So Much to Contemplate Today
This is my younger sister's birthday; we call each other our double sister as we have both known the saving grace of God. When I was a great deal younger, I thought every family was like ours. It was only really when I left home for college that it began to sink in that our family was the exception rather than the rule. More on that later.
Then, too, I was giving some thought to this passage from Psalm 37:4: Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart. Time was that my focus was more on the second part of this--he will give you the desires of your heart. More recently, finally, my meditation has been on the first part--delight yourself in the Lord. Do I do that? Would I do that even if there was no promise attached? Isn't He enough in Himself to delight in for His own character? Think about His known attributes for a while and you will delight in Him, having repented of not having done so.
