Some years seem to come with themes.
This years is Psalm 3: especially verse 5 and 6.
"Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths."
I did not pick the theme, it picked me.
It has followed me around in good times, and been my companion, my friend, through the tough.
It is my constant pondering, to do something with all thine heart. It means you have no room, no heart space for anything else. All of yourself, everything you've got is dedicated to that one thing. Trust in the Lord.
Oh my soul, place all of thy trust in the Lord, in His faithfulness, goodness, and promises. Place no hope in your own ability, but in strength from above.
When i look into the future, it is not known to me, but I know the one to whom it is known. I place all my trust, everything I've got in Him.
I love this because it's true. And as often as I hear that verse, each time it's exactly what I needed to hear. Of course I needed it tonight. :)

And now, I'm crying...but it is a good cry. Your acknowledgment of Him and your following in His paths have been a blessing to me. Love.
ReplyDeleteSharon- i think it may be one of those reminders we will need as long as we are earthbound.
ReplyDeleteMom- Love you too.
