a dancing light

The scripture that is bold is what really stood out to me tonight. 

Protect me, God,

because I trust you.

I said to the Lord, “You are my Lord. 

Every good thing I have comes from

you.”

As for the godly people in the world,

they are the wonderful ones I enjoy.

But those who turn to idols will have much pain. 

I will not offer blood to those idols

or even speak their names.

No, the Lord is all I need.

He takes care of me.

My share in life has been pleasant;

my part has been beautiful.

I praise the Lord because he advises me. 

Even at night, I feel his leading.

I keep the Lord before me always.

Because he is close by my side,

I will not be hurt.

So I rejoice and am glad.

Even my body has hope,

because you will not leave me in the grave.

You will not let your holy one rot.

You will teach me how to live a holy life.

Being with you will fill me with joy;

at your right hand I will find pleasure

forever.

- Psalm 16

This passage has possibly just become my favorite. I feel so much comfort and joy from this passage. His mercies are new every morning; I praise Him for this! :)
