Psalm 19:7-11... the meaning of these verses..... There is law that revives us, makes us wise, gives joy to our heart, gives light to the eyes, warns us, and rewards us. They are a light to our path in life.
I don't care if you even paid for my vacation or shopping spree. I wouldn't trade His love, and the fullness of His presence for anything!!! It's more precious than diamonds, and more costly than gold.
Since I became a widow, I praise Him for the person He is turning me into. Even though i don't have much, I care so much about those in need. Other widows, those in other countries who don't even have clean water to drink. People who can't afford their hospital bills for their sick child with cancer. The hungry and homeless. A number of things that I wish I could hit Lotto. But I don't even play.
God started this change in me a while ago. He has blessed me with all my needs, and even gives me some of my wants, which aren't many. I find so much joy in giving.
Recently He really taught me a lesson, and His lessons are never easy. I recently did a few upgrades in my home. Truly, they were long overdue. I didn't get the best of the best. I did what was in my budget. But I started looking at things that weren't done as they should be. I mean, no one would really notice but me.
Long story short. I got sick and wasn't feeling well for a few weeks. Maybe close to a month. I am one who is always full of energy, and I truly love to work out, but I had no energy. Yet, I still was looking at those stupid minor things and letting them bother me.
I was feeling a little better the other day so I was on my way to the gym. At a red light I got rammed in the back. I got out of my car with the gentleman who hit me, and we couldn't believe there was no damage, at least that's what i thought. I let him go.
All I can say is, only God. I did notice a day later after letting him go, that I did have a crack in my bumper. But it was minor. I heard God loud and clear. "What is more important to you my child? You have been looking at so many things that are stealing your joy. They are minor, and your health is everything. Which means more to you?"
I can tell you that I have laid all those minor stupid things down at his feet. I have my peace and joy back. I am also feeling the energy that He knows I love.
Who can weigh the value of knowing Him? Who can judge the worth of Who He is? You won't even be able to count the blessings of loving Him.
He truly is more precious than anything you can have, or anywhere you can go. Nothing you desire compares to Him. He truly wants to give us wisdom and understanding in the things we go through. But we have to search for it as hidden treasure, Proverbs 2: 4-6
Thank you Lord for Your gentle lessons in this life. What a good good Father You are.
