King David's Journals

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!
