 Today’s Thought “Affirming Dependence” G. Ward

Psalm 25

10 All the paths of the Lord are faithfulness and truth
To those who comply with His covenant and His testimonies.11 For the sake of Your name, Lord,
forgive my wrongdoing, for it is great.

 

Like many of you, I’m overwhelmed with how another day is presented me and whereas a more popular view celebrates similarly, it can/will often violate a total surrender in acknowledging HIM (i.e., Holy God) in every way. Our humanity reveals great inadequacy; from awakening to slumber. It mostly hopes in things going smoothly. Some deem this a sign of the optimist, yet it’s more denial; in that, there’s refusal to absolutely consult through an unwavering abiding to HIM (through HIS Word) who made us and can grant us peace while difficulties are present. I celebrate that although as a believer, my teeter-tottering in and out from selfishness to selflessness exists, that through my confession of HIM as LORD of my life, HE forgives my indiscretions; yet, solely through Christ’s presence found in me (Ro.8:1) and that grace provided must never escape my knowing that others need to hear and witness such in me. That’s what it means to appreciate another day’s journey…
