Friday

Psalm 37:4-6
Delight yourself in the Lord and He'll give you the desires of you heart. Commit your way to the Lord, trust in Him and He will do this: He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun.

Oh, how I needed that today. I didn't get straight up and get into the Word. I was early for Lowe Lane and since the library doesn't open until 1 PM, I am able to spend my time in Starbucks and with my Proverbs 31 gal again.
I highlighted this passage yesterday but didn't read through the whole day of Day 75: Host God's Servants.
Instead of just writing down another Scripture in my journal, I have allowed myself to really read it. You read the first part and I believe I have the first part of the passage on a notecard on one or both of my desks at school. Delight yourself in the Lord. Yippee!! If I read this scripture than I will get everything I have ever wanted. Wait, then read the next part. Commit you ways to the Lord; trust in Him and he will do this. What? I have to trust in the unknown of my future and not only do good things but commit my ways to Him? Easy answer is Yes! And the unknown goes under my horrible impatience and trying to control everything!
The Word says, People, trust in Him and He will do this:
He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun!
My righteousness shine! To me that means that He will know the good things that I do, He'll know how hard I work, He'll know how kind I am to others, He'll know that at the base of me, I am a sinner that needs to redeemed as I try so hard to do what's right and at times I fall face first on the pavement of life.
So, if I believe in the Word and the passage, than I should keep doing what I am doing and opportunities that I have to show others who He is just by being me. And He will make me shine and what i need to have SINK in, is that I am not going to get a reward or an Ada Girl! for just doing/being what I supposed to be. What God cares me to do each day for Him.

Here's what is written in my Devotional and puts into works a prayer that I should and do have.

Lord, I delight myself in You. Thank you for giving me the desires of my heart in so many areas of my life. Holy Spirit, empower me to do everything wholeheartedly. I trust You, Lord. I trust that You will make my righteousness shine. You will make me a light in this dark world.
Amen.
