You are my refuge and my shield; I have put my hope in your word.
Thoughts on This Verse....
Where can we go to remain secure from the onslaught of bad ideas, evil influences, and false hopes? We can go to God and his Word. While people can be disloyal and misguided, God's love is proven through history and through Jesus and his truth stands forever.
Quotes on Worship
Our entire being is fashioned as an instrument of praise. Just as a master violin maker designs an instrument to produce maximum aesthetic results, so God tailor-made our bodies, souls and spirits to work together in consonance to produce pleasing expressions of praise and worship. When we use body language to express praise, that which is internal becomes visible. - Don McMinn
I share Einstein’s affirmation that anyone who is not lost on the rapturous awe at the power and glory of the mind behind the universe “is as good as a burnt out candle.” - Madeleine L’Engle
Psalms 119:93
I will never forget your precepts, for by them you have preserved my life.
Thoughts on This Verse....
Much like the rules parents have for young children — don't drink what's under the cabinet, don't play in the street, don't walk out from behind parked cars... — God's guidance is not to restrict us, but to protect us. His commands, both positive and prohibitive, are for our protection and perfection. By them we find life and have it preserved. (The Old Testament Law had all sorts of cleanliness laws that did not make any sense at all until thousands of years after they were written when we began to understand bacteria and viruses. All through these years, the Israelites were preserved by God's command when they had no real understanding why God had given the laws in the first place.)
Daily Thoughts
God gives enough grace for whatever we face.
You need not fear where you’re going when you know God is going with you.
What the word of God is to the soul, water is to the body.
The world may discount you, but in God’s eyes you are priceless.
Blessings hemmed with praise won’t unravel.
