“I LOVE THE LORD!”

 Psalm 116:1-4                    (ESV)

“I LOVE THE LORD”

    [1] “I LOVE THE LORD”, because HE has heard

        my voice and my pleas for mercy. 

    [2] Because HE inclined HIS EAR to me,

        therefore I will call on HIM as long as I live. 

    [3] The snares of death encompassed me;

        the pangs of Sheol laid hold on me;

        I suffered distress and anguish. 

    [4] Then I called on the name of the LORD:

        “O LORD, I pray, deliver my soul!”

There are times when I awake and there are “notifications” on my phone trying to tell me that something is more important than hearing from THE ONE WHO CREATED this unworthy servant!  From my life experiences, NOTHING is more important than what the WORDS of Isaiah 42:5 states!  “Thus says GOD, the LORD, WHO CREATED the heavens and stretched them out, WHO who spread out the earth and what come from it, WHO GIVES BREATH who gives breath to the people on it and SPIRIT to those who walk in it:”

Apparently there are MANY people who want us to BELIEVE that their perspective is the most important thing for us to consider as we proceed through our journey in “this world”!  But “I LOVE THE LORD” and it needs to be THE FIRST THING that enters my mind, and the LAST THING I permit before I go to sleep!  “I LOVE THE LORD”!!!
