Our Walk with God.....

Pray: Lord, you know what is on my plate for today…please give me the grace to accomplish all these things to your honor and glory. Also Lord please give me the words to speak and guide my fingers on this keyboard that I may be able to pass along the information that you want me to pass along. For my church family, oh Father, sometimes you just completely blow me away with the loving family that you have blessed me with, what amazing brothers and sisters I have. Help me to be a contributing member of your family, help me to do the things that you want me to do and to help to expand on our family; so that more might hear your word and know that You are truth, the way, and the life! Psalm 37:5-7 (KJV)

5 Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. 6 And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday. 7 Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.

Say: Okay, have you all read this…..Okay, now have you read this…if you have read any of the before and after verses in this chapter, you will see that David is speaking to his personal relationship with God. And isn’t that exactly what each and every one of us wants? In this personal relationship that David has with God, David is speaking to the way that we should behave in our relationship with the Lord. The chapter starts out: Fret not thyself because of…..and then we are given a list of wrong doing people! Don’t fret, don’t get excited about, and don’t worry! Do you know, how many people waist so much of their lives worrying? Ugh! Not me! Some time back in one of my blogs I mentioned about “Mind over matter” something my earthly father taught me…which I have changed, with God’s help, to God over mind! Let God rule your mind!

Mean: Okay, let’s look at the first few words of our verse. “Commit thy way unto the Lord.” This doesn’t say commit some of your ways, it implies to commit everything…no holding back! And in the very beginning of the chapter, “Fret not.” If you commit all to our Father, you will have NO reason to fret! No reason to worry! God is there all the time and He will protect you from everything, as you are walking with Him. Now that doesn’t mean no trials…so please don’t think that I am saying clear sailing, I am not, but the way that you choose (Remember God gave us free will.) to handle things says a lot about your relationship and your walk with the Lord. Do you remember the bumper sticker that used to be popular?

“Be careful how you live your life.

You may be the only Bible some people ever read!”

I really think that was a great bumper sticker, and one that I would like to convey to more people. Isn’t God awesome? Sometimes I just feel the Daddy’s presence so strongly!

Apply: So how do we apply this scripture to our lives? Hmm! Well, I talk to God; He is the most important man in my life. And when there are problems or difficulties, I talk to Him about them and let Him handle them. Some times I may be a little impatient, But God, will always do what is best and if I need to do something He will provide the words for me to speak, or the actions for me to do, all I have to do is ask Him.

So spend some time seeking our Father, you may be amazed at the outcome!
