The Psalms...

I am finally in the Psalms in my bible reading. I have never really read through the Psalms, they just seemed way out of my knowledge of understanding. I am reading through them right now and I am seeing tons of the songs we sing today in church that come straight from the Psalms. (I am sure everyone already knows this.) I think I am noticing this more just because I put the songs in the computer for church and I am now even more aware of the words.

Anyways, I was reading on Tuesday night and I needed to to get to Psalm 25 in order to go onto my next day, but for some reason I just got too tired and stopped at Psalm 19. Wednesday we met with our Realtor and I could almost start to worry...thoughts were coming in, I was trying to ward them off, but they kept coming in. That night I started my reading with Psalm 20 and I feel that this was God's way of calming me.

Psalm 20

For the director of music. A psalm of David.

1 May the LORD answer you when you are in distress;
may the name of the God of Jacob protect you.

2 May he send you help from the sanctuary
and grant you support from Zion.

3 May he remember all your sacrifices
and accept your burnt offerings.
Selah

4 May he give you the desire of your heart
and make all your plans succeed.

5 We will shout for joy when you are victorious
and will lift up our banners in the name of our God.
May the LORD grant all your requests.

6 Now I know that the LORD saves his anointed;
he answers him from his holy heaven
with the saving power of his right hand.

7 Some trust in chariots and some in horses,
but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.

8 They are brought to their knees and fall,
but we rise up and stand firm.

9 O LORD, save the king!
Answer ^[a] us when we call!

But we trust in the name of the Lord our God, this will be what I keep reminding myself through this time of uncertainty. No matter what happens, I will trust in the name of the Lord my God!
