Today's Psalm

3 O Lord, how many are my foes!

Many are rising against me;

 many are saying of my soul,

there is no salvation for him in God. Selah

 But you, O Lord, are a shield about me,

my glory, and the lifter of my head.

 I cried aloud to the Lord,

and he vanswered me from his holy hill. Selah

 I lay down and slept;

I woke again, for the Lord sustained me.

 I will not be afraid of many thousands of people

who have set themselves against me all around.

 Arise, O Lord!

Save me, O my God!

For you strike all my enemies on the cheek;

you break the teeth of the wicked.

 Salvation belongs to the Lord;

your blessing be on your people! Selah

Perks

I know I've kinda been on a baby infatuation kick, but really, when you study something that amazing it's bound to happen! When I saw this cute picture, I thought how really beautiful new life is in every way. The most beautiful in people of course, and especially new life in Christ, but even in animals it's wonderful. Too precious.

Have a happy Friday!

Study

Last night as I was writing in my journal, I thought, how many ways can you say "I studied today"?

And is it completely true? Because then there's pinterest, which is way too distracting, so today I am going to turn off the internet and study. I think that would be better for the test tomorrow, don't you? And then tonight when I write in my journal I can truly just say: "I studied today"

Love,

My Prayer for today

Today's Psalm

The Lord is my light and my salvation—
    whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life—
    of whom shall I be afraid?

 When the wicked advance against me
    to devour^[a] me,
it is my enemies and my foes
    who will stumble and fall.
 Though an army besiege me,
    my heart will not fear;
though war break out against me,
    even then I will be confident.

 One thing I ask from the Lord,
    this only do I seek:
that I may dwell in the house of the Lord
    all the days of my life,
to gaze on the beauty of the Lord
    and to seek him in his temple.
 For in the day of trouble
    he will keep me safe in his dwelling;
he will hide me in the shelter of his sacred tent
    and set me high upon a rock.

 Then my head will be exalted
    above the enemies who surround me;
at his sacred tent I will sacrifice with shouts of joy;
    I will sing and make music to the Lord.

 Hear my voice when I call, Lord;
    be merciful to me and answer me.
 My heart says of you, “Seek his face!”
    Your face, Lord, I will seek.
 Do not hide your face from me,
    do not turn your servant away in anger;
    you have been my helper.
Do not reject me or forsake me,
    God my Savior.
 Though my father and mother forsake me,
    the Lord will receive me.

Teach me your way, Lord;
    lead me in a straight path
    because of my oppressors.
 Do not turn me over to the desire of my foes,
    for false witnesses rise up against me,
    spouting malicious accusations.

 I remain confident of this:
    I will see the goodness of the Lord
    in the land of the living.
 Wait for the Lord;
    be strong and take heart
    and wait for the Lord.

~Psalm 27~
