Blessing

Psalms 32:6 For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him.

7Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.

8I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.

9Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee.

10Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in the LORD, mercy shall compass him about.

11Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.

This passage of scripture was a blessing to me and I thought I would share.

He desires to lead, guide and direct us with His eye (in a peaceful way)(vs.8), he doesn't want us to have no understanding (like the horse and mule) and be lead with a bit and bridle. He wants us to get to know Him, like Jer. 9:23, 24 says (this is one of my favorites)

23Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches:

24But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the LORD.

vs. 10, then we can choose whether we are to be surrounded with mercy or sorrow, am I trusting God or am I having MY way.

vs. 11, if we have an upright heart, we can be glad and rejoice in the Lord!!
