Something to think about as you start a new week

Monday Meditations are quick posts designed to get you thinking about God. They provide a fresh perspective as you jump into your routine.

 

Foolish Desires

Foolish Desires title graphic

Take away my foolish desires, and let me find life by walking with you. Psalm 119:37 (CEV)

There are so many things demanding a place on my schedule, vying for my attention. Don’t let me waste Your gift of time with things that don’t honor You, things that don’t have lasting value.

Like a child, I want everything I see. Take away my foolish desires.

Let me find life, contentment, satisfaction by walking with You.

Let me achieve that Edenic communion You always intended for us to have with You.

Let nothing come between.

Understanding

By

WeavingMake me understand the way of Your precepts; so shall I meditate on Your wonderful works. Psalm 119:27 NKJV

I want to understand how it all fits together,
how Your miracles show Your character,
how the things You do reveal who You are.
Not that You owe me.

Help me see both the big picture
and the threads that run through it all.
