Hide in His Shelter

4 One thing have I asked of the Lord, that will I seek, inquire for, and [insistently] require: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord [in His presence] all the days of my life, to behold and gaze upon the beauty [the sweet attractiveness and the delightful loveliness] of the Lord and to meditate, consider, and inquire in His temple.

5 For in the day of trouble He will hide me in His shelter; in the secret place of His tent will He hide me; He will set me high upon a rock. ~ Psalm 27:4-5 (AMPC)

Wisdom from Reading God's Word

‎"Read the Bible daily. Make it part of your everyday business to read and meditate on some portion of God’s Word. Gather your manna fresh every morning. Choose your own seasons and hours. Do not scramble over and hurry your reading. Give your Bible the best, and not the worst, part of your time. But whatever plan you pursue, let it be a rule of your life to visit the throne of grace and the Bible every day." ~ J.C. Ryle

“But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere. And a harvest of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.” James 3:17-18 ESV

Meditate on His Decrees

I lift up my hands to your commands, which I love, and I meditate on your decrees.

God's Word

Psalm 119 (taken from my daughter's reading text book)

Blest are the undefiled in heart,
Whose ways are right and clean;
Who never from Thy Law depart,
But on Thy precepts lean.

Blest are the men who keep Thy Word,
And practice Thy commands;
With their whole heart they seek the Lord,
And serve Him with their hands.

How shall the young man cleanse his way
And guard his life from sin?
By taking heed to what You say
To hide Thy Word within.

With my whole heart I've saught Thy face;
Oh, let me never stray
From Thy commands, O God of grace,
Nor treat the sinner's way.

Thy Word I've hid within my heart
That it may stay with me
To warn me when my steps would start
To sin and turn from Thee.

To meditate Thy precepts, Lord,
Shall be my sweet employ;
My soul shall not forget Thy Word;
Thy Word is all my joy.

Deal kindly with Thy servant, Lord,
That I may live to Thee;
Open mine eyes to read Thy Word,
And wondrous things to see.

Oh, that the Lord would guide my ways
To keep His statues still!
Oh, that my God would grant me grace
To know and do His will!

Make me to walk in Thy commands,
This path is my delight.
Incline my heart, my head, my hands
To cleave unto the right.

Oh, how I love Thy holy Law!
Through all the day I find
My meditations there can draw
Sweet rest and peace of mind.

'Tis like the sun, a heavenly light,
That guides us all the day;
And through the dangers of the night,
A lamp to lead our way.
