Drive My Soul

What drives your soul and keeps you in the right path?

There is one who wants to drive us into the wrong path.

The enemy, the devil, Satan, comes to steal, kill, destroy.

We are not ignorant of his schemes.

Or are we?

So much fear around these days.

Fear about job loss.

Fear about losing retirement savings.

Things will get worse.

But there's an opportunity as the world comes crashing down

for people to reach out to the Rock of our salvation.

Jesus.

The One who came that we might have life, more abundant life.

He's our firm foundation.

Face it, we're needy.

We can not make it without Him.

Lord, help Your people to not be easily shaken.

We need to repent of our idols.

The things that we put in His rightful first place.

God resists the proud, but He gives grace to the humble.

Lord, we humble ourselves.

Work in our hearts.

May this be the song of our heart...

The 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?

When the wicked,

even mine enemies and my foes,

came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.

Though an host should encamp against me,

my heart shall not fear:

though war should rise against me,

in this will I be confident.

One thing have I desired of the Lord,

that will I seek after;

that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life,

to behold the beauty of the Lord,

and to enquire in his temple.

For in the time of trouble

he shall hide me in his pavilion:

in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me;

he shall set me up upon a rock.

And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me:

therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy;

I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the Lord.

Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice:

have mercy also upon me, and answer me.

When thou said,

Seek ye my face;

my heart said unto thee,

Thy face, Lord, will I seek.

Hide not thy face far from me;

put not thy servant away in anger:

thou hast been my help;

leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.

When my father and my mother forsake me,

then the Lord will take me up.

Teach me thy way, O Lord,

and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies.

Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies:

for false witnesses are risen up against me,

and such as breathe out cruelty.

I had fainted,

unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.

Wait on the Lord: be of good courage,

and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord. Psalm 27
