Talking to Myself

Talking to Myself

Sometimes I start to whisper

To myself of things I know

Of truths found in the Bible

Like Jesus loves me so

This helps me to remember

And not to sit and mope

It turns my gaze on Jesus

For in Him is all my hope

I tell myself “God covers thee

Under Almighty wings

Surely He delivers thee

Sweet joy and peace He brings”

Then faith begins to strengthen

Love sets my heart aglow

Because I hear the Saviour

His voice these words echo

“My child, do not be afraid

Of problems down below

My angels will watch over you

My salvation I will show”

“Call upon me at any time

I listen for thy cry

Speak my Name in humble prayer

Your needs I satisfy”

Today I am telling myself the truth

Not heeding Satan’s lies

For Jesus is near—My Present Help

To my trust His voice replies

Based on Psalm 91

               In the beginning of the chapter the Psalmist says, “I will say of the LORD…”. By the end of the chapter, the LORD, Himself, was talking to the Psalmist. Sometimes we speak lies to ourselves—this is giving place to the Devil and causing doubt and fear. Learn to speak God’s Word to yourself like the Psalmist! God’s Word produces faith and love. Notice that God didn’t take the trouble away until first He was with us in trouble. Do we call upon Him? He promises to answer—to deliver--to honour--to satisfy!
