Here is today’s Bible reading: 1 Samuel 24:1-25:44; John 10:22-42; Psalm 116:1-19; Proverbs 15:20-21.
Psalm 116:7 (NIV)
Be at rest once more, O my soul,
for the Lord has been good to you.
The discipline of gratitude puts life in perspective.
1 Samuel 24:5-7 (NIV)
Afterward, David was conscience-stricken for having cut off a corner of his robe. [6] He said to his men, “The Lord forbid that I should do such a thing to my master, the Lord’s anointed, or lift my hand against him; for he is the anointed of the Lord.” [7] With these words David rebuked his men and did not allow them to attack Saul. And Saul left the cave and went his way.
In contrast to Saul’s impatience which caused him to run ahead of God and take things in his own hands, David waits upon the Lord for His perfect timing.
Like the Apostle Paul, I want more than anything to know Christ (Phil. 3:10). I do not want to simply know about Him. I want to know Him-- personally, intimately, and experientially. It is not enough for me to hear about Him. I want to see Him with my own eyes.

I’m in awe of it. Then. And now, when it is in my midst. Grateful for Christian friends who speak the truth to me everyday. And many times straighten me out.
