The title of this post is from the worship song from Rick Pino "Your Love is Like" and the phrase has just been on my heart since thursday night at prayer.
So I was reading in my text book and one oftheparagraphs stood out to me (suprise surprise) and it was talking about faith, because it's a text book on faith and anyways it had Psalms 27:1 "...the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?"
So that sparking my intrest and all I read that entire Psalms, and I have read it before several times but this time it was like a new revelation of that Psalms.
I'm not going to type the entire Psalms I'm just gonna type the parts that I highlighted...
"The Lord my light and my salvation so why should I be afraid? The Lord is my fortress, protecting me from danger, so why should I tremble? Though a mighty army surrounds me, my herat will not be afraid. Even If I am attacked I will remain confident. The one thing I ask of the Lord- The thing I seek most- is to live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, delighting in the Lord's perfections and meditating in His Temple. For He will conceal me there when troubles come; He will hide me in His sanctuary. He will place me out of reach on a high rock. Then i will hold my head up high above my enemies who surround me. At his sanctuary I will offer sacrifices, with shouts of joy, singing and praising the Lord with music. My heart has heard you say, "Come and talk with me." And my heat responds, "Lord Iam coming." Even if my father and mother abandon me the Lord will hold me close. Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. yes wait patiently for the Lord."
The Lord created ME, and He wants to spend time with ME, He delights in ME!!! I have had this revelation before, but I guess God is doing a new work in me, and He is giving me a "re-revalation" I guess you could say. In Him I have nothing to fear! It says in Psalms 27:3 "Troubles may come, but I will not be afraid, and even if I am attacked I WILL REMAIN CONFIDENT!" it's jsut that he made us, and didn't leave us to fend for ourselves, He made us and takes care of us! As I'm writting this tears fill up in my eyes, because He is just that good to me! I make mistakes, but he still loves me for me, He accepts me for who I am! In verse 5 and 6 it says he places me on a rock far above my enemies AND holds my head high- He isn't ashamed of me!!! I verse 8 It says he calls out to us come and talk with me, HE WANTS ME! He desires for us to want to spend time with him, He desires me! That fact alone is well worth any hardship that may come my way, and trust me there have been plenty, and I am sure that there are more to follow, but hey, if I wasn't facing any trials right now, I think I would be more worried, because that would mean the devil wouldn't view me as a threat...
