Psalm 24:3-6 Who may ascend the hill of the Lord? Who may stand in his holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not lift up his soul to an idol or swear by what is false. He will receive blessing from the Lord and vindication from God his Saviour. Such is the generation of those who seek him, who seek your face, O God of Jacob.
Reflection:
I’m sitting here at my desk, fingers on the keys thinking, how can I write while in this place of being shut-down. God gave me a dream about it last week and I’ve tried avoiding it by keep doing what I normally do as I spend time with him every day, but somehow I still find myself here. What gives me comfort is that I’ve not, not done what the Lord has asked, so I know my heart is right with the Lord which is the most important thing. I know that I’m still grieving my father’s death, and I’m feeling a heaviness that seems to lift a little when I’m at home by myself. We’ve been so busy with baseball/softball games that I haven’t had my usual quiet time during the day which I’ve really needed. I’m still planning to record this week. This morning in my prayer time with the Lord I sensed him saying the word, resiliency, and Nehemiah 8:10 talks about the Joy of the Lord being our strength, so this is my goal for this week -soaking in the Lords presence and having a better balance about soaking and doing. If I’d have my way I wouldn’t miss any opportunity to be filled by coming, because with every encounter, joy fills my cup until the next time…
