You MAY have noticed that I haven't been posting this past week or so. Well, there have been many reasons. One reason is that I wanted to "step back" and think about where I want this blog to go. WHAT is my purpose, my goal in starting up this blog??? Well, I just want you to know that I've been taking LOTS of notes, have LOTS of ideas and am really quite excited.
In our Sunday School class, we've been studying I & II Samuel (specifically, the life of David). It never ceases to amaze me how much I MISSED or had FORGOTTEN since the last time I studied this part of the Bible. Anyway, something I seemed to have forgotten to do was to take EVERYTHING to God BEFORE acting (especially something that can be extremely time consuming!) In David's life, whenever he went to God FIRST (before ANY undertaking), he was blessed, and had clear direction. However, whenever he acted without going to God, he was decidedly NOT blessed. He sinned, and boy did he ever. It is such an encouragement to me that David was called "a man after God's own heart." He loved God, but yet, was still a man; fallible, sinful, and yet mindful of the merciful Creator. It has been so wonderful and exciting to read about David and then read the Psalms David wrote. What an amazing story of our loving, yet just God.
So, if you are in the midst of a "horrible pit, miry clay" kind of week/day, go read Psalm 40 and be encouraged. He will put a NEW SONG in your mouth. Many will hear it and KNOW that HE IS GOD!
Keep coming back, and be watching for some exciting stuff! All in God's timing though!
Be Blessed!

Thanks for this reminder. I have been doing a lot of daily bible reading in Psalms and your thoughts bring new light.
