I Will Lack No Good Thing?

We pray, and pray, and seek the Lord, and pray some more.  Still, sometimes it seems that what we think seems to be the best for us doesn't come our way.  There's always more room for learning to trust God, to put our faith in His Sovereign control, to yield our desires to Him in childlike peace that He will bring all we need in this life.

I say it again...still, sometimes it seems that it never will come.  Perhaps it won't.  But, if  "it" doesn't come, then "it" is not the GOOD thing. We will not be "lacking" in our lives in anything.  I know it is so because His Word tells us.


Oh, fear the LORD, you his saints,
for those who fear him have no lack!
The young lions suffer want and hunger;
but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing.
(Psalm 34:9-10 ESV)

Those who seek the LORD lack no good thing!  Talk about a delightful way to pray!  First things first.  Seek the LORD.  As a result: nothing good will ever be lacking.

Growing Old

Not many people can get me to think, "I wanna be old!" I recently had to read an article on retiremnt for my Resource Management for the Aging class. I chose a article by John Piper called Rethinking Retirement. This book/pamphlet/article was super encouraging and inspirational to me. Makes me wish I'd die a martyr. Also makes me want to live life 100% for God. You've got to read this though. Ok, gotta get back to passionately pursuing my homework for the glory of God!

Enough To Keep Me Busy

Reading today through the 1st chapter of Isaiah I found this:

"Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean.
Put away the evil of your doings from before My eyes.
Cease to do evil. Learn to do good;
Seek justice, Rebuke the oppressor;
Defend the fatherless, Plead for the widow."

This should be enough to keep me busy the rest of my life.
