Every so often, I will take a psalm and rewrite it in my own words. I find it helpful to put it in my own "language." I did that this morning with Psalm 16. Father, I find my safety and security in you so please place your hand of protection over me. The only thing of any value in my life is you. You are worth more than the collection of all earthly treasurers. Lord, I find absolute delight in those who follow your precepts and seek to live righteously. On the other side of that coin are those who reject you and consciously turn their back on you. It saddens me that they have chosen to reject your beautiful promises. Father, you are my daily sustenance. You are the author of my past, the God in my present, and you are weaving together my future. You have set boundaries for my life. They are not restrictions, but protections to help me walk in the path you have for me. The boundaries are not something to fight against, but are a beautiful reminder of the unique plan you have ...
