Psalm 14 (The Message)
2 GOD sticks his head out of heaven.
He looks around.
He's looking for someone not stupid—
one man, even, God-expectant,
just one God-ready woman.
Lord, I pray that today, you would find me. Find me standing. Find me praying. Find me believing. Find me listening. Find me in need. I know you test me. I want to be found uncompromisingly righteous. Thank you Jesus for the cross. Through your death and resurrection I can live a righteous life. God, help me to walk through the situations of life with integrity- upholding honor for You. If not for grace, where would I be? I desire to know You in the deepest possible way. I'm having a hard time believing how You see me. You see me through the eyes of love. You want to love me. I am of value to you. Please help me to see myself as one of great value and worth. Help me to receive Your love. I am prone to not accept anything from anyone. I am prone to work for things- to earn it. It's much harder to receive something I know I didnt work for or deserve. Drown me in Your love God. Help me calloused heart to receive. My pride keeps me far from You when I wont accept the truth about who You say I am. Though I feel I am in the waiting room of unanswered prayers- help me to know everything is going to be o.k. I know that in Your Word I can build my Faith. Help me Lord, for I am in need of You. I desire to be invited to Your table to dine and talk. I'm in need. I love You Lord.
The Lord tests and proves the [unyieldingly] righteous. For the Lord is [rigidly] righteous, He loves righteous deeds; the upright shall behold His face, or He beholds the upright. Ps.11 [New Amplified Version)
Psalm 11 (The Message)
A David Psalm
1-3 I've already run for dear life straight to the arms of GOD.
So why would I run away now
when you say,
"Run to the mountains; the evil
bows are bent, the wicked arrows
Aimed to shoot under cover of darkness
at every heart open to God.
The bottom's dropped out of the country;
good people don't have a chance"?
4-6 But GOD hasn't moved to the mountains;
his holy address hasn't changed.
He's in charge, as always, his eyes
taking everything in, his eyelids
Unblinking, examining Adam's unruly brood
inside and out, not missing a thing.
He tests the good and the bad alike;
if anyone cheats, God's outraged.
Fail the test and you're out,
out in a hail of firestones,
Drinking from a canteen
filled with hot desert wind.
7 GOD's business is putting things right;
he loves getting the lines straight,
Setting us straight. Once we're standing tall,
we can look him straight in the eye.
