May the Lord continue to be their counsel and refuge as I shared with several of them.
Psalm 16:8 emphasizes one's intentional focus on God as a source of His Presence granting protection.
To focus on a particular verse I use Bible Gateway with the verse citation.
At that point, I have access to read the full chapter for context or select the verse in all English translation. For me, that adds depth to my focus.
Over 50 versions are listed. If I don't understand the abbreviation, I can click on it and the source is shown.
Today's jottings showed me positional differences as well as outcomes which have become today's "Friday Focus"!
I am the one doing the setting---continually (AMP & NASB),
always keeping eyes on the LORD (NIV)--sounds like focus.
The word for LORD in all caps, Jehovah (ASV, YLT), ADONAI (CJB, TLV) & Yahweh (NOG)
Why keep the LORD set before me at my right hand?
So I am not shaken. (ESV, NASB +) I am not moved. (18 versions) I will not slide. (GNV) I will not be defeated. (ERV) I will not be upset. I will not stumble or fall. (TLB) I will not be hurt. (ICB)
I will be protected from fear. (CEV) I will stand firm. (ISV) I will always be secure. (NIRV)
FOCUS! FOCUS!! FOCUS!!!
