Psalm 16:1-9

       Psalm 16:1-9

"Keep me safe, O God, for I have come to you for refuge. I said to the Lord, “You are my Master! Every good thing I have comes from you.” The godly people in the land are my true heroes!

    I take pleasure in them! Troubles multiply for those who chase after other gods. I will not take part in their sacrifices of blood
    or even speak the names of their gods. Lord, you alone are my inheritance, my cup of blessing. You guard all that is mine. The land you have given me is a pleasant land. What a wonderful inheritance! I will bless the Lord who guides me even at night my heart instructs me. I know the Lord is always with me. I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me. No wonder my heart is glad, and I rejoice. My body rests in safety."

These verses has really spoken to me in the past week. They go along with what I have been learning and that is that Christ is King and He is in control and He will bless me through everything. They remind me that God will watch over me and the people and things I love dearly so I don't have to worry. When we go after the earthly things, we get so confused and messed up but when we focus on God and His Plan for us then there are not troubles that He cannot help us fix. He has given me the chance (land) to change lives in the here and now and I'm learning so many things from the experience. God tells me what way to go if I would only listen even at night my heart is still working to keep me alive because He has more things He wants me to do. The Lord is always with me even when I feel alone. He is right beside me and I should not doubt that a bit. I know I do because I'm human but how can I after everything I see throughout the day. I'm happy where I am right now and I rejoice. I get to rejoice everyday with a child when he or she learns something new. I feel at peace with this job that I am in because I know I'm in the safety of other people. They care about the children like I do and wants what is best for them. 

Challenge: What are some of the good things (blessings) that God has given you lately? Are you following the Plan God has for you? Are you finding rest and safety in God?
