January 4th + 5th.

I get pretty freaked out in the middle of the night sometimes, so this Psalms is definitely going on my wall! :
"I will lie down and sleep in peace,
     for you alone, O Lord,
     make me dwell in safety."

Psalms 4:8

So good!!

Very rarely do I actually think about what it means to suffer for Christ, but when I do, I get in this weird confusion between wanting to but being to scared to ask God to let me, or completly giving him my life to do as he pleases with it, when that happens, I think I just need to go back and read todays devotion:

"Blessed are the poor in spirit,
     for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are those who mourn,
     for they will be comforted.
Blessed are the meek,
     for they will inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
     for they will be filled.
Blessed are those who are merciful,
     for they will be shown mercy.
Blessed are those who are poor in heart,
     for they will see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers,
     for they will be called sons of God.
Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,
     for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted prophets who were before you."

Matthew 5:3-12

I really just liked this whole sections, heres a few more:

"You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on it's stand and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see you good deeds and praise your Father in heaven."

Matthew 5:14-16
