I Shall Not Be Moved
“I have set the Lord always before
me; because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved.” – Psalm 16:8 (NKJV)
Last night
was so hard God…Why were we separated and categorized in that game? I feel like it introduced barriers that
shouldn’t be there. I’m find with where
I was at, but I felt like we were being compared to on another based on our
actions. I can’t be comparing people, and I now feel like I’m watching
people! God! Why?
Why am I setting this before you, as more of a focus? David says in Psalm 16:8, “I have set the Lord always before me;
because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved.” Lord Jesus, I’m not only being moved right
now, I’M BEING SHAKEN!! I’m sorry Lord for the thing I’ve made it, when it’s
all about You, Jesus. For the thing I’ve
made it…IBS…God this is only between You and me, I realize that now. I thought I understood Lord, but I am a
fool. My fleshly wisdom is nothing. I’m sorry for making this so mechanical God –
I don’t know why I did! Jesus, I feel so
much like David right now – He has said word for word what I’m feeling!
Psalm
27:7-9, “7Hear, O Lord, when I
cry with my voice! Have mercy also upon
me, and answer me. 8When You
said, ‘“Seek My face,”’ my heart said to You, ‘“Your face, Lord, I will
seek.”’ 9Do 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.”
Psalm 25:
16-18, “16Turn Yourself to me,
and have mercy on me, for I am desolate and afflicted. 17The troubles of my heart have
enlarged; bring me out of my distresses!
18Look on my affliction and my pain, and forgive all my
sins.”
Psalm
26:2, “2Examine me, O Lord,
and prove me; try my mind and my heart.”
Psalm
25:4-5, “4Show me Your ways, O
Lord; teach me Your paths. 5Lead
me in Your truth and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation; on You I
wait all the day.”
Thank you
Lord for who You are! You reveal Yourself mysteriously!
This Is
My Commitment
Psalm 31:1
& 5, “1IN You. O Lord, I
put my trust; let me never be ashamed…5Into Your hand I commit my
spirit; You have redeemed me, O Lord God of truth.”
Psalm
18:1-3, “1I WILL love You, O
Lord, my strength. 2 The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my
deliverer; My God, my strength, in whom I will trust; My shield and the horn of
my salvation, my stronghold. 3
I will call upon the Lord, who is worth to be praised; So shall I be saved from
my enemies.”
Psalm
27:1-3, “1The 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.”
Hallelujah!!
God is so good to me! My heart shall
praise Him in the words of David and Paul on a personal level…
(Psalm) “5Why are you
cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? (Romans) “…in all these things ‘I’ am more
than a conquerer through Him who loved ‘me.’
For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor
principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height
nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate ‘me’ from the
love of God which is in Christ Jesus ‘my’ Lord.” (Psalms) “Hope in God, for I shall yet praise
Him for the help of His countenance.”
– Psalm 42:5, Romans 8:37-39)
The Lord
is releasing me from my anxieties, worries, and self. There has been a war – me against God –
tearing me apart. I surrender…I’m broken
and tired…Here is what’s left of my life.
I am willing. All I can say is
Psalm 28:7, “The Lord is my strength and
my shield; my heart trusted in Him, and I am helped; therefore my heart greatly
rejoices, and with my song I will praise Him.” Let this be my life.
Psalm 16:8, “I have
set the LORD always before me; because He is at my right hand
I SHALL
NOT BE MOVED.”
Application: I am going to fast, starting
today, Thursday, February 4, 2016, and devote my meal times to prayer and time
with the Lord until Sunday, February 7, 2016.
The Lord will feed me, He is my strength.
God, You
are my axis which I pivot on, the ultimate reward that I am running towards, you
are the armor of my life, the very breathe that is life.
In all
honesty I am scared of these IBS’s, and I don’t know why am I afraid of
failing, when there is nothing to fail? I
always seek the approval of my actions and work from men instead of working for
the God? I just realized how stupid I
have been. Yeah I knew the Lord was there but I never let Him have
control. 2013 shooting sports, I came
into the competition quite literally thinking I was the best in the project,
thinking I was the initial When the Lord is my central focus, nothing can
separate me from Him.
I am being
moved in everything in my life right now, which to means I don’t have Him as
the very core of my being…God is moving…God take these away from me, I can’t do
it anymore.
“1 I WILL love You, O
Lord, my strength. 2 The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my
deliverer; My God, my strength, in whom I will trust; My shield and the horn of
my salvation, my stronghold. 3
I will call upon the Lord, who is worth to be praised; So shall I be saved from
my enemies.” –
Psalm 18:1-3 (NKJV)
