Almost fell asleep at this wretched hour when I remembered I put this off for later. Almost felt like not doing it, but I'd regret it tomorrow. So here I am.
I think those words say how I'm feeling right now- apathetic and running away from my problems. So I looked up verses on rejoicing in the Lord to put my mind in the right place, rather than doing this for self satisfaction or duty. A couple of the verses that cut to the quick:
Philippians 4:4
4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!
What an exhortation! Not simply to page through the Bible, but rather to read it and rejoice in the word God has given us.
And this chapter of Psalm struck me:
Psalm 104
33 I will sing to the Lord all my life;
I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.
34 May my meditation be pleasing to him,
as I rejoice in the Lord.
The entire beginning was dedicated to the praises of God and the many blessings he has given. Oh, let these meditations be pleasing to him, let my heart be in the right place. Remind me of the joy found in the Lord, and Him alone.
