MY DEVOTION

The  Lord  is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the  Lord  is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?   When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.   Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.    One thing have I desired of the  Lord , that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the  Lord  all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the  Lord , and to enquire in his temple.   For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.   And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifice of joy, I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the Lord.   Psalm 27:1-6 Lord be my light and my salvation.

I have done what is right and good, don't abandon me to my enemies. Promise that you will help your servant; don't let the arrogant oppress me. My eyes are tired from watching for your saving help, for the deliverance you promised. Treat me according to your constant love, and teach me your commands. I am your servant, give me understanding that I may know your teachings. Lord, it is time for you to act, because people are disobeying your law. I love your commands more than gold. And so I follow your instruction I hate all wrong ways. Psalm 119:121-128   

How clearly the sky reveals God's glory! How plainly it shows what he has done! Each day announces it to the following day, each night repeats it to the next. No speech for words are used, no sound is heard; yet their message goes out to all the world, and is heard to the ends of the earth. God made a home in the sky for the sun,  it comes out in the morning to run a race. It starts at one end of the sky and goes across to the other.  Nothing can hide from its heat. Psalm 19:1-6 Yet I was the one who taught Israel to walk. I took my people in my arms, but they did not acknowledge that I took care of them.  I drew them to me with affection and love. I picked them up and held them to my cheek; I bent down to them and feed them. Hosea 11:3-4
