I just got back from a morning of church, late breakfast, and Walmart for new shoes.
In Doulos this morning, we heard a message from 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18:
"16 Rejoice always, 17 pray continually,18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus."
It was one of those instances where I felt like I was hearing a message that was just for me. I came to the realization that as of late, I hadn't been rejoicing in God as I ought to have been. So much has been going on lately, so many things changing, that I had been struggling to honor and trust God. It's all too easy for us as believers to take our eyes off The Lord. He deserves our love and praise who gives us His blessings and love.
The pastor spoke about how we sometimes need to remember to preach the Gospel to ourselves. Last year, I had put Psalm 103 in the Notes app on my iPod Touch so that I could read it anytime. After a while, I stopped being so faithful about reading it to myself. I need to start doing that again.
