They Said it Better

Trust in the Lord and do good; Dwell in the land and cultivate faithfulness. 4 Delight yourself in the Lord; And He will give you the desires of your heart. 5 Commit your way to the Lord, Trust also in Him, and He will do it. 6 He will bring forth your righteousness as the light And your judgment as the noonday. Psalm 37:3-6 I remember driving along with my daughter once and saying, " I gnever wanted to just survive." She was sort of taken aback and asked me what I meant. At the time, our kids were probably ages 4-14 and I was homeschooling them. I've often said of that season that I felt like I was being dragged behind a horse. It really shouldn't have been that way but I think I've always found it easier to fly by the seat of my pants than to be intentional about life. It's so easy to get into the rut of just getting up, going through the motions of our days without thinking or seeking after God's purpose in our lives. The verses above speak of cultivating faithfuless. Cultivation is intentional. You don't just go throw some seeds on the ground and expect them to grow.i think that in our walk with the Lord sometimes it's easy to get into the same kind of rut. Maybe we go through the motions, read our bibles, pray,go to church and bible study, but does it really translate into the life God wants for us? (I started writing this post earlier today. I felt like I was fumbling for words. I heard a song this evening that I think sums it up. It's called, "In the Time You Gave Me" by Bradley Walker and Joey Feek. https://youtu.be/wdRgZyeg07Y)
