Psalm 81:11 "But my people did not listen to my voice; Israel would not submit to me.
This one is a good one. I would advise anyone who reads this to read this whole Psalm because it has some good things to say. Very true things. Very depressing things. For example, the Psalm goes on to say, "So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts, to follow their own counsels. O that my people would listen to me, that Israel would walk in my ways!" I think I forget most of the time how much better things seem to go when I take the time to listen to what God has to say about my life. I think that a BIG BIG BIG part of that is the fact that I'm never still. My mind runs a mile a minute, there is always noise around me, and I can never concentrate on what I need to concentrate on. School starts back up in a few weeks and I have decided to attempt to start something new. Each morning, I'm going to wake up, shower, and spend at least half and hour with God. Just me and the Big Guy. No music, no computer, no magazines, no homework...nothing. A standing date with the Creator of the universe. Because why not? I guess this BFD is more like a BF something else, because all I'm doing is discussing how I want to become closer to the only one who seems able to solve the problems I create for myself...This summer has been so great. SO SO great. God is so good, you guys. He has blessed me in so many ways with people and situations and He shows me such love even when I don't realize it. The road ahead is long, and I'll need a lot of patience and trust, but for the first time ever I feel like what is ahead of me is worth waiting for! Speak, God, for your servant is listening!!!!!!!
