Big..look down at the song my friend kimberlee posted. o, yes. help!
