The Lord

"The Lord is in His holy temple; the Lord's throne is in heaven--it's never hopeless.

"Preserve me, O Adonai, for I take refuge in Thee. I said to the Lord, 'Thou art my Lord; I have no good besides Thee."--As I hide in Him, cling to Him, the Sovereign Master, I rest in His goodness. God is so good. "Thou will make known to me the path of life; in Thy presence is fullness of joy."

"The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?"--It is not that He gives us light and salvation; He is our light and salvation. "Do not fear, for I am with you."

"When Thou didst say, 'Seek My face,' my heart said to Thee, 'Thy face, O Lord, will I seek.' "--Seek and you will find.

"I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; yes, wait for the Lord." Release your fears to the loving heart of the Living God. Take courage. Stand firm.

He is in control--the Lord of Lords. He is your Sovereign Master--your refuge. He is your light and your salvation. He longs for intimacy with you--face to face. He lives--to show you His goodness right now, in this life. He can be trusted with your cares. Cast them on Him. "Only be strong, and very courageous."
