"I have set the LORD always before me;
Because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved."
Psalm 16:8
When I cause Him to be all that fills and satisfies me, His presence encompasses my being just as Psalm 139 shares. When I invite His Spirit to saturate my soul, and I feast on His Word, trials just don’t have the effect they used to. I am no longer overcome, overwhelmed, undone, or shaken.
This is not the theory of Christianity, but the living, tangible reality of it and the irresistible truth of it. When I set the steady gaze of my heart and affections ever and only upon Him, He is all that I need. I am changed, and He will take care of the rest.
