Psalm 121
A song of ascents.
1 I lift up my eyes to the hills—
where does my help come from?
2 My help comes from the LORD,
the Maker of heaven and earth.

3 He will not let your foot slip—
he who watches over you will not slumber;

4 indeed, he who watches over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.

5 The LORD watches over you—
the LORD is your shade at your right hand;

6 the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.

7 The LORD will keep you from all harm—
he will watch over your life;

8 the LORD will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore.

During Bible study tonight Beth Moore was talking about Praise Music and how is can be such a wonderful thing and a painful thing. She said she does not sing a Praise song unless she really means what she is singing. For instance You are my All and All. Is he really your All in All...
Blessed be the name of the Lord you give and take away give and take a way my heart will choose to say Blessed be your name. Oh I remember a time a week after I had Jana. I heard that song on the radio and wanted to scream and say I do not want to choose Blessed be your name. You took something from me that I can never have back. But I couldn't with tears streaming down my face hitting my steering wheel i sang from deep in my soul My Heart will choose to say Blessed be your name. I felt like it was God's way of saying ENOUGH... You have been mad at me I have broad shoulders but enough is enough. You need to get on with life. Yes you will have your ups and downs but I am your Rock and YOU WILL get through this. I still can not help but get teary when I hear that song.

It also confirmed why I only want my Kids to listen to Praise Music. Have you ever thought of how easy it is to memorize a song? I bet for most people it is easier to remember a song than most Bible verses. If I am going to fill their hearts and souls with words I want it to be worshiping God. Not some Guy or girl. I want them to have words to cling to through trying times.
