Tough days

Everyone has them every now and then.. I had one today.. I woke up sad and couldn't seem to get away from it. On days like today I like to read the Psalms. They encourage me and remind me just how much my God loves me. Today I wanted to share with you all a Psalms and one of my favorite songs. I know Christ has a reason for everything and in his perfect timing he will reveal his will to us. I woke up today feeling helpless to some of the situations in my life, but this is where Christ wants me.. Helpless with no one to turn to and lean on but Him. I have to trust His word and know that all things work together for my good as stated in Romans 8:28... talk about words to live by.

Psalms 71


1 In thee, O Lord, I trust: let me never be
ashamed.
2 Rescue me and deliver me in thy righteousness:
incline thine ear unto me and save me.
3 Be thou my strong rock, where unto I may
always resort: thou hast given commandment to
save me: for thou art my rock, and my fortress.
4 Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the
wicked: out of the hand of the evil and cruel man.
5 For thou art mine hope, O Lord God, even my
trust from my youth.
6 Upon thee have I been stayed from the womb:
thou art he that took me out of my mother’s bowels:
my praise shall be always of thee.
7 I am become as it were a monster unto many:
but thou art my sure trust.
8 Let my mouth be filled with thy praise, and
with thy glory every day.
9 Cast me not off in the time of age: forsake me
not when my strength faileth.
10 For mine enemies speak of me, and they that
lay wait for my soul, take their counsel together,
11 Saying, God hath forsaken him: pursue and
take him, for there is none to deliver him.
12 Go not far from me, O God: my God haste
thee to help me.
13 Let them be confounded and consumed that
are against my soul: let them be covered with reproof
and confusion, that seek mine hurt.
14 But I will wait continually, and will praise thee
more and more.
15 My mouth shall daily rehearse thy righteousness,
and thy salvation: 1for I know not the number.
16 I will go forward in the strength of the Lord
God, and will make mention of thy righteousness,
even of thine only.
17 O God, thou hast taught me from my youth
even until now: therefore will I tell of thy wondrous
works,
18 1Yea even unto mine old age and gray head, O
God: forsake me not, until I have declared thine arm
unto this generation, and thy power to all them that
shall come.
19 And thy 1righteousness, O God, I will exalt on
high: for thou hast done great things: O God, who
is like unto thee!
20 Which hast showed me great troubles and
adversities, but thou wilt return and revive me, and
wilt come again, and take me up from the depth of
the earth.
21 Thou wilt increase mine honor, and return and
comfort me.
22 Therefore will I praise thee for thy faithfulness,
O God, upon instrument and viol: unto thee will I
sing upon the harp, O Holy one of Israel.
23 My lips will rejoice when I sing unto thee, and
my soul which thou hast delivered.
24 My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness
daily: for they are confounded and brought unto
shame, that seek mine hurt.

Thank you Lord for being so faithful to me; I know that I am blessed beyond measure.

P.s. if your speakers are on then you are listening to one of my all time favorite songs.

Love, Me
