Scripture Psalms 68:3 But let the righteous be glad; Let them rejoice before God; Yes, let them rejoice exceedingly. <\/p>\n
Observation: Maybe it\u2019s because I\u2019m not righteous, that is why I\u2019m not glad or rejoicing. How can I not be happy that I have eternal life and that my God is always with me? A day doesn\u2019t go by that I feel sad or anxious. I\u2019m engulfed with my life here on earth and spend so much time not thinking of my Lord. I worry, my thoughts are full of anger then of love, how can I rejoice, even though I have been given the greatest gift. A righteous person wouldn\u2019t be like this, a righteous person would be thinking of what is right. I\u2019m not rejoicing because I\u2019m not focused on the one that would bring me joy even though He is right here with me.<\/p>\n
Application: I\u2019m called to be righteous, a child of the King and I need to act that way. My thoughts need to be directed towards my Lord and not the things of this world. I\u2019m only here for a short time and God has given me a job to do, a job that will glorify Him and bring me joy. I\u2019m here to share the love of the Lord with others and to lead them to His grace. I need to realize what a privilege God has given me and I need to rejoice in that, because that is what a righteous man would do.<\/p>\n
Prayer: My Lord open your servant\u2019s eyes to what You desire for Him. Make me righteous, use this time you have blessed me with to glorify your name. May I rejoice and be glad each day that I am yours and may that gladness spill onto others around me. Help me stay focused on you and not this world I\u2019m surrounded with. I love you my Lord draw me close.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
