He knows my way -- I delight in His.

Give Me That Delight!

But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

Psalm 1:2

Reading:

Psalm 1; Proverbs 1:1-8; James 1:1-8

I’m supposed to speak to a multi-school teachers’ meeting on Friday. My assigned topic is “Teaching Critical Thinking.”

It occurred to me this morning that I should read chapter one in preparation. Chapter one? Yeah, as in Psalm 1, Proverbs 1, and James 1. (I love those three books!!)

I’m glad I read those twenty-two verses. I challenge you to read them as well, especially if your leaves are feeling withered (like mine are).

“And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water,
that bringeth forth his fruit in his season;
his leaf also shall not wither;
and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper” (Psalm 1:3).

For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous (Psalm 1:6)

For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous (Psalm 1:6)

Well, Who Is He?

He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?

Matthew 16:15

Reading:

Matthew 16:13-27

Those times when I say who Jesus is, what do I say?

Otherwise, what does my life say about who Jesus is?

How well do I hear and retain what Jesus has to say to me?

Am I prone to challenge or question God’s plan and way of doing things?

Will I go after Jesus?

Where does my self fit into my life?

What am I doing with my life?

What am I giving (or taking, for that matter) in exchange for my soul?

What kind of reward will my works yield?

“Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me” (Matthew 16:24).
