I warn you, this one is kind of long.

I really got to thinking this evening. I haven’t got my thoughts all sorted out yet, but I have once again been reminded of what my Savior has done for me. I’ve been reminded of how little I know about Him, and how much of Him I cannot comprehend nor understand. I’ve been reminded how deeply indebted I am to Him, and how He has paid that debt for me, willingly and without a grudge. Grudge is to weak a word for what I want to say, but I can’t come up with the proper word. I have been humbled, and reminded that I’ve claimed Him as my Lord. People see my actions and attribute them to Him. What huge responsibility, that I am so inept to be entrusted with. How often I fail. How quickly I will forget this evening, and once again go about my life focused more on my self than on Christ.

So basically it’s been a good evening.

Psalm 57:1 Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast.

Proverbs 20:3 It is an honour for a man to cease from strife: but every fool will be meddling.

How easy it is working on staff at a college to meddle in students lives.

20:6 Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness: but a faithful man who can find?

How easy it is to tell every one how good I am, what a great job I’m doing. Faithful men on the other hand are hard to come by.

20:22 Say not thou, I will recompense evil; but wait on the LORD, and he shall save thee.

David really understood this ( I think). How often in the Psalms is he asking God to smite his enemies. How often did he run away from Saul because he would not touch the Lord’s anointed? How opposite of what a “real” man would do.

20:29 The glory of young men is their strength: and the beauty of old me is the gray head.
