I haven’t written in this for over two weeks!

My own for-myself-personally, first-thing-in-the-morning Bible reading has suffered that long.

I’ve been gone on a trip. To Mexico. To present an eight-session seminar in “our” church there.

So I’ve been busy and distracted. About good things.

What a bad excuse! What a poor explanation!

Then I read this a few minutes ago:

“O how love I thy law! it is my meditation all the day” (Psalm 119:97).

I can hardly believe this “panting hart” cutting himself off from water so long!

It wasn’t purposeful, just thoughtless and careless.

So I fell. The only thing left to do is get up again and try again. So I will. So I have.

My family is mine. So it is up to me to care for me.

This computer is mine. Again, it is up to me to take care of it.

How about this, then!

“I am thine, save me; for I have sought thy precepts” (Psalm 119:94).

I am assured by that.

Since I am His, it is up to Him to care for me.

But what if extent of His care of me depended on the extent to which I seek His precepts?

Oh my!

Then there’s this: My saying that I am His doesn’t make it so.

Do I live like I am His?
