Father, You are holy, and Lord over all. At times I feel so small when I think of Your greatness. I'm amazed that You take the time to listen to me. You make me feel important and so loved, and I thank You. I praise You for all that You have done in my life. Amen.
(From the "Light for My Path" series)

1 In the LORD I take refuge.
How then can you say to me:
"Flee like a bird to your mountain.
2 For look, the wicked bend their bows;
they set their arrows against the strings
to shoot from the shadows at the upright in heart.
3 When the foundations are being destroyed,
what can the righteous do?"
4 The LORD is in his holy temple; the LORD is on his heavenly throne.
He observes the sons of men; his eyes examine them.
5 The LORD examines the righteous,
but the wicked and those who love violence his soul hates.
6 On the wicked he will rain fiery coals and burning sulfur;
a scorching wind will be their lot.
7 For the LORD is righteous, he loves justice;
upright men will see his face.
Psalm 11:1-7 New International Version
