5:42 AM
A new month, to us, in which to serve and live. All I know is that You will be glorified one way or another. Father, You are glorified in Heaven by every being around You, and rightly so. You created everything that exists, and You provide the "life support" for all things living…including me! Of course, I have no merit of my own, no claims I can make of my exploits or holiness; everything I have is from You. Everything. And I thank You for all You have given me: salvation; life; family; ministry; health; Your Word; and so much more. You give life meaning, purpose and love.
Psalm 1
The contrast between the happy man and the wicked man is stark. And even though the differences seem muddled sometimes on earth, there is certainly another dimension, the spiritual one, that is at play. The happy man meditates on Your Word and grows -- You even see that he prospers--at least in spirit, and often in other ways. The wicked are never happy. I see them have their temporary moments of satisfaction when their evil deeds are done, but lasting, deep down in the soul happiness eludes them.
Thank You, Lord, for Your Word and honor of knowing You personally. Other than Your love for me -- which in itself is a mystery -- I can't think of any other reason for the Holy God to have anything to do with me…much less sacrificing Himself for my sins. Help show my gratitude by serving You. I am second.
