==

One thing have I asked of the LORD, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to inquire in his temple. For he will hide me in his shelter in the day of trouble; he will conceal me under the cover of his tent; he will lift me high upon a rock.

Psalm 27:4-5

===

The most important thing to this psalm writer is this – he wants to be with God. Forever.

He knows that if he’s with God, he’ll be able to …
– see God’s beauty
– learn about him
– be protected by him and
– be lifted up by him

We should all want all of these things. Seek after God.

==

The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? When evildoers assail me to eat up my flesh, my adversaries and foes, it is they who stumble and fall. Though an army encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; though war arise against me, yet I will be confident.

Psalm 27:1-3

===

There is evil in the world. This is clear by what we see as we look around (inside and out) and it’s clear in the Word of God.

What is also clear in the Bible is this: Evil is no match for God.
Evildoers will fail to kill us.
The evil army will not take us down.

We can be confident because the Lord is our light and salvation.

The LORD is a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. And those who know your name put their trust in you, for you, O LORD, have not forsaken those who seek you.

Psalm 9:9-10

Do you feel oppressed? Are there times of trouble in your future?

There is a being you can go to. One who is a stronghold.

He does not forsake those who seek him.

Put your trust in him

==

“…I am watching over my word to perform it.”

Jeremiah 1:12

===

Do you trust God? Then trust His Word.

An all-powerful, all knowing and all-loving God would not give us a flawed text, or one that doesn’t last.

He gave us a trustable source of wisdom and knowledge about himself and the way to salvation.

Trust it and praise Him.

==

He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, having become as much superior to angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs.

Hebrews 1:3-4

===

Jesus isn’t a prophet. He isn’t a mere human. He isn’t god-like. He isn’t a creature with supernatural powers. He doesn’t just have a strong connection with God.

He is God. He has his exact imprint. He is a part of the being that holds the whole universe in his realm.

He is far superior to the rest of us humans.
He is far superior to all the angels.

Worship Jesus. Glorify Jesus. Be saved by Jesus.

==

Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world.

Hebrews 1:1-2

===

A message from the King is more intimate and shows more care if it’s not being given by a normal messenger, but the King’s own son.

And in this case, the Son who is the ‘heir of all things’ and who was a part of creating the world.

We should be grateful. And we should take the message very seriously.

==

Whoever covers an offense seeks love, but he who repeats a matter separates close friends. 22A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.

Proverbs 17:9,22

===

Generally speaking, a wise way to respond to an offensive word or action is to not tell other people about it. The relationship between even close friends might harmed if you unwisely bring others into the conflict.

==

Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts! And see if there be any grievous way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting!

It is good to trust God to determine where our grievous ways are.
Trust Him and he will into the everlasting way.
