I Will Turn to the Lord

All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the Lord, and all the families of the nations will bow down before him, for dominion belongs to the Lord and he rules over the nations. — Psalm 22:27-28

I don't always remember to to turn to God. When things are going along great, I get distracted and busy. Somehow God gets pushed aside. He becomes more of an afterthought.

Forgive me, Lord, for not putting you first. You rule over the nations, but at times I don't let you rule over my life.

I'm sorry and ashamed. Thank you that all of the ends of the earth turn to you. Please help me to turn to you, too. 

Remind me to bow down before you, giving you dominion in my life and my plans. Inviting you to guide me in the ways you would have me go. Help me turn to you each morning.

God Rules

Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves arise, thou stillest them. — Psalm 89:10

Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses. He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still. Then are they glad because they be quiet; so He bringeth them unto their desired haven. — Psalm 107:29-30

O taste and see that the Lord is good: Blessed is the man that trusteth in Him.  — Psalm 34:8

One of my college classmates sent me these Bible verses, and I love them. Thanks to Diana for this assurance from God's Word.

And more beautiful flowers from my coworker Lisa. The yellow flowers are from her garden and smell wonderful!

Today we attended the memorial service for Jean Bowie, a wonderful saint with a sharp sense of humor. She was not afraid to tell it like it is, and she was always willing to share her faith.

I am inspired by people such as Jean (and my brother Steve) who are able to share their faith so easily with whoever they come into contact.

Kirk and I were reminded that we need to reach out to welcome and encourage our neighbors, too.

I am blessed.

Praising God for His goodness.
