Holy God,
Good morning. I love You. Thank You.
Mm, yes. Thank You that we get to love You.
(8:59 a.m.)
Reading in Your Word. Being reminded of Your continued presence. Finding this page on the internet:
Following references over to The Life Recovery Bible, my heart swells as I read, “Thirst for God BIBLE READING: Psalm 27:1-6 [STEP 11] Most of us initially turn to God for the help He can give us, namely His power to free us from the power of our dependency. We may be surprised to find that, as time passes, we turn to God out of a desire to be near Him. As we discover how wonderful He is and how much He loves us, we draw near to Him because of the joy we experience in His presence.”
Amen! How true that is for me!
Thank You Father. Thank You for the opportunity of exploring Your Word. Of resting and settling in with Your Truth.
Illustrated Bible Handbook describes Psalm 27 as “A prayer of confidence in God, on whose person David’s whole being is concentrated.” Thank You that we get to follow suit.
Mm yes, Dear Father. Verse 4, “The one thing I ask of the LORD - the thing I seek most - is to live in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, delighting in the LORD’s perfecting and meditating in His Temple.” Yes!
Back again to The Life Recovery Bible. “David found great joy by improving his conscious contact with God [STEP 11]. God is always there, but we are not always aware of His presence. Our relationship with God usually begins with His meeting our desperate needs. But when we begin to focus on getting to know God as an end in itself, we will discover that He will give us what we have always desired - the joy of being close to our loving Creator. Then we will see that He can be trusted with every area of our life.”
Oh bless You Father. Praise You. Thank You. Continue Your work in teaching me to love You more.
Use us this day as You know is best. Loving You more. Thank You. I love You. Amen.
