Grace Said.: Psalms 16

Some weeks ago, there was an incident that caused me to become worried and anxious. More accurately, this incident had yet to happen back then, and furthermore, I was the one that executed the whole process.

So I was tossing in bed, trying to get some shut-eye but to no avail. Then I thought about the bible, and was hoping that I would find some verse that will pop right up and speak to me in that moment in time.

Scarily, my iPhone bible led me to Psalms 16:

1. Keep me safe, O God, for in you I take refuge.
2. I said to the LORD, "You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing."

3. As for the saints who are in the land, they are the glorious ones in whom is all my delight.
4. The sorrows of those will increase who run after other gods. I will not pour out their libations of blood or take up their names on my lips.

5. LORD, you have assigned me my portion and my cup; you have made my lot secure.
6. The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance.

7. I will praise the LORD, who counsels me; even at night my heart instructs me.
8. I have set the LORD always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.

See I have no idea why my iPhone bible showed me that verse. When I just turned it on, there I was, staring at Psalms 16 and feeling so protected, so secure, so peaceful.

Indeed His promises are so real and so good. For that, I am assured of His everlasting faithfulness.
