"Bless the LORD, o my soul;
And all that is within me, bless His holy Name!"
Psalm 103:1
How often are we more concerned with Your blessings than with Your character, my God. How i cling to You with tear stained clothes when my life falls apart and i weep at the feet of Your mercy. But when things are well... when things are well how empty are my words! Mouth expressing gratitude and heart distracted by lip-service. Since when was i more concerned about the words i say than about the God i worship? You the Lord God are good at all times, in very nature perfect and with out fault, abundantly just and Your mercy cannot be measured. Father You have been blessing me in all my life, let it not be a distraction to me. May i never forget where my blessings come from, whatsmore may i never forget You the Blesser of my life! Emptiness by the things unfullfilling, loneliness from the people distant to me, sadness from being in such a broken world... yet none of these things compares to the desparity of a life that does not know You. Jesus, be ever more real to me every day. Guide me down the path that is lost in You, where the world fades away into ever increasing darkness and the pleasures therein blur into unrecognizable figures. My God, be blessed by everthing that is within me and may i bring You delight, not in lip-service, but in loving thanks and a life poored out to You as a living sacrifice. Bless the LORD, O my soul, bless the LORD.
