Tuesday, June 12, 2007: i want to be firmly rooted...
1 Blessed is the man
Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly,
Nor stands in the path of sinners,
Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;
2 But His delight is in the law of the Lord,
And in His law he meditates day and night.
3 He shall be like a
tree Planted by the
rivers of water,
That brings forth its
fruit in its
season, Whose
leaf also shall not wither;
And whatever he does shall prosper.
4 The ungodly are not so,
But are like the chaff which the
wind drives away.
did this psalm for QT yesterday and i was reflecting once again on how much of me followed God for my own sake instead of out of loving God. probably 70%-30% i think. believing that if i didnt choose to believe God i would end up in hell. if i didnt seek God, God wouldnt bless me.
i'm starting to believe that alot of things i do is for my own selfish desires; and so much i want it to be out of a love for God and His law and His people. i want it, but i cant reach it, and then i give up, and then i start all over again.
reading this psalm again helped me to understand where i went wrong:
his delight is in the law of the Lord.perhaps thats where i should start rebuilding my foundation.
a shout of praise.
