Journal 3-16-14

Psalm 7:8 – The Lord judges the peoples, judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness and according to the integrity that is in me.
Psalm 1 – Blessed is the man who delights in the Law of the Lord and on His Law meditates day and night. . . In all that he does he prospers.
Psalm 92:12-15 – The righteous flourish like the palm tree and grow like a cedar in Lebanon. They are planted in the house of the Lord. They flourish in the courts of our God. They still bear fruit in old age. They are ever full of sap and green to declare that the Lord is upright! He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.
Romans 1:16-18 – For I am not ashamed of the Gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith, as it is written, “the righteous shall live by faith.”

            I’m not bragging, but I am boasting in God. If you could see inside my head and what God is doing in my life you would see and understand how much truth these four scriptures speak. God is amazing and He is all powerful. He can do things in amazing time and with master craftsmanship. The way things come together amazes me. I feel Him moving in my life and things are going to take off soon. You guys ever wondered why people who trust and follow God seem to have the world. They are happy, secure, confident, patient, etc. seems like everything they touch turns to gold and they prosper. You ever just want what they have? Good, family, contentedness, love, laughter, prosperity. There is something different about people who “live for God truly”. You ever notice how they shine? They light up a room! It’s because they have God all over them. It’s because God has given them all that they have and all that they are because they have been obedient to Him! Sometime in their life they decided to read the Bible, they started to pray to God, they began slowly turning from sin, and they decided to surround themselves with people doing the same! “Blessed is the man who delights in the law…” “In all that he does he prospers…” (Psalm 1). Those words came out of the very first Psalm…HELLO! Can it not get any clearer? What are you waiting on? Why are we so hard headed? We want what is good but we have to put in the work to get those blessings that God has for us. We are not going to get it by sitting on the couch eating zuu zuu’s and wham wham’s watching Doctor Phil and Oprah!

Prayer: Father God, help me to live my life today in a way that will be pleasing to you and may I be found not guilty of sin in all areas of my life so that I may glorify you and your kingdom. Amen
