Psalm 31:1

1In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness.

This verse is very special to me, because it happens to be my life verse. I chose this verse because, it is a prayer that I can use day by day. This is a simple verse that has a straight forward message. The first part talks about putting my trust in the Lord. There are different definitions of trust, but this particular trust is having confidence in the Lord to take care of you. The second part of the verse is saying never to be ashamed and that trusting in the Lord will help you with that. It means that no matter what you do or whatever happens to you, if you trust in the Lord, you should never be ashamed of what you did or are doing. The last part of the verse is a little harder to understand and put into words. What I believe it is saying is for the Lord to deliver me to Him, because he is righteous, but that is my interpretation of what it is saying and I will leave it up to you the reader of this blog to have your own interpretation.
