Commit your path to the Eternal One; let Him direct you. Put your confidence in Him, and He will follow through with you. (Verse 5 The Voice)
Through my whole life (young and old), I have never witnessed God forsaking those who do right, nor have I seen their children begging for crumbs, Because they are always giving and sharing; truly, their children are joyful blessing. (verse 25, 26)
I love the book of Psalms, there are so much encouragement in them. Once in our Adult Bible Fellowship (aka Sunday School) Pastor asked if you were on a deserted island and could have only one book of the Bible which book would you choose. Without hesitation I said Psalms, you have the entire story of the Bible rolled into one book. I love it.

That is my favorite verse in this chapter.
By the way, I just read yesterday's Psalm and it was perfect for me today. The Pastor is away and I am leading the worship. I'm playing the guitar in public for the first time in many years. This was very encouraging:
"3) Sing to the Eternal a new song; play each the best way you can, and don't be afraid to be bold with your joyful feelings."
I felt lead by Christ to check in here because I was feeling anxious and the perfect reading was there for me. :-)
Psalm 37
ReplyDeletea poem in Hebrew alphabetical order
23 The steps of a man are established by the LORD,
And He delights in his way.
24 When he falls, he will not be hurled headlong,
Because the LORD is the One who holds his hand.
29 The righteous will inherit the land
And dwell in it forever.
31 The law of his God is in his heart;
His steps do not slip.
39 But the salvation of the righteous is from the LORD;
He is their strength in time of trouble.
40 The LORD helps them and delivers them;
He delivers them from the wicked and saves them,
Because they take refuge in Him.
Psalm 119
111 I have inherited Your testimonies forever,
For they are the joy of my heart.
112 I have inclined my heart to perform Your statutes
Forever, even to the end.
