June 30, 2021: SOAP #4227:  Amos 7-9; Psalm 104: Titus 2

SCRIPTURE:  Psalm (NIV) 104:31 May the glory of the LORD endure forever; may the LORD rejoice in his works—32 he who looks at the earth, and it trembles, who touches the mountains, and they smoke.
33 I will sing to the LORD all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live. 34 May my meditation be pleasing to him, as I rejoice in the LORD. 35 But may sinners vanish from the earth and the wicked be no more. Praise the LORD, O my soul. Praise the LORD.

OBSERVATION: This is a psalm/song about creation. The glory and wisdom of God is seen everywhere in the world He created. Everyone should be able to enjoy their works, and so should God.  His works should bring him joy.  Man is the part of creation that has the power to bring Him the greatest joy, also has the power to bring Him the greatest sorrow.

APPLICATION:  Meditation is a very personal activity.  What one meditates about usually depends on what is pleasing to the person.  However, the psalmist desires that his meditation to be pleasing to God! 

I have not taken much time to consider my meditation.  I have just thought about things that captured my attention at the moment.  I do not want to say anything that would be displeasing to the Lord.  I do not want to do anything that would be displeasing to the Lord.  I do not want to think anything that would be displeasing to the Lord! 

PRAYER: Holy Spirit, I need your help to keep my thoughts pleasing to the Lord.  May He enjoy sharing this life with me.  May my words, my actions, and my thoughts bring pleasure to Him.  Amen

Personally note:  Thanks to everyone who prayed for Pastor Andrew.  He was released from the hospital today to his home.  He had some painful dislocations but no broken bones.  Praise the Lord!  His assistant pastor will help him with distributing the SOAPa.  Pray for his continued recovery and to make it over some financial hurdles.  Thank you!  😊
