I am so happy to be reaping the benefits of consistently being in His Word. Last night I found myself becoming more and more anxious about work related worries. I was able to pause and focus on my meditation to refocus. Then, as what felt like an added reward, I read these words in Daily Light this morning. (This is ESV, mine is NKJV)
Ps. 48:14; Isa. 25:1; Ps. 16:5; Ps. 23:3, 4; Ps. 73:23-26; Ps. 33:21; Ps. 138:8
This is God, our God forever and ever. He will guide us forever.O Lord, you are my God; I will exalt you; I will praise your name, for you have done wonderful things, plans formed of old, faithful and sure.—The Lord is my chosen portion and my cup.
He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 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.—You hold my right hand. You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will receive me to glory. Whom have I in heaven but you? And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.—For our heart is glad in him, because we trust in his holy name.—The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me; your steadfast love, O Lord, endures forever. Do not forsake the work of your hands.
I was able to enter my day in a state of praise and peace. Now, my day started with me leaving the house at 5am...I just returned at 9pm. It was a VERY long day, but I did not feel anxious in the least. Tonight, my evening Daily Light, will support my sweet, peaceful dreams.
Ps. 94:19; Ps. 61:2; Isa. 38:14; Ps. 55:22; 1 Kings 3:7; Jas. 1:5; 2 Cor. 2:16; Rom. 7:18; 2 Cor. 12:9; Matt. 9:2, 22; Ps. 63:5, 6
When the cares of my heart are many, your consolations cheer my soul.When my heart is faint… lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
O Lord, I am oppressed; be my pledge of safety!—Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you.
“I am but a little child. I do not know how to go out or come in.”—If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God… and it will be given him.
Who is sufficient for these things?—For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh.—“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”
“Take heart, my son; your sins are forgiven…. Take heart, daughter; your faith has made you well.”
My soul will be satisfied as with fat and rich food… when I remember you upon my bed, and meditate on you in the watches of the night.
I love that I am instructed here to meditate at night. I'm off to do just that.
