I will cry to God Most High,

To God Who accomplishes

all things for me.

Psalms 57:2

That verse reached me today. This morning, I was reading my Bible and struggling through some feelings and thoughts when I saw those words in the midst of reading from a Daily Bible Reading Plan.

I am not at my desk bec my computer isn't working (still) so I don't have my usual note pads, index cards, or a ready stack of paper to grab. Instead, I found an envelope and scribbled this verse on both sides.

Many years ago, I read about memorizing Scripture and something stuck with me from one of the "how to's" I saw:

Write down the verse in black and use all capitals.

I am a color girl and I love using all sizes of pens from the finest available to thick, dramatic lines. I love ink... blue, purple, bright red, orange, pink and on it goes. I scribble all of these all over and on my journals, notecards, and whatever it is I'm writing on with the exception of memorizing Scripture.

I find myself writing clearly and in a Sharpie shade of black from the Sharpie extra fine to the regular Sharpie marker. I don't always cap... just depends on the day.

Anyway... I wanted to keep going back to this verse. It spoke to me so much.

Everything I need, want, or long to accomplish . . . I pray to be the Lord's Will. He knows best for me and reading this showed me that He also accomplishes all things for me. What an amazing truth!

A beloved friend commented today and it has run through my head all through the day. She said that God has provided all I need. I don't recall the exact wording but the message I got was that no matter what things appear to be. . . every need I have is met by the Savior. Any other message is not of the Lord.

Isn't this simple knowledge such a mighty truth? I carry it in my heart.

I hope anyone reading this will think on Psalm 57:2 and what a shining thing it holds in the wings of hope. It isn't about what you can, will or should accomplish. He will accomplish all things for you.
