New design! I decided to switch things up a little bit at the one year mark of writing this blog. I decided I wanted a new background design. I hope you like it!
Our Daily Bread
What a great devotional! It reminds me of an 8 year old boy sitting in Sunday School class that thought "Hey, I need Jesus in my life. I am a sinner and need to ask for his forgiveness. " That boy was me. My life has never been the same. My life has been richer beyond compare with all the love I could ever understand showered on me, many times when I didn't even realize it.Praise God!
Have you accepted God's grace? If not, do so today!
Psalm Sunday
Psalm 17 is another one that talks a lot about what God should do to David's enemies! I guess he had a lot of them! hehehe I really like the first eight verses when he focuses on being right with God, with having a just plea and being tested of heart. I think I will incorporate some of that in some of my prayers. Very cool!
Psalm 17
A prayer of David.
1 Hear me, LORD, my plea is just;
listen to my cry.
Hear my prayer—
it does not rise from deceitful lips.
2 Let my vindication come from you;
may your eyes see what is right.
3 Though you probe my heart,
though you examine me at night and test me,
you will find that I have planned no evil;
my mouth has not transgressed.
4 Though people tried to bribe me,
I have kept myself from the ways of the violent
through what your lips have commanded.
5 My steps have held to your paths;
my feet have not stumbled.
6 I call on you, my God, for you will answer me;
turn your ear to me and hear my prayer.
7 Show me the wonders of your great love,
you who save by your right hand
those who take refuge in you from their foes.
8 Keep me as the apple of your eye;
hide me in the shadow of your wings
9 from the wicked who are out to destroy me,
from my mortal enemies who surround me.
10 They close up their callous hearts,
and their mouths speak with arrogance.
11 They have tracked me down, they now surround me,
with eyes alert, to throw me to the ground.
12 They are like a lion hungry for prey,
like a fierce lion crouching in cover.
13 Rise up, LORD, confront them, bring them down;
with your sword rescue me from the wicked.
14 By your hand save me from such people, LORD,
from those of this world whose reward is in this life.
May what you have stored up for the wicked fill their bellies;
may their children gorge themselves on it,
and may there be leftovers for their little ones.
15 As for me, I will be vindicated and will see your face;
when I awake, I will be satisfied with seeing your likeness.
Other Stuff
I had a nice afternoon of talking with friends and family on the phone. I road my recumbent bike for a HOUR! Yes, an HOUR! I watched the end of the Iron Man 2 movie while riding. I had to rest a while after finishing because my legs felt like rubber! I did some stretching. I am not sore this morning. I also did some light weights and some ab exercises. I will go to the gym again on Monday after work.
I am attending the Worthington UMC this morning. They have a special service at 10:00. I am glad I read their web site thoroughly before venturing there. The services are usually at a different time!
Hang in there, my friends! I will be upbeat and steady. That is what I do...
