Psalm 6:7-9

7My eyes grow weak with sorrow; they fail because of all my foes.

8Away from me, all you who do evil, for the Lord has  heard my weeping.

9The Lord has heard my cry for mercy; the Lord accepts my prayer.

Hello my name is DESTRUCTION

Psalm 5:9-12

9Not a word from their mouth can be trusted their heart is filled with destruction. Their throat is an open grave; with their tongue they speak deceit.
10Declare them guilty, O God! Let their intrigues be their downfall. Banish them for their many sins, for they have rebelled against you.
11But let all wo take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in you.
12For surely, O Lord, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield.

Psalm 4

1Answer me when I call to you, O my righteous God. Give me relief from distress; be merciful to me and hear my prayer.

My Favorite Excerpt From Verse 4

Psalm 4:4 "In your anger do not sin; when you are on your beds, search your hearts and be silent."

What does it really mean to search your heart?

How often do you spend time in silence searching your heart?

How would your day be affected if you were to search your heart every morning before you got out of bed?

Strike all my enemies on the jaw; break the teeth of the wicked.

Psalm 3

A psalm of David. When he fled from his son Absalom.

1O Lord, how many are my foes! How many rise up against me!

2Many are saying of me, "God will not deliver him."

3But you are a shield around me, O Lord; you bestow glory on me and lift up my head.

4To the Lord I cry aloud, and he answers me from his holy hill.

5I lie down and sleep; I wake again, because the Lord sustains me. 

6I will not fear the tens of thousands drawn up against me on every side.

7Arise, O Lord! Deliver me, O my God! Strike all my enemies on the jaw; break the teeth of the wicked.

8From the Lord comes deliverance. May your blessing be on your people.

Psalm 2

Psalm 2:7-12

7I will proclaim the decree of the Lord: He said to me, "You are my Son; today I have become your Father.
8Ask of me, and I will make the nations your inheritance, the ends of the earth your possession.
9You will rule them with an iron scepter; you will dash them to pieces like pottery."
10Therefore, you kings, be wise; be warned, you rulers of the earth.
11Serve the Lord with fear and rejoice with trembling.
12Kiss the Son, lest he be angry and you be destroyed in your way, for his wrath can flare up in a moment. Blessed are all who take refuge in him.
my favorite part of 12, "Blessed are all who take refuge in him."
Refuge: a shelter from danger or hardship

[How reassuring to know that we kind find shelter in the arms of our heavenly Father. Thank you Lord.]

in the beginning..

this girl, who had a passion for art and the Holy Spirit, had a dream that she would be able to share her thoughts with anyone who wanted to hear or wanted to see.

She found herself struggling to find time to read the Bible, but after a challenge she made herself, she decided that one of the ways she was going to dive into the Bible was to draw what she read. She was going to reciprocate her thoughts and ideas on paper. She began to think that it would be cool if others could see what she was seeing.

She began with Psalm 1 and she was going to read a book of Psalms everyday and draw, capture or write out the image that came to her mind.

1Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers.

2But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night.

3He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers.

4Not so the wicked! They are like chaff that blows away.

5Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgement not sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

6For the Lord watches over the way of 

the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.

[She was excited to continue this novel journey in Psalms and exploring her thoughts through art.]
