Day
24: March 12th Tuesday
Protect me, O God, for
in you I take refuge. I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord; I have no good apart
from you.” As for the holy ones in the land, they are the noble, in whom is all
my delight. Those who choose another god multiply their sorrows; their drink
offerings of blood I will not pour out or take their names upon my lips. The
Lord is my chosen portion and my cup; you hold my lot. The boundary lines have
fallen for me in pleasant places; I have a goodly heritage. I bless the Lord
who gives me counsel; in the night also my heart instructs me. I keep the Lord
always before me; because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
Therefore my heart is glad, and my soul rejoices; my body also rests secure.
For you do not give me up to Sheol, or let your faithful one see the Pit. You
show me the path of life. In your presence there is fullness of joy; in your
right hand are pleasures forevermore.
The
Psalms are often called the hymn book of the Bible. Contained in the Psalms are every human
emotion possible: anger, joy, love, frustration, fear, wonder.
Read
Psalm 16. What emotions are being
expressed? Write them down. Is this how you are feeling today? What phrases and words pop out at you? How
can these words of God help you today?
