Psalm 91

Safety of Abiding in the Presence of God

¹ He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
         Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
² I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress;
         My God, in Him I will trust.”

³ Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler^[a]
         And from the perilous pestilence.
⁴ He shall cover you with His feathers,
         And under His wings you shall take refuge;
         His truth shall be your shield and buckler.
⁵ You shall not be afraid of the terror by night,
         Nor of the arrow that flies by day,
⁶ Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness,
         Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.

⁷ A thousand may fall at your side,
         And ten thousand at your right hand;
         But it shall not come near you.
⁸ Only with your eyes shall you look,
         And see the reward of the wicked.

⁹ Because you have made the LORD, who is my refuge,
         Even the Most High, your dwelling place,
¹⁰ No evil shall befall you,
         Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling;
¹¹ For He shall give His angels charge over you,
         To keep you in all your ways.
¹² In their hands they shall bear you up,
         Lest you dash your foot against a stone.
¹³ You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra,
         The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.

¹⁴ “Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him;
         I will set him on high, because he has known My name.
¹⁵ He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him;
         I will be with him in trouble;
         I will deliver him and honor him.
¹⁶ With long life I will satisfy him,
         And show him My salvation.”

1 In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust ; let me never be ashamed : deliver me in thy righteousness.2 Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily: be thou my strong rock, for an house of defenceto save me. 3 For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name's sake lead me, andguide me. 4 Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for me: for thou art my strength. 5Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O LORD God of truth. 6 I have hatedthem that regard lying vanities: but I trust in the LORD. 7 I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: for thou hast considered my trouble; thou hast known my soul in adversities; 8 And hast not shut meup into the hand of the enemy : thou hast set my feet in a large room. 9 Have mercy upon me, OLORD, for I am in trouble : mine eye is consumed with grief, yea, my soul and my belly. 10 For mylife is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are consumed . 11 I was a reproach among all mine enemies , but especially among myneighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance : they that did see me without fled from me. 12 I amforgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken vessel. 13 For I have heard the slander ofmany: fear was on every side: while they took counsel together against me, they devised to takeaway my life. 14 But I trusted in thee, O LORD: I said , Thou art my God. 15 My times are in thyhand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies , and from them that persecute me. 16 Make thyface to shine upon thy servant: save me for thy mercies' sake. 17 Let me not be ashamed , OLORD; for I have called upon thee: let the wicked be ashamed , and let them be silent in the grave.18 Let the lying lips be put to silence ; which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuouslyagainst the righteous. 19 Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fearthee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men! 20 Thou shalthide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in apavilion from the strife of tongues. 21 Blessed be the LORD: for he hath shewed me hismarvellous kindness in a strong city. 22 For I said in my haste , I am cut off from before thineeyes: nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried unto thee. 23 O lovethe LORD, all ye his saints: for the LORD preserveth the faithful , and plentifully rewardeth theproud doer . 24 Be of good courage , and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in theLORD.

1 In my distress I cried unto the LORD, and he heard me. 2 Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lyinglips, and from a deceitful tongue. 3 What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue? 4 Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper. 5 Woe is me, that Isojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar! 6 My soul hath long dwelt with him that hatethpeace. 7 I am for peace: but when I speak , they are for war.

1 Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. 2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: 3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thydiseases; 4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; 5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like theeagle's. 6 The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed . 7 He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel. 8 The LORD is merciful andgracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy. 9 He will not always chide : neither will he keephis anger for ever. 10 He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to ouriniquities. 11 For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them thatfear him. 12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us. 13 Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him. 14 For heknoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust. 15 As for man, his days are as grass: as aflower of the field, so he flourisheth . 16 For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the placethereof shall know it no more. 17 But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlastingupon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children; 18 To such as keep hiscovenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them. 19 The LORD hathprepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all. 20 Bless the LORD, ye hisangels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.21 Bless ye the LORD, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure. 22 Bless theLORD, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the LORD, O my soul.

