In Malawi we hit our 100 day mark… only 100 days left until the end of the race. My team began doing a Psalm countdown, reading from Psalm 100 all the way down to 1. Now the 4 week mark has come and gone. There are only 27 days left, 27 days until this crazy adventure ends and another begins. I encourage you to join with as we finish out the race by reading a Psalm each day. Take the time to not only read the passages, but also pray about and mediate on God’s word. He continues to reveal something new to me… a word of encouragement, a challenge, a new promise to claim. I know He can do the same for you.
whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the stronghold of my life-
of whom shall I be afraid?
to devour my flesh, [a]
when my enemies and my foes attack me,
they will stumble and fall.
though war break out against me,
even then will I be confident.
this is what I seek:
that I may dwell in the house of the LORD
all the days of my life,
to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD
and to seek him in his temple.
5 For in the day of trouble
he will keep me safe in his dwelling;
he will hide me in the shelter of his tabernacle
and set me high upon a rock.
6 Then my head will be exalted
above the enemies who surround me;
at his tabernacle will I sacrifice with shouts of joy;
I will sing and make music to the LORD.
7 Hear my voice when I call, O LORD;
be merciful to me and answer me.
8 My heart says of you, “Seek his face!”
Your face, LORD, I will seek.
9 Do not hide your face from me,
do not turn your servant away in anger;
you have been my helper.
Do not reject me or forsake me,
O God my Savior.
10 Though my father and mother forsake me,
the LORD will receive me.
11 Teach me your way, O LORD;
lead me in a straight path
because of my oppressors.
12 Do not turn me over to the desire of my foes,
for false witnesses rise up against me,
breathing out violence.
13 I am still confident of this:
I will see the goodness of the LORD
in the land of the living.
14 Wait for the LORD;
be strong and take heart
and wait for the LORD.
