Where is Your Delight?

"Delight yourself in the LORD
       and he will give you the desires of your heart.
Commit your way to the LORD;
       trust in him and he will do this:
 He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn,
       the justice of your cause like the noonday sun.
 Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him..."
(Psalm 37:4-7)

Upside Down

I was reading in my devotional last night, and I stopped and reread this three or four times...

"How sad it is when we make plans and decisions, and then go to God and ask Him to bless them?"

Yet, that is how I often to do. I live my life, making plans and decisions, and then afterwards I go to God, not to ask what He wants, but to ask Him to bless what I want.

The problem is, I have it upside down.

The Bible tells us that in various places,

"Woe to those who go to great depths to hide their plans from the LORD...You turn things upside down, as if the potter were thought to be like the clay! Shall what is formed say to him who formed it, "He did not make me"? Can the pot say of the potter, "He knows nothing"?" (Isaiah 29:15-16)

Lord, turn me right-side up today.

Be Compelled

“For Christ's love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.”

We Moved!

Welcome to the new site. Do you like it?

I have added tabs with different (dangerously) beautiful themes. If you know of any people or causes, please comment, and I will add them.

Also, I am going to add a page for prayer requests. Please comment or email me your prayer requests, and I will publish them on that page. Then, go to the page and pray :)

Any other ideas?
