How I wish that at every second of my life I would yell at the top of my longs, "Bless the Lord oh my soul, and all that is within me bless Him (Psalm 103)". How I wish that my heart would be focused on and would always meditate upon his great works, his covenant keeping loving kindness, unfortunately that is not always the case. Even though he deserves the praise of my heart and soul and even more, I a fallen creature am unfit to give him such give him such glory. Paul in Athens states, “God is not serve by human hands.” I could go to the extent of saying that there has never been a moment in either my regenerate or unregenerate life where I praised, worshiped, loved and adored God as much as he deserves. You might be reading this and ask well is this guy really saved? By the grace of God I am, because Jesus at every moment of his eternal and earthly life praised, worshiped, adored, and loved God to that extent which He deserves. My comfort and righteousness is in the saving Jesus.
Right now I am studying for my Koine Greek exam which will cover all 16 chapters of Romans, because of a distraction I am tempted to enjoy, admire, and adore something other than God. I must remember Gal. 2:20 in these times, "I have been crucified with Christ, it is no longer I who live but Christ who lives in me, the life I now life in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave himself for me." May the brightness of Jesus shine ever brighter in my weakness! Glory to Him and may we passionately boast in him!
~ Psalm 101
