seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
Matthew 6:33
The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid.
Hebrews 13: 5 -6
sam and joshie. you know that thing that was bugging me for a while. yeah. i kinda got some kind of resolution with it. basically stuff that was preached yesterday at service and stuff that we talked at about at YAM, gave some sort of sign. so yup, rather than agonising over it, i will commit it to God. there are so many things i have to give thanks to Him for. and in so many ways, i am so unworthy of His mery and love. it is okay. i shall continue to persevere and serve Him in whatever ways i can.
thanks you guys, all five of you. yes the musks
I waited patiently for the Lord;
he turned to me and heard my cry.
He lifted me out of the slimy pit,
out of the mud and mire;
he set my feet on a rock
and gave me a firm place to stand.
He put a new song in my mouth,
a hymn of praise to our God.
Many will see and fear
and put their trust in the Lord.
Blessed is the man
who makes the Lord his trust,
who does not look to the proud,
to those who turn aside to false gods.
Many, O Lord my God,
are the wonders you have done.
The things you planned for us
no one can recount to you;
were I to speak and tell of them,
they would be too many to declare.
Sacrifice and offering you did not desire,
but my ears you have pierced;
burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not require
"Then I said,"Here I am, I have come --
it is written about me in the scroll
I desire to do your will, O my God;
your law is within my heart."
I proclaim righteousness in the great assembly;
I do not seal my lips,
as you know, O Lord.
I do not hide your righteousness in my heart;
I speak of your faithfulness and salvation.
I do not conceal your love and your truth from the great assembly.
Do not withhold your mercy from me, O Lord;
may your love and your truth always protect me.
For troubles without number surround me;
my sins have overtaken me, and I cannot see.
They are more than the hairs of my head,
and my heart fails within me.
Be pleased O Lord to save mel
O Lord come quickly to help me;
May all who seek to take my life
be put to shame and confusion;
may all who desire my ruin be turned back in disgrace.
May those who say to me, "Aha! Aha!"
be appalled at their own shame,
But may all who seek you
rejoice and be glad in you;
May those who love your salvation always say
"The Lord be exalted!"
Yet, I am poor and needy;
may the Lord think of me.
You are my help and my deliverer;
O God, do not delay
- Psalm 40 -
