Psalm 28:7
"The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped. My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to him in song."
This verse was lived out physically and emotionally in my life yesterday, and I didn't even know it until 8:30 this morning. Some days just seem to never end. But somehow, everything fell into perfect place and harmony despite my negative thinking and bad attitude. The Lord was by far my strength (hence I am alive to write this now!) and, in all ways, my shield. See, the beauty of God's love for us, is that we don't always have to see it or know that it is there for it to be at work in our lives. If you asked me last night how my day had gone, I would have told you that death sounded a tad more pleasant. Yet, lo and behold, Someone was at work protecting me and providing for me behind my back (not that I'm complaining). God showed me something new about Himself yesterday. He showed me that despite what I am saying and despite how I am feeling, He can see through that straight to my heart. And yesterday, when God looked inside, He saw that "my heart trusts in him" and therefore "I (was) helped." It is refreshing to know that one bad day won't undo days, weeks, and months of seeking and pursuing the Lord. And it is even more refreshing to know that God can see the essence of my heart, even when I cannot.

I often think I can lie to myself AND God :)
It is amazing to me to see such wisdom...God has blessed you tremendously. Indeed, He alone sees the depths of our hearts. May He continue to shape them into Christlikeness!
