I OWE YOUR TWO POSTS CAUSE I HAVEN'T POSTED AT ALL YET/; okay so here goes nothing hahas :D
I'm gonna talk about PSALM 91~ which is the psalm of 2 days ago which is the psalm of Monday the 31st of March!
He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust."
3 Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare and from the deadly pestilence.
4 He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
5 You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day,
6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday.
7 A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you.
8 You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked.
9 If you make the Most High your dwelling— even the LORD, who is my refuge-
10 then no harm will befall you, no disaster will come near your tent.
11 For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways;
12 they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread upon the lion and the cobra; you will trample the great lion and the serpent.
14 "Because he loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
15 He will call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.
16 With long life will I satisfy him and show him my salvation."
erm to me the psalm is God's promise to us :D
in this psalm the psalmist tells me that:
1.GOD LOVES ME AND YOU AND EVERYONE! 2.GOD HAS THE AUTHORITY OVER US. 3.trust in the lord and HE WILL PROVIDE FOR US. 4.BECAUSE OF HIM WE NEED NOT FEAR stuff like snakes and lions or even the darkness. 5.GOD WILL LET NO HARM BEFALL US if we find shelter and stay with him all the rest of our lives
all this points equate to:
God will provide and protect us as long as we love him and honor him and call to him.
so now i'm very happy cause i know God will always be there when i need him :D AND he;ll be there when you need him too!

Casting Crowns - Praise You In This Storm
Praise You in This Storm words by Mark Hall/music by Mark Hall and Bernie Herms
I was sure by now,God, that You would have reached down and wiped our tears away, stepped in and saved the day. But once again, I say amen and it's still raining as the thunder rolls I barely hear You whisper through the rain, "I'm with you" and as Your mercy falls I raise my hands and praise the God who gives and takes away.
Chorus: And I'll praise you in this storm and I will lift my hands for You are who You are no matter where I am and every tear I've cried You hold in your hand You never left my side and though my heart is torn I will praise You in this storm
I remember when I stumbled in the wind You heard my cry to You and raised me up again my strength is almost gone how can I carry on if I can't find You and as the thunder rolls I barely hear You whisper through the rain "I'm with you" and as Your mercy falls I raise my hands and praise the God who gives and takes away
Chorus
I lift my eyes onto the hills where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth I lift my eyes onto the hills where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth
to tell you earnestly, I've been feeling GREATLY disappointed with myself. i feel i have lost my purpose and the heart to serve GOD. THAT'S WHY I FEEL LIKE KILLING MYSELF FOR NOT GOING FOR THE SANCTIFICATION WEEK. i've missed out just so much D: i want to renew my heart to god but i just don't know how.
when jasmin told us about that session in the sanctification week, the one on whether i would still love GOD even though he may not bless me forever. I REALISED THAT THIS IS THE QUESTION! the question I've been avoiding all my life.
you know what was my answer then? I DON'T KNOW/;
i don't know, can you believe it.
i guess i took GOD for granted, took God for someone who i could turn to when i needed help. what happened to my love for God? D:
I KEEP TELLING MYSELF I LOVE GOD I LOVE GOD! but some how i don't feel god's strong presence in my life anymore. MY HEARTS HARDENING!!! D:
it's time i stop avoiding the question and face up with it.
i guess this song some how relates. read the lyrics :D i lazy explain .
