If you are a child of God you cannot help but love HIS Word to HIS children...it is obvious that David loved and cherished God's Word! I have always been amazed at the transparency of God's children in the bible. Over and over in the Psalms we hear David in great distress eventually coming to a place of rest and peace in his spirit, knowing that God is his shield and refuge.
Ps 56:3-4 Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in You. 4 In God (I will praise His word), In God I have put my trust; I will not fear. What can flesh do to me?
Ps 56:10-13 In God (I will praise His word), In the Lord (I will praise His word), 11 In God I have put my trust; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me? 12 Vows made to You are binding upon me, O God; I will render praises to You, 13 For You have delivered my soul from death. Have You not kept my feet from falling, That I may walk before God In the light of the living?
I was convicted this morning to seek HIM and to seek to please HIM alone...my purpose on this planet is not to be a man pleaser, but to play, to live, to work for an audience of one! The lover of my soul. The HCSB translates the last words of v13 saying "to walk before God in the light of life." That is to walk and play in the light of HIS presence, in the light of HIS glory as little children will play at the feet of their parents.
Let's walk, run, live and play in the light of life...specifically HIS life, the life of Jesus!
love,
