Confidence in the Lord

Psalm 16:1-11 GNT

Protect me, O God; I trust in you for safety.
I say to the LORD, “You are my Lord;

all the good things I have come from you.”
How excellent are the LORD's faithful people!

My greatest pleasure is to be with them.
Those who rush to other gods

bring many troubles on themselves.
I will not take part in their sacrifices;

I will not worship their gods.
You, LORD, are all I have,

and you give me all I need;

my future is in your hands.
How wonderful are your gifts to me;

how good they are!
I praise the LORD, because he guides me,

and in the night my conscience warns me.
I am always aware of the LORD's presence;

he is near, and nothing can shake me.
And so I am thankful and glad,

and I feel completely secure,
because you protect me from the power of death.

I have served you faithfully,

and you will not abandon me to the world of the dead.
You will show me the path that leads to life;

your presence fills me with joy

and brings me pleasure forever.

To Rest

Mark 6:31 New King James Version (NKJV) 31  And He said to them,  “Come aside by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while."

To Encourage...

Hebrews 10:23-25 English Standard Version (ESV) 23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. 24 And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, 25 not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.
