follow the Leader

Amazing.
Why have I not read Psalm 3 more intently before??
I'm SO glad Jamie and I are reading through the Psalms together.
I did something nerdy, and awesome. I recorded myself reading it and I hope I can listen to it enough to memorize it!!
SO good!!


I prefer ESV. I really just love the language.
I think my favorite parts are:

5)I lay down and slept;
I woke again, for the LORD sustained me.
6)I will not be afraid of many thousands of people
who have set themselves against me all around.

Verse 5 reminds me of when I was little and learned the prayer "Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep. If I should die before I wake, I pray the LORD my soul to keep" The Lord wakes me every single morning. 7680...that's how many days I have woken up. Amazing. How can we not recognize Him?!
Verse 6 really makes me think. Why am I so afraid of non-believers when I want to tell them about Him? They are EVERYWHERE around me, I shouldn't be afraid. What's the worse that can happen??...they'll kill me? Well, in that case I'm heading to Heaven. They could hurt my pride, or make fun of me I suppose... but I still have HIM. I will still wake up in the morning, and he will still bless me abundantly.

It's something I need to work on, definitely... but I have no reason not to share the good news. I mean, really, don't I want EVERYONE to join me in Heaven? I shouldn't be so selfish and keep the good news to myself.
Praise the Lord!!
