Hello family and friends

Welcome to Heartstrings where the story He is writing on our lives continues. Our journey, this path, leads us on to know Him more. Is that your heart desire? The last week I have been gleaning so much from Psalm 27. So, without my own input, I will let God's Word do the talking. He does it so well!

Psalm 27:1-14 says, "The LORD is my Light and my Salvation--whom shall I fear or dread? The LORD is the Refuge and Stronghold of my life--of whom shall I be afraid?

~ Though a host encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; though war arise against me, [even then] in this will I be confident.

~ 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.

~ 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.

~ And now shall my head be lifted up above my enemies round about me; in His tent I will offer sacrifices and shouting of joy; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the LORD.

~ Hear, O LORD, when I cry aloud; have mercy and be gracious to me and answer me!

~You have said, Seek My face [inquire for and require My presence as your vital need]. My heart says to You, Your face (Your presence), LORD, will I seek, inquire for, and require [of necessity and on the authority of Your Word].

~ Hide not Your face from me; turn not Your servant away in anger, You Who have been my help! Cast me not off, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation!

~ Although my father and my mother have forsaken me, yet the LORD will take me up [adopt me as His child].

~Teach me Your way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain and even path because of my enemies [those who lie in wait for me].

~ Give me not up to the will of my adversaries, for false witnesses have risen up against me; they breathe out cruelty and violence.

~ [What, what would have become of me] had I not believed that I would see the LORD's goodness in the land of the living!

~ Wait and hope for and expect the LORD; be brave and of good courage and let your heart be stout and enduring. Yes, wait for and hope for and expect the LORD." Amen.

What an honor to have God's Love letter in my own home and heart! Reading this over and over, I find added strength. It is my prayer and I know the Holy Spirit is praying for me too. I am grateful for the blessed assurance of my place in the family of God. I am secure. I am free. I am drawn to a closer walk with Jesus Christ. So, bless the LORD with me! You are His precious treasure and His plans are wonderful and eternal. Do you believe this? Tell Him.

God bless and keep you in the matchless name of Jesus Christ, amen.

Abundance is...seeking His face
