I haven&#8217;t got my thoughts all sorted out yet, but I have once again been reminded of what my Savior has done for me. I&#8217;ve been reminded of how little I know about Him, and how much of Him I cannot comprehend nor understand. I&#8217;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&#8217;t come up with the proper word. I have been humbled, and reminded that I&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>So basically it&#8217;s been a good evening.<\/p>\n<p>Psalm 57:1 <em>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.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Proverbs 20:3 <em>It is an honour for a man to cease from strife: but every fool will be meddling.<br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">How easy it is working on staff at a college to meddle in students lives.<\/p>\n<p>20:6 <em>Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness: but a faithful man who can find?<br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">How easy it is to tell every one how good I am, what a great job I&#8217;m doing.

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&#8217;s anointed? How opposite of what a \u201creal\u201d man would do.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">20:29 <em>The glory of young men is their strength: and the beauty of old me is the gray head.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I warn you, this one is kind of long.
