Great peace have those

     who love Your law;

nothing 

      can make them stumble.

                             Psalm 119.165

(God's Word is my strength and shield.

      God changes me through it.)

You are my hiding place
                 and my shield;
I hope in Your Word.

                        Psalm 119.114

(God's Word empowers me
          to see this situation differently
   and move with grace within it.)

O give thanks to the LORD,
           for He is good;
for His steadfast love
                     endures for ever!
Let the redeemed of the LORD
                                 say so....

                               Psalm 107.1-2

(And not just once a year!)

Happy Thanksgiving!

It has seemed good to me
to show the signs and wonders
that the Most High God
         has wrought toward me.

                      Daniel 4.2

(Acknowledge to others,
        acknowledge myself,
               God at work.
For He is good,
      His faithfulness endures forever.
Even when we don't quite understand
                     yet.)

If Your law had not been my delight,
I should have perished in my affliction.

                                  Psalm 119.92

(Hold fast to God's Word.
God strengthens through it
            more than we can ever know,
   in ways beyond all measure.)

Always be prepared
to make a defense
to any one who calls you to account
         for the hope that is in you,
yet do it with gentleness and reverence...

                           1 Peter 3.15

(Not by a script memorized,
    but by a life transformed.
What is the difference in you?)

And the name of the city
henceforth shall be,
             The LORD is there.

                         Ezekiel 48.35

(Wherever God has placed me,
              no matter where,
His Presence changes everything.)
