"Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this:
He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun." -- Psalm 37:5-6
Does my righteousness shine like the dawn?
What is my cause? Because God is ready to make it shine like the noonday sun!
Seems to me I have read Psalm 37 a zillion times, after all it contains every single person's most bittersweet verse:
"4 Delight yourself in the LORD
and he will give you the desires of your heart."
Lord knows I waited a long time to see one particular desire of my heart fulfilled. I would say that my righteousness and my causes rank in there somewhere. I just can't say I have given it too much thought lately.
There are still desires both fleshly and spiritual that I still long for. These other verses really struck me with fresh revelation this week though. They have been reverberating around in my head as I wrestle items that would seek to wreck havoc with my righteousness and trust.
Tonight I was tempted to cry myself silly as I wrestled something to ground, but what will that do to my already congested head!
Instead I'll just adore rather than wrestle. Shine Jesus Shine forget any woes is mes you heard earlier from me.
