Rockie's Favorite 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 evil men advance against me

to devour my flesh,

when my enemies and my foes attack me,

they will stumble and fall.
Though an army besiege me,

my heart will not fear;

though war break out against me,

even then will I be confident.

One thing I ask of the LORD,

this is what I seek:

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 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 tabernacle

and set me high upon a rock.
Then my head will be exalted

above the enemies who surround me;

at his tabernacle will I sacrifice with shouts of joy;

I will sing and make music to the LORD.

Hear my voice when I call, O 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,

O God my Savior.
Though my father and mother forsake me,

the LORD will receive me.
Teach me your way, O 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,

breathing out violence.

I am still 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.

Alot of you know what a journey I have had through out college and even since then. This Psalm has held me steady since the first time I heard it about 7 years ago. It was the same for me today. It gives me strength and courage and reminds me constantly that earthly people, will always forsake me. Even if they are the person I should be able to count on the most, I will be forsaken and only the Lord will receive me for eternity. Praise the Lord for His provision and for always keeping me safe in His dwelling, even when I was a young child , He sheltered me from so many things so that I may one day be His child. Praises!!!!
