Psalm 91
Psalm 91
1 Those who live in the shelter of the Most High
will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
2 This I declare of the LORD:
He alone is my refuge, my place of safety;
he is my God, and I am trusting him.
3 For he will rescue you from every trap
and protect you from the fatal plague.
4 He will shield you with his wings.
He will shelter you with his feathers.
His faithful promises are your armor and protection.
5 Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night,
nor fear the dangers of the day,
6 nor dread the plague that stalks in darkness,
nor the disaster that strikes at midday.
7 Though a thousand fall at your side,
though ten thousand are dying around you,
these evils will not touch you.
8 But you will see it with your eyes;
you will see how the wicked are punished.
9 If you make the LORD your refuge,
if you make the Most High your shelter,
10 no evil will conquer you;
no plague will come near your dwelling.
11 For he orders his angels
to protect you wherever you go.
12 They will hold you with their hands
to keep you from striking your foot on a stone.
13 You will trample down lions and poisonous snakes;
you will crush fierce lions and serpents under your feet!
14 The LORD says, "I will rescue those who love me.
I will protect those who trust in my name.
15 When they call on me, I will answer;
I will be with them in trouble.
I will rescue them and honor them.
16 I will satisfy them with a long life
and give them my salvation."
I love this psalm. I found it the other night whn I was having a really snotty night and I was left close to tears as it was so what I needed to hear...
Yesterday was crappy, after an awesome night at power prayer I just felt yuck and bleek and basically like I was going nuts, I sometimes think some christians when they get through their adversity they forgwt what it was like to be there, and at the moment I so depserately want to be free from my past but when I get dodgy things like my steering going even temprarily it tends to get a bit worrying doing 100kms next to a really big imovable concrete barrier, but thanks to god that I could take authortity and it had no choice but to flee.
anyhow spoke with C, and its always nice to speak with a more mature christian who actually gets it, and went through the rest of the day feeling much better. Got to work and R being the ding dong that he was had forgot to make sure there was a van avaliable so had to wait till 4pm. While I took my books and could do some study it wasnt the point, I busted a gut to get their in time and for nothing.
also was not impressed as I got my human development assignment back with a really crappy pass mark. I mean I passed and while I didnt expect an A+ the dopey marker had marked me wrong on somethings that I had got out of the admin handbook
