I have set the Lord continually before me.
Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
Therefore, my heart is glad and my glory rejoices. —Psalm 16:8
Therefore, my heart is glad and my glory rejoices. —Psalm 16:8
My friend Muriel Cook once told me that, when they were raising teenagers, they had a principle in their home: The morning music belongs to the Lord. I’ve never forgotten that. I find it good for any home, or any heart, teenagers present or not.
Yesterday our friend Carris Smith sent me a song for encouragement. I hope it encourages you too. (Carris told me I did not have to listen to all of it, since it gets repetitive.) But I did listen all the way and was encouraged. I find that music is a good way to “set the Lord before me.” Especially when I don’t want to be shaken, which things like social media and the news and my own thoughts can so easily do. May you be encouraged.

Yesterday another friend sent more encouragement my way, saying the Lord told her to pray for us right then. Which she did in a short prayer to my email which encouraged my heart. She was following a nudge from God.
In this time when many are not often seeing others due to the pandemic, there are still many ways for us to encourage one another. I would love to hear how you have been encouraged, or a song that is meaningful to you for encouragement. Or how you are intentionally setting the Lord continually before you.
With love and prayers,
