HE has been teaching me so much over the past several weeks that it is overwhelming! HIS steadfast love and grace consumes me and at times I don't know where to start to share with you what HE is teaching me. I feel as though I could spend everyday here sharing with you guys, but then who would head out to Palenque to take what I have learned and put it into practice?
So today I am reading in Acts, yes still in Acts but it has been so good especially as I seek HIS Will for HIS plan for Palenque. But I am also reading a Psalm each day and today 103 completely captivated me and I wanted to share it with you!
One of my favorite old hymns that we B's sing is Bless the Lrd O My Soul and all that is within me bless His Holy Name! All that is within us...do you get that? Everything that we have inside of us (thoughts, desires, passions, past, etc) may all of that stuff bless His Name and I stop. I have only read the first verse and already I am not able to go on without complete repentance on my knees and pleas for HIS forgiveness of my ugliness! But just like the Amazing Dad that HE is, I read:
"Forget not all His benefits, Who forgives all your iniquity, Who heals your diseases, Who redeems your life from the pit, Who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy, Who satisfies you with good!"
Are you kidding me, Dad? You are All-Sufficient and know exactly what I need! I needed to be reminded of Your Goodness and just how much You love me! And it only gets better as you keep reading...
"The Lrd is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. He does not deal with us according to our sins, nor repay us according to our iniquities."
Wow, how can you not praise a Dad who is all of those things and so much more! His Word says that we must pry for strength to comprehend but HE is that big! And we are that small because as you keep reading you read:
"For He knows our frame, He remembers that we are dust." Oh if only I would remember that same thing, that I am here today and gone tomorrow just like the dust! That I would make the most of every moment that HE has given me today and stop living in the past or looking to the future! My days are like grass in the eyes of My Father and I know how much attention I give to grass! HE is the Lrd of Lrds and yet HE knows me...a little speck of dust and longs to be My Lrd!
So this is a little bit of where I am today with HIM and in HIS Words! Read Psalm 103 and see what HE says to you through His Life Changing Words! Bless the Lrd, all His Works in all places of His dominion! May we first start with us and truly allow HIM to have dominion over our lives as we trust Him for every little thing and stop depending on ourselves for what we truly cannot do! This is my pryr today for all of us!
Be Our Glory, Abba today! Break us until YOU are all that the world sees!
