You are my Lord.....
Both readings I turned to this morning said essentially the same phrase, "You are my Lord". At the beginning of a potentially very busy week of business and travel, I needed that reminder...He is the planner, the refuge, the Counselor, the joy giver......the Presence that goes before, behind and with me through all decisions, plans, miles...thank YOU that You don't abandon me along the way, but know the answers before I even know the questions... You know the routes before I even drive, You give breath each moment...You speak through your Word....
I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing.”
I say of the holy people who are in the land,“They are the noble ones in whom is all my delight.”
Those who run after other gods will suffer more and more.I will not pour out libations of blood to such godsor take up their names on my lips.
Lord, you alone are my portion and my cup; you make my lot secure.
The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance.
I will praise the Lord, who counsels me; even at night my heart instructs me.
I keep my eyes always on the Lord. With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will rest secure, because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead, nor will you let your faithful one see decay.
You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.
