I just finished my prayers and Bible reading. I wanted God to give me something to read that would give me a feeling of peace and protection. I read Psalm 33 tonight and I felt I should share how peaceful I found it. Please read it or re read it if you ever want something pleasant to meditate on as you fall to sleep. The Lord is so good... better than we can ever imagine. I realize once again that there is no reason to fear anything..He is always there for us..loving and protecting us from evil.

AFter I read this I especially wanted to share this with Valerie. Please read it.

God Bless

Sing joyfully to the LORD, you righteous;
it is fitting for the upright to praise him.
Praise the LORD with the harp;
make music to him on the ten-stringed lyre.
Sing to him a new song;
play skillfully, and shout for joy.
For the word of the LORD is right and true;
he is faithful in all he does.
The LORD loves righteousness and justice;
the earth is full of his unfailing love.

By the word of the LORD were the heavens made,
their starry host by the breath of his mouth.
He gathers the waters of the sea into jars;
he puts the deep into storehouses.
Let all the earth fear the LORD;
let all the people of the world revere him.
For he spoke, and it came to be;
he commanded, and it stood firm.
The LORD foils the plans of the nations;
he thwarts the purposes of the peoples.
But the plans of the LORD stand firm forever,
the purposes of his heart through all generations.

Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD,
the people he chose for his inheritance.
From heaven the LORD looks down
and sees all mankind;
from his dwelling place he watches
all who live on earth—
he who forms the hearts of all,
who considers everything they do.
No king is saved by the size of his army;
no warrior escapes by his great strength.
A horse is a vain hope for deliverance;
despite all its great strength it cannot save.
But the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear him,
on those whose hope is in his unfailing love,
to deliver them from death
and keep them alive in famine.

We wait in hope for the LORD;
he is our help and our shield.
In him our hearts rejoice,
for we trust in his holy name.
May your unfailing love rest upon us, O LORD,
even as we put our hope in you. (Psalm 33:1-22, NIV)

Shannon, Thanks so much, God's word always brings me peace, love of God, knowing that I can rest in His arms at times I so desperately need. God Bless you for thinking of me this day, and may God in return grant you His Peace & Love that surpasses all understanding!

In Jesus' Love,

Valerie

Dear Valerie


I'm glad psalm 33 gave you peace. It did me as well. I was frightened at first by that video(will not mention it further...believe me I understand why).... I read that psalm and it gave me so much comfort and I felt I should share...We always need to turn around negative things that come our way and make them good using the word of God. I am no longer frightened for I know God will always protect me under His wing. He is a loving father and we really have nothing to fear.
