Oh Lord, I am grateful for your clear and present Word.
When I was reflecting on this passage this morning my heart became full at the beauty and clarity of God’s word.
The passage starts with “keep and protect me, O God, for in you I have placed my trust and found refuge”.
We are living in a season and time when external events could cause us to live in a constant state of fear but we, as leaders, have an obligation to learn of, believe in and to act on the Word of God to combat these fears. Yes, this is the work.
We also have a responsibility to carefully select the words that we say to remain in line with the Word because what we decree shall be established! In Proverbs 18:21 AMP we are reminded that : “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it and indulge it will eat its fruit and bear the consequences of their words.”
Lastly, trouble can and often is at every hand but we can find comfort in Psalms 34:19 AMP that “Many hardships and perplexing circumstances confront the righteous, But the LORD rescues him from them all.”
At the end of the day or at the conclusion of the whole matter; He is all we need.
We choose to say and believe: “You, LORD, are all I want! You are my choice, and you keep me safe.” CEV
Be Blessed,
Be a Blessing,
Fear not!
“Keep and protect me, O God, for in You I have placed my trust and found refuge.
I said to the Lord, “You are my Lord; I have no good besides You.”
As for the saints (godly people) who are in the land, They are the majestic and the noble and the excellent ones in whom is all my delight.
The sorrows [pain and suffering] of those who have chosen another god will be multiplied [because of their idolatry]; I will not pour out their drink offerings of blood, Nor will I take their names upon my lips.
The Lord is the portion of my inheritance, my cup [He is all I need]; You support my lot.”
Psalms 16:1-5 AMP
