Today was not too pretty of a day. Monday night I took a 2hr nap and stayed up all night studying for an exam. I studied over hours studying the structure of bones and everything! To my dismay - the exam did not even have more then 10 questions about bone structures!!!! I basically studied for the wrong thing and BOMBED the exam. After my exam and class, I just slept through the day.
Guess what? God is still good. This is something I started to remind myself each day. God is good, God is good, God is good. The more I meditated on God's goodness I just felt a peace that surpasses all understanding consume my body.
I need to say I can definitely see God changing this dead heart of mine. It has progressively been crazier about him and his Kingdom.
Today, I did some reading of other passages but thought I would write about Psalms 144.
There are definitely alot of moments in my life where I have been thinking if this God is still really out there, (alot more than ever) which is why today's passage struck me a bit.
(vs 1-2) In alot of the psalms, David and or the Sons of Korah will always praise God even if their souls are downcast - maybe we need to remind ourselves of all the things God has done for us in the past. We really need to reminiscence on the goodness of God otherwise we will forget how active he has been in our lives. We need to remember the depth of our fall and how far he has brought us.
Today, my new friend Jared told me I have been a blessing for him in his faith. Which is what I really needed. Lately I have not seen or heard God work in my small group nor in the campus ministry. So thank you God for being God and sitting on your throne controlling everything!
(vs 3-4) It is easy to forget that each day God wants to and continues to sanctify us. It is easy to take the righteousness he gives us and accredits us with and tell ourselves we are good people. But we definitely have forgotten that our unrighteousness was imputed upon Jesus when he laid his life on the cross. The righteousness that we have right now is from him. It does rock my mind wondering why Jesus loves me.
Key verse (15): Blessed are the people of whom this is true; blessed are the people whose God is the LORD.
I honestly don't know where God is going to place me in the future. I am not the best student ever. I am not the smartest person ever. It is RIDONKCULOUS knowing that though it looks like I am "losing" in life - I know that it is going to be okay because he has promised that when I lose my life that is when I will find it. God has each and every moment of my life planned out for me. If I seek first the kingdom of God everything else will fall into place.
This is such an awesome reassurance he gives us.
No retreat, no regrets, no reserve. Christ is worth it.
AMEN
