Freedom Time

Okay, so I rotated Lauryn's Unplugged album right? I can feel the wind on my face. I'm soaring higher, and higher. I can sit and stare and listen. Listening to her is like sitting in a class room and enjoying it. Contrary it makes me want to punch someone for not owning up to "borrowing" my CDs. I can't help it, my hands are tied. I HAVE to go look for them tomorrow after work!

So tonight's SOAP placed me at Psalm 139, and boy oh boy, need I say more? So much verses stood out to me, but I decided to blog about verse 23. Okay if I had written a book myself like good old David and I were to pen something similar, it would read .. " Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me, and .." Then the book would finish with a note from the publishers explaining how the author got struck by lightning mid-writing. Haha, don't worry, I know God's not like that. Why use lightning when He can just make the earth swallow me up? There goes my humour again. Anyone have a moisturizer? 'Cause I'm so dry.

Yeah so just coveting David's righteousness before God. How can any man ask God that? This is one of those passages that I would like to be engraved on my tombstone. (along with heaps of other verses) But one of those verses that I can only pray to be able to say or even think for that matter, because I want to live a life that is worthy of such a question to end. Application; To live a life righteous before God.

God grant me the strength to endure. Help me never to give up because You never gave up on me. Help me to constantly count the cost and bring to mind why I live the way I do; To live is Christ, and to die is gain.

I Love U (Yes I Du)

Cringing to the spelling of that ^ song, but I love the artist. Mary J. Blige's new album FTW! .. So, *clears throat* today's SOAP, I read Psalm 136-138, and the verses I read were all enlightening and fitting, especially Psalm 136. If how I was feeling about my first day at my job was ever penned, Psalm 136 would fit the mould. An uninhibited, unparalleled all out praise to my King ..

Then my eyes wouldn't let verse 23 just be read once, or twice. NKJV says "Who remembered us in our lowly state, for His mercy endures forever", and it just hit home. My God didn't forget about me, and failed not to deliver me out of my troubles. I feel so, rewarded. I guess it's because I didn't quit when I wanted to, and waited on Him instead. I love how God doesn't let my worries slip past Him, and He cares about my thoughts, even the littlest of them. He knows what troubles me, what frowns my mouth, what aches my fragile heart. Funny that in the midst of all of these, I still doubt and am fearful of my future. What will happen in 6 months when my contract is finished? That's just one of the questions in my mind. Make my mind at ease oh God! (I posted that question for future reference, for something to laugh at when my God proves victorious in this area of my life again)

I guess I'm only left with one thing to apply from this devotion; God remembers. [:

On a lighter note, a few nights ago I tried to give Yanentations a face-lift, but I couldn't lift my face of my new sofa-bed and snored it through 'till morning! [: So I'll try to match this blog with the new season God's bringing me into. You just got Yanentationed. Take that!
