"I HAVE SET THE LORD ALWAYS BEFORE ME"
"I have set the Lord always before me; because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved." Psalm 16:8 NKJV
Say these words aloud several times and let them roll around in your mind: "I have set the Lord always before me." Take some time to imagine how this might actually be experienced in your life. What would it be like to wake up with God on your mind? What would it feel like at night if you were aware of Him as you fell asleep? What would your conversations be like with other people if God were the unseen third party present? What would work or school be like if you were continually aware of God and were communicating with Him as you sat in your office or at your desk, asking for His help and guidance, not carrying the burden by yourself? After all, this is His promise to you: "Give your burdens to the Lord, and he will take care of you. He will not permit the godly to slip and fall' (Psalm 55:22 NLT). Reflect on the idea that the Lord is at your "right hand." In Scripture, the right hand is considered the hand of power and the one that does the work. Now reflect on these words: "I will not be shaken" (Psalm 16:8 NLT). Picture yourself receiving bad news or facing opposition; picture someone important who doesn't like you. Picture your work going badly--but it doesn't shake you. Why? Because God has given you supernatural peace. Isn't this the life you want? Then pray, "God, this is the life I choose; show me what I need to do so that it may be so."
