Back in Psalm 25! This time some verses really jumped out at me.
"Who then is the man that fears the Lord? HE will instruct him in the way chosen for him." Psalm 25:12
HE has already chosen my way...from the first moment to the last. And he will instruct me in it if I listen, and fear him.
"The Lord confides in those who fear him; he makes his covenant known to them." Psalm 25:14
Am I the Lord's confidant? Do I ever really stop to listen...to hear what God has to say? Indeed, I strive to listen, but do I really HEAR him, or just to the wishes of my own heart?
He has made a covenant with me. This Psalm lists only a few of the many things he promises to do for me, if only I will surrender to him. Oh, if I would only surrender to him.
LORD...
instruct me...i want to be teachable, and to learn from your ways
show me...the path YOU would have for me
teach me...let me sit at your feet
guide me...for my heart wills that I go my own way
forgive me...for not trusting you, and for running ahead again
turn to me...for I love you, and I need to see the light of your face
look upon me...in your merciful love
guard me...for my heart is weak and the Enemy preys on it
Lord, let me never take my eyes off of you. Let me hear your voice, Lord, feel your presence, taste of your goodness. Thank you that your promises never fail.
"Gratitude exclaims, very properly, ‘How good of God to give me this.’ Adoration says, ‘What must be the quality of that Being whose far-off and momentary coruscations are like this!’ One’s mind runs back up the sunbeam to the sun." C. S. Lewis
cor.us.ca.tion (ˌkɒrəˈskeɪʃən) -- a sudden flash of light; sparkle; scintilate; gleam
I was fascinated with this word after reading the above quote from C. S. Lewis. What a marvelous thought that God gives us glimpses of His image on this earth by "coruscating" Himself in our daily lives. The purpose of this blog is to "coruscate" Him back "with radiant face;" to "reflect in flashes" who He is by praising Him for His work in my life.
The fellowship of believers is one of God's richest blessings. If anything I write here points you to Christ, or sheds the slightest glimmer of light along your path, then all the Glory belongs to God! Thanks for reading, and may the Father richly bless you!
Glorify the Lord with me, let us exalt his name together. I sought the Lord, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears. Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame. Psalm 34:3-5
