Take Heart

yesterday, as i read the Bible i came across on the verses in Psalm 27. 

Psalm 27 (NIV)

Of David.

 ¹ 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?

 ² When the wicked advance against me 

   to devour me, 

it is my enemies and my foes 

   who will stumble and fall. 

³ Though an army besiege me, 

   my heart will not fear; 

though war break out against me, 

   even then I will be confident.

 ⁴ One thing I ask from the LORD, 

   this only do I seek: 

that I may dwell in the house of the LORD 

   all the days of my life, 

to gaze on the beauty of the LORD 

   and to seek him in his temple. 

⁵ For in the day of trouble 

   he will keep me safe in his dwelling; 

he will hide me in the shelter of his sacred tent 

   and set me high upon a rock.

 ⁶ Then my head will be exalted 

   above the enemies who surround me; 

at his sacred tent I will sacrifice with shouts of joy; 

   I will sing and make music to the LORD.

 ⁷ Hear my voice when I call, LORD; 

   be merciful to me and answer me. 

⁸ My heart says of you, “Seek his face!” 

   Your face, LORD, I will seek. 

⁹ 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, 

   God my Savior. 

¹⁰ Though my father and mother forsake me, 

   the LORD will receive me. 

¹¹ Teach me your way, LORD; 

   lead me in a straight path 

   because of my oppressors. 

¹² Do not turn me over to the desire of my foes, 

   for false witnesses rise up against me, 

   spouting malicious accusations.

 ¹³ I remain confident of this: 

   I will see the goodness of the LORD 

   in the land of the living. 

¹⁴ Wait for the LORD; 

   be strong and take heart 

   and wait for the LORD.

every time i open my Bible, God speaks to me through His very Word. it always and always teach me about what I'm going through. Psalm 27, speaks about what I'm going through now. it serves as my prayer to the Lord. it's so grateful to know that God really arranged His Word (my daily devotion/quiet time) according to what I'm experiencing right now or what I'm going to experience in the future. God is so amazing. He's beyond my imagination. That's why i really love to read His Word everyday. I'm also excited about the fact that He has something good to say on that day. and i know that no matter how hard life is, i should not be afraid, i should be confident, i should be hopeful. because, God is my light and salvation, my stronghold, my savior, the One who will keep me safe and who set me high upon a rock. So, i will wait for Him, i'll be strong and I'll take heart. 

Happy Monday. Have a great week.
