vs. 13  I’d be destroyed without God!  “in the land of the living” = now.  God’s blessings are not only in our “eternal life”, some are meant for our present, earthly life.

I need to trust that  God’s plans and path for me are good, filled with His loving intentions toward me.  I need to KNOW all my present trials and hardships are amazingly purposed to “work together for good”.  I need to believe in God’s goodness !! and evidence my belief by being content with God’s choices.  I need to live out my submission to God and my having placed God as sovereign of my life by being content with God’s purposes and plans for me.  *This should be an easy rest because I’m assured of God’s Goodness to me. *Remember, I asked Him to show me HIS way in vs. 11!

vs. 10  God will never forsake me (Heb. 13:5).  My own mother & father may forsake me, but never God.

vs. 11  He will continue to teach me and mature me to bring me closer to Him. – Remember, I desire to be “the house of the Lord.”

“Light my path and make thy way (Thy will) plain because my enemies are wiley and purpose to confound my relationship with You.”

The destruction of my access to the LORD is the enemy’s goal – separate and conquer.

vs. 12  Therefore, Lord, please confound the enemy’s plans…and the enemy has many on his side, hurting and tirelessly working to undermine me.     I need You, LORD!!
