For years now, I’ve been having a certain type of dream. The idea behind the dream is to defeat me, to make me feel shame and worthlessness – I have Christian music playing all night to help overcome bad dreams. I know this dream is not of God, but I also know that, somehow, God will use it for good in my life. Praise Jesus!
I had another version of the same dream last night and got up this morning feeling a little weary. The Lord often rescues my countenance with this powerful, little song. It may be that someone else needs to be reminded of the powerful truth in this song taken from Isaiah 51:11. =)
I like to put this song on “Loop.” Before I know it, I’m singing along with it. It can really lift my spirit and reminds me of Whose I am.
God loves us so much. He watches over our hearts to bring His great salvation to every part of our being.
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
Psalm 23
They shall obtain gladness and joy…=)
God bless,
Mark
