Devotion\u00a0 Psalm 27:4-5\u00a0 Always Ever Closer to You Lord.\u00a0 I see and hear you as you keep me near<\/strong><\/p>\n

Psalm 27:4-5<\/strong> \u201cOne thing\u00a0I ask from the\u00a0Lord,
\nthis only do I seek:
\nthat I may dwell in the house of the\u00a0Lord
\nall the days of my life,
\nto gaze on the beauty of the\u00a0Lord
\nand to seek him in his temple.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

For in the day of trouble<\/em>
\nhe will keep me safe\u00a0in his dwelling;
\nhe will hide me\u00a0in the shelter of his sacred tent
\nand set me high upon a rock.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Because I see Your wondrous hand is with me, I am confident in all things concerning me and life.\u00a0 Indeed I see the attacks of the enemy fall impotent beside me and before me. Haven\u2019t I called out to You Lord and therefore Your answer is known to me when I see it.\u00a0 I confidently look for what I asked Him for.\u00a0 When a child asks His father for a red bicycle and then He sees one in his room, He knows who gave him the bike.\u00a0 The child remembers his request to his father and expectantly looks for it and recognizes it.\u00a0 He lives with his father and knows that his father desires good things for him. \u00a0When I see the enemy\u2019s shackle laying unused upon the ground, I know the reason.\u00a0 Did I not call out to You Lord about my need and You Lord has not let the evil plans of the enemy succeed.\u00a0 The inefficacy of the enemy\u2019s plans is manifest and I rejoice in the hand of God upon me and before me.\u00a0 So I seek to live my life in the house of the Lord.\u00a0 As my eyes behold You I am aware of your love and good will to me and to all who love You.\u00a0 I will not be afraid because I know You are near, You are with me.\u00a0 Because I dwell with You and see Your ways I know You.\u00a0 Because I live with You my Lord my God,\u00a0my\u00a0eyes and ears study you\u00a0so I am certain of who You are.\u00a0\u00a0 I am certain of your love and goodness to me.\u00a0 I know\u00a0You\u00a0Lord God and how\u00a0You\u00a0speak to me.\u00a0\u00a0You\u00a0whom I live with I know Your\u00a0voice and\u00a0Your\u00a0manner of speaking to me.\u00a0 Lord God please keep me close and give me residence in Your home.\u00a0 Living with You my God I know You Lord God.\u00a0 In Your presence, my heart is warm and is safe and calm. Lord God, my father who loves me, I see you and so I know you.\u00a0 I have followed your call to me which led me to You, and so I have found and know you.\u00a0 I know who You are.\u00a0 You keep me close that I may know you and be blessed by you.\u00a0 I am not an orphan that does not know His Father, I know you my Lord, my God, my Father.\u00a0 Yes, I seek to always dwell in Your house that I might know you every day in increasing measure. Lord I seek you because you first sought me.\u00a0 The glory of you is a light and comfort to me. Praise you Lord God.\u00a0 I come to you and behold the perfection of your ways. Father, I behold you and love the beauty of you! To know You Lord God is to love you and have confidence in all my ways because I know that You love me.\u00a0 Thank you my Savior and Lord, may I always dwell with You! I am unafraid only because you are with me!\u00a0 I am weak but you are strong.\u00a0 I will not be afraid my protector and lover of my soul.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
