SCRIPTURE: Psalm 104:33 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.
OBSERVATION: After about thirty verses of God’s creation and how the Lord can rejoice in all his works, the writer now comes to God’s crowning creation: man. If God can get glory from all the other creation, how much more should He get glory from man!
So, the writer is going to sing; he is going to praise; and his desire is that even the thoughts in his mind be enjoyable to God.
Especially for those of us who have received Jesus as our Lord and Savior. He is now Lord in resident! In other words, He has made our life His home. He is as close to us as our thoughts! Surely we would wants our thoughts to be pleasing to Him!
APPLICATION: Usually I want to think about what I enjoy, about what I have done, or what I would like to be doing. But I should think about things that He enjoys. After all, He shares my life and knows my every thought.
Often I find that when my thoughts are focusing on Him and His presence, He intertwines His thoughts with mine! I discover strong, bold, dominant thoughts that did not come from my pattern of thinking. I find that He is making His presence recognizable in my heart and is giving me thoughts that He does not want me to ignore!
A safeguard He has given us is that His thoughts will never lead us contrary to the Bible. He is faithful to confirm His word at another time and through another source. God is faithful to us!
PRAYER: Lord, may my thoughts be pleasing to you. And may you enjoy mixing your thoughts with mine today. Amen
