Remember your promise to me;

it is my only hope.

Your promise revives me;

it comforts me in all my troubles.

Psalm 119:49-50

(Galveston, TX)

The LORD frustrates the plans of the nations

and thwarts all their schemes.

But the LORD’s plans stand firm forever;

his intentions can never be shaken.

What joy for the nation whose God is the LORD,

whose people he has chosen as his inheritance.

Psalm 33:10-12

For the word of the LORD holds true,

and we can trust everything he does.

He loves whatever is just and good;

the unfailing love of the LORD fills the earth.

Psalm 33:4-5

The LORD is my strength and shield.

I trust him with all my heart.

He helps me,

and my heart is filled with joy.

I burst out in songs of thanksgiving.

Psalm 28:7

My heart has heard you say,

“Come and talk with me.”

And my heart responds,

“LORD, I am coming.”

Psalm 27:8

…I come to your altar,

O LORD,

singing a song of thanksgiving 

and tell of all your wonders.

Now I stand on solid ground,

and I will publicly praise the LORD.

Psalm 26:6-7, 12

So the LORD must wait for you to come to him

so he can show you his love and compassion.

For the LORD is a faithful God.

Blessed are those who wait for his help.

Isaiah 30:18

A single day in your courts

is better than a thousand 

anywhere else!

I would rather be a gatekeeper in the

house of my God

than live the good life in the homes

of the wicked.

For the LORD God is our sun and

our shield.

He gives us grace and glory.

The LORD will withhold no good thing

from those who do what is right.

O LORD of Heaven’s Armies,

what joy for those who trust in you.

Psalm 84:10-12

Because God’s children are human beings—

made of flesh and blood—

the Son also became flesh and blood.

For only as a human being could he die,

and only by dying could he break the power of the devil,

who had the power of death.

Only in this way could he set free

all who have lived their lives as slaves

to the fear of dying.

Hebrews 2:14-15

I love you,

LORD;

you are my strength.

The LORD is my rock,

my fortress,

and my savior;

my God is my rock, 

in whom I find protection.

He is my shield,

the power that saves me,

and my place of safety.

Psalm 18:1-2
