Lately Abba has been sifting my heart and revealing a lot of nuggets that I was not willing to be still and listen to before. Most especially He speaks to me through my dreams and these last few nights I've had some mighty intense ones. Imagine my delight upon waking up and reading this beautiful psalm. The verse I love most especially today is in bold lettering. I will share at a later time. I realized during prayer last night that a lot of times I feel distracted because I am so eager to share what God is speaking into my spirit that I pull away from Him way before He would like me too. His desire is to have intimacy with us, with me and even though I feel Him and know He is with me always, I have been holding back. He also revealed to me why I have been doing that, choosing to be distracted versus sitting at His feet like I love more than anything. So I share this scripture with you today as I marinate on the sweetness and splendor of His love. It's not about Twitter or Facebook or even blogger. Yes, sharing what he is showing us is beneficial and necessary, but more so is taking the time to be only His. ONLY. I love that!
Psalm 16 (The Message)
Keep me safe, O God, I've run for dear life to you.
I say to God, "Be my Lord!"
Without you, nothing makes sense.
And these God-chosen lives all around—
what splendid friends they make!
Don't just go shopping for a god.
Gods are not for sale.
I swear I'll never treat god-names
like brand-names.
My choice is you, God, first and only.
And now I find I'm your choice!
You set me up with a house and yard.
And then you made me your heir!
The wise counsel God gives when I'm awake
is confirmed by my sleeping heart.
Day and night I'll stick with God;
I've got a good thing going and I'm not letting go.
I'm happy from the inside out,
and from the outside in, I'm firmly formed.
You canceled my ticket to hell—
that's not my destination!
Now you've got my feet on the life path,
all radiant from the shining of your face.
Ever since you took my hand,
I'm on the right way.
Wow. Read it again. What a promise! What a life He's given!
