I really enjoyed the Lord the past weekend at a conference in New York, and I realize how God has a purpose for us. We are chosen vessels to contain Him in order to express and represent Him. I am so glad for His eternal purpose, and seeing the recent developments in Israel, I am reminded that we need to grow in Him each day, watching and overcoming so that we would be ready for Him for His coming, which seems closer than ever. I gave myself to the Lord this past weekend, and I know that if we have sin or are tangled up in the pleasures or affairs of the world, this consecration will be weakened. I am therefore very glad that we can overcome satan by the blood of the Lamb! Praise and thanks to the Lord! May we be the generation of the Lord's coming back.
I think this psalm is really sweet. The Lord will never ever abandon us in any situation. He's always with us and watching out for us. Yet he is not just a Protector, but a loving Father as well, and He really does give life. From reading this psalm, I just really love the Father for all He has supplied us, and I sincerely pray for more faith in Him.
I really do feel a joy in the Lord. Whenever I truly just turn to Him and not worry about anything else, I just feel glad. These days I'm don't get to sleep till midnight or so, so sometimes I get really tired, but if I turn to the Lord and pray, or just even think about Him, I not only am able to go on, but I feel, like the verse says, a "joy that is unspeakable." The Bible is true; even in the midst of worries and trials the Lord is still so good and enjoyable.
Sometimes I know I am afraid to come before the Lord because I don't believe I am worthy. I would then try to go through the troubles I have by myself, but that is apart from God and all I do is tire myself out.
I get reminded through this verse that the Lord has died for me and made me right before God! So I should come with boldness before His throne for His mercy and grace, because I am His child! I am glad that there is such a loving God, and these few weeks I've been trying come again and to Him, whether it was for getting up enough courage to speak to someone, or for peace within when I lost my books. The Lord was always there with me, and that is what was most enjoyable of all.
I am glad that the Bible is truly God's word, being spoken from God and borne by the Holy Spirit. I have been really enjoying the word lately, especially as I was so busy, because I come to appreciate it more when I actually have time to read it. And every word is true--part of the special book that God has personally written to us. Praise the Lord!
I have been extremely busy for the past two weeks, even being pushed almost to my limit. Sometimes I am so tired I can't keep my eyes open. But I can still go on through all the hustle and bustle and worries because the Lord's grace is sufficient. He always gives me enough grace to go on. And I am glad that in my weakness I am growing in Him, being perfected.
