Psalm 27
A Psalm of David.
1 The LORD is my light and my salvation;
Whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the strength of my life;
Of whom shall I be afraid?
2 When the wicked came against me
To eat up my flesh,
My enemies and foes,
They stumbled and fell.
3 Though an army may encamp against me,
My heart shall not fear;
Though war may rise against me,
In this I will be confident.
4 One thing I have desired of the LORD,
That will I seek:
That I may dwell in the house of the LORD
All the days of my life,
To behold the beauty of the LORD,
And to inquire in His temple.
5 For in the time of trouble
He shall hide me in His pavilion;
In the secret place of His tabernacle
He shall hide me;
He shall set me high upon a rock.
6 And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies all around me;
Therefore I will offer sacrifices of joy in His tabernacle;
I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the LORD.
7 Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice!
Have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
8 When You said, “Seek My face,”
My heart said to You, “Your face, LORD, I will seek.”
9 Do not hide Your face from me;
Do not turn Your servant away in anger;
You have been my help;
Do not leave me nor forsake me,
O God of my salvation.
10 When my father and my mother forsake me,
Then the LORD will take care of me.
11 Teach me Your way, O LORD,
And lead me in a smooth path, because of my enemies.
12 Do not deliver me to the will of my adversaries;
For false witnesses have risen against me,
And such as breathe out violence.
13 I would have lost heart, unless I had believed
That I would see the goodness of the LORD
In the land of the living.
14 Wait on the LORD;
Be of good courage,
And He shall strengthen your heart;
Wait, I say, on the LORD!

Thats cool, did you learn that in your bible class or just came across it and liked it? And what exactly do you do in bible class? My curiosity gets the better of me for lack of such education.
It was something i actually came across last year. I was going through a tough time emotionally and when i read this psalm i felt the LORD speak to my heart; it was almost like I could feel His arms around me. I've gone back and reread it several times between now and then and every time I am encouraged. I decided to post it on my blog incase it just so happened to be what someone needed to read.
Response to the question about Bible class: It kinda varies from day to day. Righ now we are going through a workbook type thing that we do work in and my teacher just kinda lectures on. It's alright but sometimes i feel a little like we do the same thing all the time lol. but it's not too bad either way
How's school going so far?...when do you have to take finals, again?
Coobeans. So in the workbook does it just kinda ask you to read a bible passage and ask you questions on how you translated it and what not? That would be cool if I could get an actual school credit for reading the bible lol, even though it has work attached bleh. School isn't going to bad, got another week and a half until finals, they start on the 21st, if thats the wednesday that week lol, and go until the 23rd, which reminds me is a date to remember because our church is having a dodgeball tournament that night, so that should be pretty sweet lol. Anyways good luck studying for your finals and writing your Honors Essay! Which you should e-mail me by they way when you're finished with it if you're not too shy :) I don't know much about other religions which I kinda feel like I should/want to know about them. So yea, good luck, see ya!
The workbook we are working on is entitled "Setting You Free to Make Right Choices". So, the main topic is over making healthy choices that please God and are benefical to your life.
Oh, about the Honors project.....i sorta ran out of time so i had to do something quick...which ended up not being the essay lol...but if i write one in the future i will be more than happy to email it to you :)
