OVERWHELMED
Today's reading: Psalm 119

You certainly have a sense of humor, don't you, Lord? In my quick prayer to you this morning I asked for something in your Word to jump out at me quickly, since I've got a lot of things on my plate this morning, today and this evening...and Yyou responded.

Yes, You responded by assigning me the longest chapter in the Bible!

And the verse that caught my attention?

"I am overwhelmed continually..." Psalm 119:20 NLT

Boy, did that ever catch my eye! That's me in a nutshell. That's the headline for my day. That's just what I was complaining to You about.

But, back to Your sense of humor--here's the rest of the verse...

"I am overwhelmed continually with a desire for your laws." Psalm 119:20 NLT

Seldom, if ever, is my mind racing with anticipation for You. Oh, it happens, don't get me wrong. But usually I am running willy-nilly trying to accomplish, perform and succeed at things that have little eternal consequence. I allow my problems, my plans and my potholes to have my full attention. My mind races with all I need to do to please others and please myself.

But please You?

Thanks, Lord. Thanks for reminding me of what's important!
