Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
Psalm 23:4, ESV
Whatever happens around us, we can know – as Christians – that our Lord is watching over us, correcting us, and protecting us. Even in affliction, we can find comfort and peace in Christ.
When the cares of my heart are many, your consolations cheer my soul.
Psalm 94:19, ESV
In the craziness, hatred, sinfulness, and difficulties of this world, it is unfathomabley wonderful how great God’s love, mercy, grace, and promises are at calming and reassuring our weary hearts, souls, and minds.
One thing have I asked 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 gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to inquire in his temple.
Psalm 27:4, ESV
To seek the face and presence of the Lord is to seek the truth of Christ.
To seek Christ is to change your life, your thinking, and your actions by the help of the Holy Spirit.
Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts! And see if there be any grievous way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting!
Psalm 139:23-24, ESV
An honest person knows they are a sinner in need of grace. God knows this better than we do.
If we merely ask in faith, He will guide us in all righteousness through Jesus Christ.
Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.
Psalm 119:105, ESV
Our world, our lives, our walk with God all makes sense through Scripture, the Word of God. Only by it do we see the answer to evil, sin, and the need for a Savior.
And Who that Savior is.
So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom.
Psalm 90:12, ESV
This is not about remembering birthdays and anniversaries (though, that is not bad.)
Rather, we should aware of God’s power and Christ’s immanent return to bring justice and peace.
When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him?
Psalm 8:3-4, ESV
The God who created the Moon, stars, and galaxies and keeps them spinning and moving …
Not only created us but became one of us to save us from our sins.
Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him; bless his name!
Psalm 100:4, ESV
Always give thanks to God, for everything all the time, praising Him for His love and good works.
It is the fastest route to God’s heart.
For his anger is but for a moment, and his favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with the morning.
Psalm 30:5, ESV
Our sin is an utter offense to God, understandably made angry by it.
Yet, through the work of Christ, our gracious God forgives us and lifts us up.
He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
Psalm 23:3, ESV
God is the One who restores our soul. If we follow Jesus’ teachings, we will walk in righteousness and peace.
