All that I am

“Let all that I am praise the Lord; may I never forget the good things he does for me.”Psalms‬ ‭103‬:‭2‬ ‭NLT‬‬

This is a psalm of David. There was a time when he did forget the Lord. When he stayed behind in Jerusalem and didn’t go to war, he was walking on his rooftop and saw a lovely woman bathing. He lusted after her and took her even though she was married to Uriah. He subsequently made this woman, Bathsheba, pregnant and tried to cover his sin, going so far as to murder her husband.

I just awoke from several dreams in which I had forgotten the Lord and became mixed up with unbelievers in a wrong way. My flesh ruled in these dreams.

My flesh has been fighting me fiercely of late and so has my enemy Satan. Critical thoughts, selfish and vindictive thoughts, all manner of wicked thoughts have been crowding in. I’ve had to recognise them and reject them.  Some have stayed longer than they should.

Yesterday my colleague in the work to be done in Sindhulpalchok was in a motorbike accident. Praise God he was not severely hurt. He has some minor head injuries.

Last night I listened to a biography of Amee Semple McPherson. She was a great healing evangelist. However, she spent too much time ministering and suddenly disappeared, people assumed she was dead. She claimed to have been abducted but was accused of an illicit affair with a man in her church. Neither was proven. Perhaps she was taking a rest.

I must guard my heart, my mind and my behaviour. I want to stand before the Lord and know I did not compromise.

Being a great person does not protect us from sin, in fact it invites more attacks and temptations. I don’t want to be a great person to anyone on earth, as long as my Heavenly Father is pleased that is all that matters! Amen!
