Today I am thankful for: open windows and crisp breezes, kids earning ALL their tickets!, Chinese food for dinner, a clean kitchen, snuggly blankets, the pumpkin patch, hot tea, Darrin's natural and boundless curiosity, Madi's imagination!
Psalm 32:1-2 "Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. Blessed is the man to whom the Lord does not impute iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit."
David's psalms truly speak to my heart. There are times when I'm reading and think how great this man of God was, how pleasing he was in thought and action to the Lord. I think, I could never be like David! Then I stop and think of the times when David sinned. So maybe I could never be like him, but he was certainly like me! No matter how many times he messed up, he kept coming back to God seeking forgiveness and displaying a truly humbled and penitent heart. Praise God He loves us that much! He pours out His grace and I'm flooded with His peace. I'm really trying to be aware of my sin so that I might confess it and repent. Worry is a tough one, probably the hardest for me. With a little help from my new book on the matter, and a LOT of help from God, I want tot work towards genuinely letting go of worry!
Father God, You know how much I struggle with worry and self-control. I give them both to You now! Help me put complete trust in You and deny myself so that I might have MORE of You!
