I woke up today, not feeling the presence of God. Remember the plague of darkness that could felt. It was similar, I could feel only darkness around - insecurity of tomorrow, over my weak body.
But praise God He is a God that heals. It was Psalm 51 for todays meditation. Yesterday, I could say, "I have finished the race for the day". I was proud, haughty - do you know why? Some how, I got the feel I could do it.
I forgot, it is not I that doeth, but He that doeth for me.
God does not want a proud and haughty spirit, but ...
17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.
19 Then there will be righteous sacrifices, whole burnt offerings to delight you;
Yes, a broken heart - It is not possible by me Lord. I acknowledge again, it is not possible by me. Only you Lord, You reign in me.
A whole burnt offering!! Lord, You are not the Lord of my struggles with sin, or career alone. You are God of all that I am - The whole wretched me. Here I bring my wretched self to the alter. Reign whole on me, and I ( The wretchedness, the body of sin) will be burnt. Then in newness of life that was promised, I shall rise as the sweet smelling aroma to the nostril of the living God.
Praise God!
