Psalm 7:9-10
Oh, let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end,
But establish the just;
For the righteous God tests the hearts and minds.
My defense is of God,
Who saves the upright in heart.

Dear Abba, as I watch the powerful waves of the ocean crash against earth's shore, or I stand in an alpine meadow gazing at majestic mountain peaks piercing through white clouds into pristine blue skies; I am reminded, My Abba created this for me and He is an awesome God. 
 
When I contemplate the delicate balance required to maintain earth's ecosystems and the enormous amount of magnetic pull needed to keep the earth in place; I am reminded, My Abba is an awesome God!
 
Regardless what wicked device comes against me, I know You are my defense and will save the upright in heart. I place my life in Your hands assured I stand established in Your extravagant love. 
 
You have prepared me well as You walked me through the tests and lessons in life. Though he huffs and puffs, the wolf cannot blow my house down because it's established on the solid Rock of my salvation. The winds of adversity may blow and the seas of tumultuous circumstances may rage, but I stand because You are my place of refuge. 
 
Those things I see with my natural eye are temporal and subject to change by Your sovereign intervention. I choose to place my sight on those things that are unseen because they reside in the eternal realm of Your Glory. They remain sure and unshakeable, steady and unmovable. 
 
As I keep my eyes fixed on Your awesomeness, nothing this world throws my way can shake my faith. I lift my eyes to the hills - for where does my help come? My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth. 
Psalm 121:1-2 - Amen!
