I was reading from Psalms this morning and came across these verses, which I have always enjoyed:
Psalm 32:6-9 NIV
[6] "Therefore let all the faithful pray to you while you may be found; surely the rising of the mighty waters will not reach them. [7] You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance. [8] I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you. [9] Do not be like the horse or the mule, which have no understanding but must be controlled by bit and bridle or they will not come to you."
I love these verses particularly because they offer hope to those who don't know what to do, or where to turn. The Lord speaks the promise of meeting us in our need, protecting us and guiding us. When unsettled or anxious, confused or lacking direction, that. Is what we need - someone to meet with us, someone to make sure we will be fine, and someone who will direct us in our next steps.
God will give us understanding, if we seek Him. He will give us His protection, if we turn to Him. He will direct us, if we listen! He does all this because He loves us! I am so grateful for the Lord's counsel and protection!
Those are good promises to start any day!
