THe Lord is good, all the time.

I guess this Psalm came at the right time. Every verse is so ministering. These few days, though there had been a feeling nagging at me to read the bible, spend time with God, fellowship with Him... I stubbornly did everything else but that. Other than church on Sunday and Cg on Tuesday, I had not touched the bible for about a week plus already.

While I was walking home from work today, it occured to me that it was just months ago when I ask myself why people stay away from God when they are miserable when they should be focusing on Him? My DGL put it rightly when she said that spending time with the Lord is a privilege, not a chore. Therefore, at the end of the day, why do we think that watching telly is more relaxing than reading the bible? In my case, why do I think being online will make me feel better than reading the bible. I have been feeling slightly rebellious in that way, just doing everything else but spend time with God.

I am glad He put the desire in my heart to start reading His word again, prolly thanks to the prayers of people. I am going to pick myself up and live life to the fullest again.



Psalm 16

You Will Not Abandon My Soul
A Miktam of David.

16:1 Preserve me, O God, for in you I take refuge.
2 I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord;I have no good apart from you.”
3 As for the saints in the land, they are the excellent ones,in whom is all my delight.
4 The sorrows of those who run after another god shall multiply;their drink offerings of blood I will not pour outor take their names on my lips.
5 The Lord is my chosen portion and my cup;you hold my lot.
6 The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance.
7 I bless the Lord who gives me counsel;in the night also my heart instructs me.
8 I have set the Lord always before me;because he is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken.
9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my whole being rejoices;my flesh also dwells secure.
10 For you will not abandon my soul to Sheol,or let your holy one see corruption.
11 You make known to me the path of life;in your presence there is fullness of joy;at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

Amen.
