Hallelujah!!!
Have I found my defining verses?
My life statement?
My heart’s fondest song?
There are so many to choose from, but I think this one was chosen for me.
May I quote it for you?
OK, I will.
Psalm 57:7-11 :
“My heart is steadfast, O God,
my heart is steadfast;
I will sing and make music.
Awake, my soul !
Awake, harp and lyre !
I will awaken the dawn.
I will praise you, Lord, among the nations;
I will sing of You among the people.
For great is Your love reaching to the heavens;
Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;
Let Your glory be over all the earth.”
Ohhh,
I pause,
breathless in absolute wonder of it . . .
Do you have a Bible verse, or set of verses that define your life,
or are your heart’s fondest song?
Please share them with all of us.
We will be blessed to hear them!

You always inspire me to rise out of my small world and taste the manna God has for us every morning if we will only gather it. I hope your network of readers is growing and God continues to give them and me the next story, message or word of encouragement we all need till we stand in His presence.

I, too, love the psalms, dear cousin!
Psalm 27 New King James Version (NKJV)
An Exuberant Declaration of Faith
A Psalm of David.
27 The Lord is my light and my salvation;
Whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the strength of my life;
Of whom shall I be afraid?
2 When the wicked came against me
To eat up my flesh,
My enemies and foes,
They stumbled and fell.
3 Though an army may encamp against me,
My heart shall not fear;
Though war may rise against me,
In this I will be confident.
4 One thing I have desired of theLord,
That will I seek:
That I may dwell in the house of the Lord
All the days of my life,
To behold the beauty of the Lord,
And to inquire in His temple.
5 For in the time of trouble
He shall hide me in His pavilion;
In the secret place of His tabernacle
He shall hide me;
He shall set me high upon a rock.
6 And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies all around me;
Therefore I will offer sacrifices of joy in His tabernacle;
I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord.
7 Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice!
Have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
8 When You said, “Seek My face,”
My heart said to You, “Your face,Lord, I will seek.”
9 Do not hide Your face from me;
Do not turn Your servant away in anger;
You have been my help;
Do not leave me nor forsake me,
O God of my salvation.
10 When my father and my mother forsake me,
Then the Lord will take care of me.
11 Teach me Your way, O Lord,
And lead me in a smooth path, because of my enemies.
12 Do not deliver me to the will of my adversaries;
For false witnesses have risen against me,
And such as breathe out violence.
13 I would have lost heart, unless I had believed
That I would see the goodness of the Lord
In the land of the living.
14 Wait on the Lord;
Be of good courage,
And He shall strengthen your heart;
Wait, I say, on the Lord!

Thanks, dear cousin! 27 is wonderful! (as they ALL are)
As I like to say, “Wait, I say, wait upon the Lord. Serve Him your time, and serve Him WITH your time.”
