Strength

Psalm 8

O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!
who hast set thy glory above the heavens.

Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained
strength because of thine enemies,
that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.

When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers,
the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;

What is man, that thou art mindful of him?
and the son of man, that thou visitest him?

For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels,
and hast crowned him with glory and honour.

Thou madest him to have dominion
over the works of thy hands;
thou hast put all things under his feet:

All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;


The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea,
and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.

O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!
Praise the Lord for the countless blessings he has placed in your life. Give glory to he whom it is so righteously due...

The Word is Tried...

Psalm 18:30-32
"As for God, his way is perfect: the
word of the Lord is tried:
he is a buckler to all those
that trust in him. For
who is God save the Lord? or
who is a rock save our God?
It is God that girdeth me with
strength, and maketh
my way perfect."
It is a new month. I am struck by this verse on my calendar. God's way is of course perfect, yet we humans often forget...or put that fact aside, as we try to do everything our own way. God's way is perfect. He is the LORD. He is our buckler and the one in whom we should trust. He will not lead us in the wrong direction. We need only wait upon the Lord and he shall direct our paths.
At times we grumble and worry about how long we must wait to hear from the Lord. But when we still our souls, quiet our thoughts and ambitions, we will hear from him. Take time to be still before God. Trust that his timing is better than your own. He knows best and what he prepares for those who follow him, is MUCH better than anything we can generate on our own.
