Letting The Scriptures Speak
(Shared by Sis. Carolyn)
The word of God is given to us for guidance and direction, enlightening and inspiring our souls. God's word gives us encouragement, strength, peace, healing, and so much more. If we are faithful and truly believe the word of God
(the scriptures), we will stay connected with the Lord. Reading the word of God, allows us to feel the presence of His closeness and goodness. Praying before the word of God is read, will allow God
to provide us with a revelation.
Our own Sister Carolyn has been
given such a gift from God when it comes to the scriptures, she will provide us with the
words of God, from the word of God, to enlighten
our walk with Jesus.

Psalm 27: 1-6, 11-14 (NLT)
1) The LORD is my light and my salvation-so why should I be afraid? The LORD protects me from danger- so why should I tremble?
2) When evil people come to destroy me, when my enemies and foe's attack me they will stumble and fall.
3) Though a mighty army surround me , my heart will know no fear. Even if they attack me, I remain confident.
4) The one thing I ask of the LORD, the thing I seek most, is to
live in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, delighting in the
LORD's perfections and meditating in His temple.
5) For He will conceal me there when troubles come; He will hide me
in His sanctuary. He will place me out of reach out of reach on a high
rock.
6) Then I will hold my head high, above all my enemies who surround
me. At His Tabernacle I will offer sacrifices with shouts of joy, sing
and praising the Lord with music.
11) Teach me how to live , O LORD. Lead me along a path of honesty, for my enemies are waiting for me to fall.
12) Do not let me fall into their hands. For they accuse me of things I have never done and breathe out violence against me.
13) Yet I am confident that I will see the LORD's goodness while I am here in the land of the living.
14) Wait patiently for the LORD. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the LORD.
