BECAUSE OF YOU
Today's reading: Psalm 9-11

Normally, I read through the day's scripture the first time to be reading it. The second time around I try to acknowledge what it is God's trying to show me--what jumps out at me, what stops me in my tracks, what causes me to sit up a little straighter or curl up into a convicted ball of flesh.

But not this time. This time I was excited by what the first two verses said and couldn't go any farther with my reading or thinking!

"I will thank you, Lord, with all my heart. I will tell of all the marvelous things you have done. I will be filled with joy because of you..." Psalm 9:1-2 NLT

I will...because of You.

I will...because of You.

I will...because of You.

It's a decision to be made. It's a choice we're confronted with. It's a fork in the road we're traveling on.

What will you do with your freedom in the matter?

It's nothing to do with what you're enduring. It's nothing to do with what you're expecting. It's nothing to do with what you're led to believe will come to pass, what's promised you or what you've been taught in the pew.

We will because of Him.
