Psalm 121

Just wanted to share what I read this morning:

1I look up to the mountains--does my help come from there?
2My help comes from the LORD, who made the heavens and the earth!
3He will not let you stumble and fall; the one who watches over you will not sleep.
4Indeed, he who watches over Israel never tires and never sleeps.
5The LORD himself watches over you! The LORD stands beside you as your protective shade.
6The sun will not hurt you by day, nor the moon at night.
7The LORD keeps you from all evil and preserves your life.
8The LORD keeps watch over you as you come and go, both now and forever.

What an incredible truth!! I never tire of hearing the Lord will NEVER leave me. Everytime I hear this, I am left standing in awe. “Be still and KNOW that I am God”

Lately I have been searching for my identity in everything BUT Christ. I laugh at how many times I have been taught this lesson- what a patient God we serve!! Last night I was writing in my journal and the Lord shared with me some amazing truths. We have heard all of this before, but last night it spoke straight to my heart. I wanted to share with you what the Lord revealed to me last night:

Who am I? What is my identity in Christ? I am- covered by your blood. Made righteous by Your blood. Whole in you. A daughter of the King. Capable of great things with You as the center.

“Who am I, GREAT are You”. You are AMAZING. Without You I am nothing. I don’t want to exist without You by my side. “I am not, but I know I AM”. You know me better than I know myself-- WOW.

You know everything I am not and You have a purpose behind all of my inabilities and weaknesses. For Your POWER is made PERFECT in my weaknesses. You are most glorified when I step aside and You live THROUGH me. I am most satisfied when I am glorifying Your name. You ALONE deserve ALL glory and honor and praise.

I am Your warrior princess. You are MY ezer kenegdo. I have a beauty to unveil because I was made in YOUR image. Because of you, I am beautiful. I am a daughter, sister, friend. One day I will be a wife and a mother. May You ALONE be glorified in all these positions of life. The battle is already won!! Because you have already DEFEATED DEATH! I am enough in You. I am worthy of love because of You. I am wholly accepted by you- flaws and all :)

I am pressed, but now crushed. Persecuted but no abandoned. Struck down but NOT destroyed. Return to me the JOY of my salvation. With You, Father, nothing is impossible. In YOU, I can do ALL things. In YOU, I find my strength. FOREVER You are FAITHFUL!!
