Hiding Myself in Christ
Psalm 119:10-14
I seek you with all my heart; do not let me stray from your commands. I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you. Praise be to you, Lord; teach me your decrees. With my lips I recount all the laws that come from your mouth. I rejoice in following your statutes as one rejoices in great riches. I meditate on your precepts and consider your ways.
I live by hiding myself in Christ. I nourish myself by seeking His Word, building myself up in His truth. I follow His instruction. I am defined by the knowledge of His character towards me. I think about His goodness. I trust His goodness will transform my life. All my choices are based on what is written in His Word. I follow Him. I speak of Him, remembering all that He’s done for me; I know He is faithful. I sing to Him, and I receive His own songs over me. I rest in the shade of His love. I run to Him always when I’m hurt, so that He can reshape me. I run to Him always when I need to redirect my thoughts. I receive His kind discipline so that I stay on His pathway. I hide myself in Christ.

He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless. Even youths will become weak and tired, and young men will fall in exhaustion. But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.
I find my way in Him.
