Delighting

I like rainy days, hot cups of coffee, and slower music. Those three things just go together hand in hand so well. I've been very selfish as of late, and I would just really like to apologize if that's come across in the blog. I never intended for that to happen. Because of that I just wanted to share something that the Lord has been teaching me. Also, in the greek, Lord means absolute master. Even though I try to live my own life sometimes, the Lord is the absolute master of my life, and I really want Him to be.

Psalm 37: He will NOT forsake His saints.

v.4 --"Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart."

Do I delight/take pleasure in the Lord? Is He my source of joy?
What are my desires?  -good education  -good job  -good relationships  -being a light and witness to others

v.5--"Commit your way to the Lord, trust in Him, and He WILL act."

-Committing means "handing over and walking away." When we commit, we have given the matter up to more capable hands, and God will act.

Don't fret, don't worry, don't stress
Do trust, do commit, do wait/be still

v. 23-- "The steps of a man are established by the Lord, when he delights in His way."

There it is again! Delighting in the Lord. Really, what could be more delightful then Jesus? Absolutely nothing. That's something I find myself learning over and over again. I'm rather forgetful, really (:

v. 24--"..though he fall, he shall not be cast headlong, for the Lord upholds his hand."

I will stumble, I will fall, but that doesn't mean I'm done for. It is such an encouragement to me, to know that the Master Creator of the Universe, and Lord over all, holds my hand. When you're holding someone's hand, and you stumble, they are there to help you up back on your feet. (2 Corinthians 4:8-9)
