Back in the Saddle

Hey, folks! Sorry I have been so silent lately. Jet lag was really a killer this time. I'm still getting up early but trying to use that time wisely. Since I last wrote I have had some incredible quiet times with the Lord. In spite of that, I have still chosen on occasion NOT to meet with him. Why do I do that? Why do I let other things get in the way of meeting with him. When I know he wants to have a relationship with me and at times reveals himself so sweetly to me - why do I still wake up some mornings and choose NOT to meet with him? This morning I spent some time pondering that question with him. It was the day to read Psalm 78. Go there and read it and you will be amazed. The children of Israel were just like me! God had delivered them in some miraculous ways. He had parted the sea for them to escape. He had fed them manna from heaven when there was nothing else to eat. He had revealed himself in ways like a pillar of fire! Wow! And yet, they still - from time to time - chose NOT to meet with him.

Praise God his mercies are new every morning! Today is a new day. And I have chosen to start it with him.

Thank you, Lord, for having patience with me as you had with the chidlren of Israel!
