This is another great Psalm to read when your struggling. But I love verse 22 for anytime:
22 Give your burdens to the Lord,
and he will take care of you.
He will not permit the godly to slip and fall.
and he will take care of you.
He will not permit the godly to slip and fall.
From The Voice:
Cast your troubles upon the Eternal; His care is unceasing! He will not allow His righteous to be shaken.
Reminds me a little bit what Jesus said:
Come to Me, all who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest. (Matthew 11:28, The Voice)
Psalm 55
ReplyDelete6 And I say, "Oh, that I had wings like a dove!
I would fly away and be at rest;
I have a daily devotional by Jill Briscoe I love so much entitled, "Wings." In the front I have dated and written out 2-1/2 pages of wings Scriptures and this is one of them. The one I love the most that I have written on the title page is Psalm 68:13, "Though you lie down among the sheepfolds, yet you will be like the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with yellow gold." I have given a copy of the devotional to two special women because I have loved it so much.
12 For it is not an enemy who taunts me—
then I could bear it;
it is not an adversary who deals insolently with me—
then I could hide from him.
13 But it is you, a man, my equal,
my companion, my familiar friend.
14 We used to take sweet counsel together;
within God's house we walked in the throng.
16 But I call to God,
and the Lord will save me.
18 He redeems my soul in safety
from the battle that I wage,
for many are arrayed against me.
23b But I will trust in you.
