“The righteous man will be glad in the Lord and will take refuge in Him; and all the upright in heart will glory.” (Psalm 64:10)
Do you look to the Lord for all things? Do you praise and thank the Lord in all circumstances? Do you see that the Lord is always good and His ways righteous? These things are true, but often the attitude of our heart gets in the way and we do not praise the Lord at all times and in all circumstances. Take refuge in the Lord and let Him lead your heart always and you will be blessed as one of the righteous.
Lord, I do have attitude problems and often get carried away by my own thoughts. Help me shift my thinking to You, that You, who IS the center of all things may be the center of my life. Guide me in Your eternal way that I would walk humbly with You, my God, now and always. Keep my heart upright in Your sight that I may live according to Your precepts which You have spoken from the beginning.
Lord Jesus You alone are able to lead the way for this heart of mine which often seeks after its own thoughts. Lead me to live in such a way that I seek to do what I do to please the Father. Yes, the flesh is weak and I need grace, but teach me to live through the need for grace to the place where I willingly and with praise obey all that is commanded. Help me Jesus to become like You. Amen.
