"Because You've always stood up for me, I'm free to run and play. I hold on to you for dear life, and you hold me steady as a post." Psalm 63:7,8 (MSG)
This is a passage of scripture that I have read every morning for the past two weeks. This morning as I was meditating on it, I felt the Lord telling me to share it with you. I don't know about you, but I need this scripture daily as a reminder that I don't have to be bogged down with the things of this life...though often I am. Even this week I have been. I think that's why God has kept placing this scripture before me, saying "read it." "Again." "Again." "Again". Almost like He's saying, "read it until the truth of it is completely woven through you."
"Because You've always stood up for me, I'm free to run and play. I hold on to you for dear life, and you hold me steady as a post."
This doesn't mean that I can blatently run around sinning and God's going to stand up for me. It means that as long as I'm doing my best to follow hard after Him, that I can be free to run and play, knowing that He will take care of things...all things. As long as I do my part of being obedient to Him, and clinging to Him, He'll take care of the rest.
And so I read it again, "because You've always stood up for me, I'm free to run and play. I hold on to you for dear life, and you hold me steady as a post."
Jesus interceded for me, and for you, when He died on the cross. And today, everyday, all day long, He's still interceding for us. (Romans 8:34)
"Father, help me to not get bogged down with the things of this life, but to hold on to you for dear life, and to fully know the abundant life that you, Jesus, came to give. Help me to extinguish the fiery darts of the enemy. As I hold up the shield of faith, His darts will bounce off instead of piercing me. (Eph 6:16) Continue Lord to weave this scripture through the depths of me, into my innermost being as I read it again...because You've always stood up for me, I'm free to run and play. I hold on to you for dear life, and you hold me steady as a post."
