December 10, 2017 - - What or Who is guiding you?

For this is God,

Our God forever and ever;

He will be our guide

Even to death.

Psalm 48:14 NKJV

What is the first thing you pick up in the morning? The newspaper? The cell phone to check for texts? Coffee and some gaming? TV remote? Twitter? FB newsfeed? Crosswords?

It is obvious to me that the writer of this Psalm begins and ends the day in contemplation of the Greatness of God. Even life itself begins and ends with instruction from the LORD, the Great Sovereign over nations and creation, the vast cosmos and the mighty ranks of angels, all the events of history and the individual human heart.

Consider this: if you would live life fully and have a good death, pick up your relationship with the Living God, each day. Read the Bible. Pray. Ask His help so that you can live blessing His Name, obedient to Him, facing life's sorrows and joys. He alone is the right guide for living life to fullest measure.

Take hold of my heart and my schedule, God my Guide. Be my best thought by day or by night, so that my life is lived under the shadow of the throne of Jesus, my brother, my Savior and my King. Amen.
