Days 12 & 13: Psalm 119:89-104
Okay, so I totally went the whole day yesterday without doing my quiet time, and I am going to do my best not to let that happen again. It was an awful day. There were many stressful situations, and I reacted to them much differently than when I have had reading and morning prayer. I was a mess by lunch time. Granted they were unusually difficult, but I still know that I hadn’t reminded myself that with God I could handle it. Now that I am catching up with yesterday’s reading, I realize how beneficial it would have been to have read v. 91, “Your laws endure to this day, for all things serve you.” All things serve God. Yesterday I didn’t even feel like I served God at times, much less some of the awful people I was surrounded by. If I could just act the way I know I want to in my heart always. I want to serve God, and I know that I cannot slave for two masters. I must continue to immerse myself in God’s word daily to gain the wisdom, insight and understanding the psalmist goes on to speak about. “How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!” (v.103)
