My morning verse today really spoke to me. Usually when I pick my verse, its from something I read that morning in my studies. But oddly, today was different. The verses I read were very meaningful, but I felt led to flip through the book of Psalms. And I came across this highlighted verse.
As I pray this scripture, my heart jumps with joy. I jump with joy with the possibility of reaching that stage in my life. To literally give praise to Him and declare it all day long. I am praying that my life will be so full of Christ, that its all that I can think of. I mean, imagine that lifestyle!! I personally would love to hang around someone with this way of life. But what is funny, is that it is achievable in all of us to live this way. God is so loving, so gracious, so infinite that we can marvel about it through eternity. But we are so dumb, I just worry about the government and how we can pay the bills.
What happened to just sitting down and being in awe of the creation around us? What happened to finding people crying in the morning during the Bible study, at just how amazing God is in their life?
I know God is still as amazing as when he first started! We just forget to wake up and smell the coffee. Let this serve as a reminder to set a time in your life every day, to marvel at his works.
Not only is it so joyful to declare His beauty all day, it does something else for us too. It takes away the sin in our life. The devil can't distract us into our dull life if we are so focused on the conquering King of Kings. Its like what I heard from Adrian Rogers when it comes to sinful thoughts. If I were to tell you to not think of an elephant. You most likely will have an elephant in your mind, its just natural. You see, that is not the way in going about battling sin. Its not "I will not do this sin, I must not do that sin". Its rather, focusing on what Jesus is. And through focusing on Jesus, there is no room to focus on anything else. and when you focus on Jesus, it becomes automatic to serve and preach the gospel.
Be encouraged family, God is in control. Lets get to caught up in his majesty that we can't shut up about Him.