1 Fret not thyself because of evildoers , neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. 2For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb. 3 Trust in theLORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed . 4 Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. 5 Commit thy way unto theLORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass . 6 And he shall bring forth thy righteousnessas the light, and thy judgment as the noonday. 7 Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fretnot thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wickeddevices to pass . 8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil . 9For evildoers shall be cut off : but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth. 10For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be. 11 But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in theabundance of peace. 12 The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with histeeth. 13 The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming . 14 The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright conversation. 15 Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken . 16 A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked. 17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken : but the LORD upholdeth the righteous. 18 The LORDknoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever. 19 They shall not beashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied . 20 But the wicked shallperish , and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume ; intosmoke shall they consume away . 21 The wicked borroweth , and payeth not again : but therighteous sheweth mercy , and giveth . 22 For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth;and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off . 23 The steps of a good man are ordered by theLORD: and he delighteth in his way. 24 Though he fall , he shall not be utterly cast down : for theLORD upholdeth him with his hand. 25 I have been young, and now am old ; yet have I not seenthe righteous forsaken , nor his seed begging bread. 26 He is ever merciful , and lendeth ; and hisseed is blessed. 27 Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore. 28 For the LORDloveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of thewicked shall be cut off . 29 The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever. 30 Themouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment. 31 The law of hisGod is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide . 32 The wicked watcheth the righteous, andseeketh to slay him. 33 The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he isjudged . 34 Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off , thou shalt see it. 35 I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreadinghimself like a green bay tree. 36 Yet he passed away , and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found . 37 Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that manis peace. 38 But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cutoff . 39 But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: he is their strength in the time of trouble.40 And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, andsave them, because they trust in him.

1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become assounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. 2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand allmysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, andhave not charity, I am nothing. 3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though Igive my body to be burned , and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. 4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind ; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself , is not puffed up , 5 Doth not behave itself unseemly , seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked , thinketh no evil; 6 Rejoiceth not ininiquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; 7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things,endureth all things. 8 Charity never faileth : but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail ;whether there be tongues, they shall cease ; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away . 9For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. 10 But when that which is perfect is come , thenthat which is in part shall be done away . 11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understoodas a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 12 For nowwe see through a glass, darkly ; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I knoweven as also I am known . 13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest ofthese is charity.

"Sexual Inventory" - New Life Daily Devotion - Feb. 27, 2010

2010-02-27T13:20:00.000-07:00

Sexual Inventory
Matthew 5:27-30

We made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.

We're all sexual beings. For some of us sex becomes an addiction, used to medicate our pain. Instead of staying within the committed safety of marriage, as God prescribes, we overdose on sex, emotionally or physically. Any time the marriage bond is violated, deep wounds are created which damage our sense of security. This is true whether the damaged marriage involves our parents, ourselves, or both. Dealing properly with our sexuality is a vital part of our recovery.

Jesus taught us, "You have heard the commandment that says, 'You must not commit adultery.' But I say, anyone who even looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart" (Matthew 5:27-28). One day, a group of lawyers brought a woman who had been caught in the act of adultery to Jesus and asked him to pass judgment. Jesus told them that they could stone her to death in accordance with the law, but only if a person without sin threw the first stone. "[The Jewish leaders] slipped away one by one, beginning with the oldest, until only Jesus was left in the middle of the crowd with the woman. Then Jesus stood up again and said to the woman, 'Where are your accusers? Didn't even one of them condemn you?' 'No, Lord,' she said. And Jesus said, 'Neither do I. Go and sin no more'" (John 8:9-11).

The point of making an inventory of our sexuality is not to bring condemnation upon ourselves or others. It is to see where the wounds are and to move toward healing the devastation.

Left unchecked, wrong desires lead to wrong actions, which will lead us away from God and from our recovery.

1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power. 2Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness. 3 Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp. 4 Praise him with the timbrel anddance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs. 5 Praise him upon the loud cymbals:praise him upon the high sounding cymbals. 6 Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD.Praise ye the LORD.

2010-02-26T19:21:00.000-07:00

“1 Unto thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul. 2 O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed , let not mine enemies triumph over me. 3 Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed : let them be ashamed which transgress without cause. 4 Shew me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths. 5 Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day. 6 Remember , O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they have been ever of old. 7 Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness’ sake, O LORD. 8 Good and upright is the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners in the way. 9 The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way. 10 All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies. 11 For thy name’s sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great. 12 What man is he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose . 13 His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth. 14 The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant. 15 Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net. 16 Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I am desolate and afflicted. 17 The troubles of my heart are enlarged : O bring thou me out of my distresses. 18 Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins. 19 Consider mine enemies ; for they are many ; and they hate me with cruel hatred. 20 O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed ; for I put my trust in thee. 21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee. 22 Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.”
