I have been flooded with Scripture tonight! God is truly awesome - as I have sat in awe for several minutes at His blessing me with more of Him, I received so much more than I actually sought after.

As I was working on a special project of mine that deals with something for which I have prayed almost six years now, I was looking for Proverbs 16:9, thinking it was in Psalms somewhere.  (I've already been working on this mess of knowing that "it's there somewhere," yet not being able to find it...still working.)

So in my flipping through Psalms, thinking I knew the location on the page to find the underlined verse I gleaned these other verses:

86:11 "Teach me Your way, O Lord, that I may walk in Your truth; unite my heart to fear Your name."

73:16, 17 "But when I thought how to understand this, it seemed to me a wearisome task, until I went into the sanctuary of God; then I discerned their end."

 73:23-26 "Nevertheless, I am continually with You; You hold my right hand.  You guide me with Your counsel, and afterward you will receive me to glory.  Whom have I in heaven but You? And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides You.  My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever."

71:14 "But I will hope continually and will praise You yet more and more."

71:5 "For You, O Lord, are my Hope, my Trust, O Lord, from my youth."

65:5-8 "By awesome deeds You answer us with righteousness, O God of our salvation, the Hope of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest seas; the One Who by His strength established the mountains, being girded with might; Who stills the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, the tumult of the peoples, so that those who dwell at the ends of the earth are in awe at Your signs.  You make the going out of the morning and the evening to shout for joy."

62:5, 8 "For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence, for my hope is from Him.  Trust in Him at all times, O people; pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us."

55:22 "Cast your burden on the Lord and He will sustain you; He will never permit the righteous to be moved."

 52:8-9 "But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God.  I trust in the steadfast love of God forever and ever.  I will thank You forever, because You have done it.  I will wait for Your name, for it is good, in the presence of the godly."

51:6 "Behold, You delight in truth in the inward being, and You teach me wisdom in the secret heart."

 40:16 "But may all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; may those who love Your salvation say continually 'Great is the Lord!'"

40:8 "'I delight to do Your will, O my God; Your law is within my heart.'"

40:4 "Blessed is the man who makes the Lord his Trust"

40:1 "I waited patiently for the Lord; He inclined to me and heart my cry."

 39:7 "'And now, O Lord, for what do I wait? My hope is in You.'"

37:3-7 "Trust in the Lord, and do good; dwell in the land and befriend faithfulness.  Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart.  Commit your way to the Lord; trust in Him, and he will act.  He will bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noonday.  Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for Him."

 33:20-22 "Our soul waits for the Lord; He is our Help and our Shield.  For our heart is glad in Him, because we trust in His holy name.  Let Your steadfast love, O Lord, be upon us, even as we hope in You."

33:11 "The counsel of the Lord stands forever, the plans of His heart to all generations."

32:8 "I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you." 

31:24 "Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who wait for the Lord!"

 31:14-15 "But I trust in You, O Lord; I say, 'You are my God.'  My times are in Your hand."

27:14 "Wait for the Lord; be strong and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!"

 27:8 "You have said 'Seek my face.'  My heart says to You, 'Your face, Lord, do I seek.'"

26:1-3 "Vindicate me, O Lord, for I have walked in integrity, and I have trusted in the Lord without wavering.  Prove me, O Lord, and try me; test my heart and my mind.  For Your steadfast love is before my eyes, and I walk in Your faithfulness."

 25:21 "May integrity and uprightness preserve me, for I wait for You."

25:12 "Who is the man who fears the Lord? Him will He instruct in the way that He should choose."

 25:9-10 "He leads the humble in what is right, and teaches the humble His way.  All the paths of the Lord are steadfast love and faithfulness, for those who keep His covenant and His testimonies."

25:4-5 "Make me to know Your ways, O Lord; teach me Your paths.  Lead me in Your truth and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation; for You I wait all the day long."

 18:30 "This God—His way is perfect, the Word of the Lord proves true; He is a Shield for all those who take refuge in Him."

8:3-4 "When I look at Your heavens, the works of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have set in place, what is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of man that You care for him?"

 4:3 "But know that the Lord has set apart the godly for Himself; the Lord hears when I call to Him."

Finally, I found the verse I first sought "The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps." (Prov. 16:9) Oh the stories I desire to write about publicly - one day I may be able to, but not yet. :)


Those of you who may know about *what it is I write* know the significance of these verses at this time.

God is faithful—I was totally blown away by how much He gave me to dwell on in the midst of my attempts to honor Him, it is He Who will glorify Himself.  Should I make myself available, He will glorify Himself through me and *this*.

May it be so, Lord, for the sake of Your Kingdom.  Your will be done, not mine.
