B90Days; In Pursuit of God


MomsToolbox
David had a song for every occasion.
I wonder how often he sang them or if they were one timers.
I wonder if I should write songs about all my screw-ups, or my epic fails, or my winter depression cycle.
There they are: my fears of being overcome right there on the page: put to music for all to hear.
Nothing hidden.
My heart exposed. My flesh revealed. My sins uncovered.
It wouldn't get much play time on the radio that's for sure.
But maybe a reality TV show....

I am thinking that David was called a man after God's heart for a reason and the more I read through the Psalms the more I see a pattern:

He did not hide his sin.
He took responsibility for his actions.
He repented.
He accepted the consequences.
He did not take God's glory for himself.
With all His power and might he still declared: Salvation belongs to our God !
He worshiped.
He feared. He cried out to God.
He was depressed. He cried out.
Under attack. He cried out.
HE CRIED OUT TO GOD.
He sought God on every side and found Him.
He was in pursuit of God, of the very heart of God and He was satisfied.

We can do no better than that.
Today I am after the heart of God, I hope you'll join me!

"Acknowledge and take to heart this day 
that the Lord is God in heaven above 
and on the earth below. 
There is no other."
~~Deuteronomy 4:39~~

As I lay here and reflect, my body is wracked with pain.
Answers are few and far between.
Explanations not forthcoming.

With everything in me I proclaim the character of my God:

HE is who HE says HE is.

The name of the LORD is a strong tower; 
the righteous run to it and are safe.
~~ Proverbs 18:10 ~~

While I am hostage to this pain....
seemingly captive and contained...
I read and agree with John Piper in The Dangerous Duty of Delight....

"God is more glorified in us, 
when we are most satisfied in Him."

I gaze into the face of God in His word....and DECLARE :

THERE IS NO GOD LIKE JEHOVAH
i.am.satisfied.
