It occurred to me today that perhaps the book of Psalms, is really King David's personal journal, and his prayer book. Read the following excerpts from Psalm 5 and see what you think.
Psalm 5:7-12 "But as for me, will come into Your house...I will worship...Make your way straight before my face... those who rejoice put their trust in You...Shout for joy... Let those who love Your name be joyful in You. "
Does this sound like your journal? I write down similar things in my journals all the time, prayers and heart rending talks with God. Its a glimpse into another's life and thoughts. Most of all it shows others my real relationship with God. What would your journal show others if they read it?
These excerpts tell us how King David lived his life and how we can live our lives and have a personal relationship with the one True God, that he served and followed. Read the whole passage and look for these key ideas below:
1) Worship- honoring our God
2)Follow God's way
3) Rejoice in God
4) Trust in God
5) Shout for Joy
6)Love God's names
7) Have joy in God's presence
8) Expect God to provide all I need.
The most exciting part to me is having a personal relationship with the creator/God of the universe and knowing that He will take care of me in response to my trust in Him. What are you doing to have a personal relationship with God today? Try reading the Psalms, you will find the true God there too!

God comforts me
Today I wondered is my life pleasing God this week? I heard a speaker that made me wonder. But as usual God is good and here is what I found! Psalms 37 says it all I'm so excited to see this Psalm today. This seems to sum up all we have to do in a few verses. Read the whole Psalm too, but these verses are key.
Psalm 37:3 "Trust in the Lord and do good...feed on His faithfulness."
verse 4-"Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart."
Now don't take that to mean God is your sugar-daddy, going to give you all you want. Notice there is a clearification there of delighting yourself in the Lord. How do you do that? Thru worship, prayer and Bible study! If we are doing this as much as we should then our hearts desires will only be to be with God even more. God inhabits the praises and worship of His people, regardless of which church you go do, its about each persons heart. Does your heart worship, delight its self in the presence of God? That's what God wants, a personal relationship with you and I. Then its His pleasure to supply all your needs and desires. But you will find your desires to change as you seek harder after God!
Be encouraged today that God sees you and hears all your prayers. Wait for Him and He will see you thru, I know!
