Today

Today, I will follow my Saviour, no matter what.  Today, I will lift up my eyes to the hills from whence comes my help.  Today, I will refuse to let Satan win the battle.  Today, I will trust in God's precious promises.  Today, I will not cease to love God.  Today, I will repeat God's grace words over and over and over again.  Today, I will force myself to listen to the still quiet voice that calls my name.  Today, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear NO EVIL.  Today, God's rod and His staff comfort me.  Today, inspite of the pain, I will cling to Him.  Today, I will rest on His shoulder.  Today.  It is God's day.  I will find my comfort there in His arms.
