SHAWNNIE7942 GOD CAN GIVE US JOY EVEN IN THE MIST OF DIFFICULT CIRCUMSTANCES.... - February 19, 2011 add/view comments (0)

O Lord, you have searched me and you know me. You know when i sit and when i rise; You perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; You are familar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely. O Lord. You hem me in behind and before; you have laid your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain. Where can i go from your Spirit? Where can i flee from your prescence? If i go up to the heavens, you are there; If i make my bed in the depths, you are there. If i rise on the wings of the dawn; If i settle on the far side of the sea; Even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast. If i say, "Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me Even the darkness will not be dark around you; the night will shine like the day, for the darkness is as light to you. For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because i am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when i was made in the secert place. When i was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! Were i to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand. When i awake, i am still with you. If only you would slay the wicked, O God! Away from me, you bloodthirsty people! They speak of you with evil intent; your adversaries misuse your name. Do i not hate those who hate you, O Lord! and abhor those who rise up against you? I have nothing but hatred for them; i count them my enemies. Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.............THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD, I SHALL NOT BE IN WANT. HE MAKES ME LIE DOWN IN GREEN PASTURES. HE LEADS ME BESIDE QUIET WATERS, HE RESTORES MY SOUL. HE GUIDES ME IN PATHS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS FOR HIS NAME'S SAKE. EVEN THOUGH I WALK THROUGH THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH, I WILL FEAR NO EVIL, FOR YOU ARE WITH ME; YOUR ROD AND YOUR STAFF, THEY COMFORT ME. YOU PREPARE A TABLE BEFORE ME IN THE PRESENCE OF MY ENEMIES. YOU ANOINT MY HEAD WITH OIL; MY CUP OVERFLOWS. SUREL Y GOODNESS AND LOVE WILL FOLLOW ME ALL THE DAYS OF MY LIFE, AND I WILL DWELL IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD FOREVER........AMEN
