Confession

"O God, we give glory to you all day long and constantly praise your name." Psalm 44:8 (NLT)...This verse is on our church sign. I put it there yesterday. Unlike church signs with clever or cute or convicting sayings, I have chosen to put God's word on display. I think we should let God's word speak for itself. That passage is easy to read but hard to live...God forgive me for giving Your glory (which I really can't) to lesser things. I blew it big time today. I do want my goal to be to give You glory all the time in everything I say, do, think, read, watch, etc. I was blindsided by "innocence" or so it seemed. Gotta remember daily to put on the full armor of God so I can withstand Satan's evil schemes.

 

Broken Record

I know I may sound like a broken record but I love living in the country. As I was walking today I saw at least 4 different kinds of wild flowers/weeds...there were mini daisy like flowers, purple clover, yellow daisy like flowers, purple something else kinda flowers. It was beautiful. In one part of the field there was a large patch of the mini daisies. I thought about how cool it would be to just lay down in the middle of them and look up in the sky and dream...good idea except for the tics and snakes and who knows what. I know I'm a wimp. I thought Alicia would and smiled. Then I thought David would have laid there and then written a psalm. Then again maybe he did do something like that..."The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it,  the world, and all who live in it; for he founded it on the seas and established it on the waters. Who may ascend the mountain of the Lord? Who may stand in his holy place? The one who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not trust in an idol or swear by a false god. They will receive blessing from the Lord and vindication from God their Savior. Such is the generation of those who seek him, who seek your face, God of Jacob. Lift up your heads, you gates; be lifted up, you ancient doors,  that the King of glory may come in. Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle. Lift up your heads, you gates; lift them up, you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in. Who is he, this King of glory? The Lord Almighty — he is the King of glory." Psalm 24. Just a thought.
