A gift from Kaylee's post this morning...

"You're blessed when you stay on course, walking steadily on the road revealed by God.

You're blessed when you follow his directions,
doing your best to find him.
That's right—you don't go off on your own;
you walk straight along the road he set.
You, God, prescribed the right way to live;
now you expect us to live it.
Oh, that my steps might be steady,
keeping to the course you set;
Then I'd never have any regrets
in comparing my life with your counsel.
I thank you for speaking straight from your heart;
I learn the pattern of your righteous ways.
I'm going to do what you tell me to do;
don't ever walk off and leave me.

How can a young person live a clean life?
By carefully reading the map of your Word.
I'm single-minded in pursuit of you;
don't let me miss the road signs you've posted.

I've banked your promises in the vault of my heart so I won't sin myself bankrupt.
Be blessed, God; train me in your ways of wise living.
I'll transfer to my lips all the counsel that comes from your mouth;
I delight far more in what you tell me about living than in gathering a pile of riches.
I ponder every morsel of wisdom from you,
I attentively watch how you've done it.
I relish everything you've told me of life, I won't forget a word of it."
>>>Psalm 119:1-16<<<

I've been finding myself in the Word out of necessity a whole lot lately.  Not like a "man, I should be reading scripture" sort of way, but a "God, at least I know the answer to this is somewhere in scripture!" sort of way.  I love that He has hidden His mysteries for us to find.  And I love that He has promised us that if we will seek, He will be found by us.  Those two facts are two of the biggest joys of my life.  Really.  Maybe the two biggest joys of my life.  Yes.  I think they are.

What a good God to give us promises.
