My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.
Psalm 34:2
I wanted a life where I could boast about my accomplishments, but God knew that was not a good path to go down. He knew I would end up serving “striving” and how ugly and destructive that would become. He’s showing me that doing His Word is what humility is all about. I must become humble in order to submit myself to His ways, and in order to be set free by doing His Truth. And all of us who want His ways developed in our lives want to hear more about His ways so we can become more glad. Isn’t that wonderful?
Do I want the trap of doing my ways and being proud about it or do I want to humble myself and follow Christ in order to be glad? Easy choice, right?
The Lord bless you and keep you
The Lord make His face to shine on you and be gracious unto you
The Lord lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace
And I put the Name of the God of the children of Israel on you and bless you in Jesus’ Name, the Name that is ABOVE every other name.
Thanking and praising God in all things,
Mark
