For your new week...

Find rest, O my soul, in God alone;
my hope comes from Him.
He alone is my rock and my salvation;
He is my fortress, I will not be shaken.
My salvation and my honor depend on God;
He is my mighty rock, my refuge.
Trust in Him at all times, O people;
pour out your hearts to Him,
for God is our refuge.

Psalm 62:5-8

Isn't it amazing to know that whatever we are going through, He is our "mighty rock," "salvation"..."refuge"? Not could be or might be--He is those things. Whatever troubles we are shouldering, we must surrender them to Him as you "pour out your hearts to Him." May you find rest in Him alone today.

One more of my favorite passages from Psalms, the greatest book of poetry...


Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love,

for I have put my trust in you.
Show me the way I should go,
for to you I lift up my soul.
Rescue me from my enemies, O LORD,
for I hide myself in you.
Teach me to do your will,
for you are my God;
may your good Spirit lead me on level ground.

Psalm 143:8-10
