Psalm 50:1-13

This mornings QT was really great for me. The main thought I took away was this: God doesn't NEED my sacrafices...service...He has MANY resorces...HE WANTS MY HEART. Thank you Dikola for the many times you have reminded me of this. I believe the Lord used your voice in my ear this morning to drive this into my heart. I asked myself: LORD, when I serve you is it because my heart is purely Yours? Oh LORD, please take all other motives out of my heart. Guard it...show me when I am serving You because I have the gall to think you need me. Or because I want to score points with others or even You so that You answer my prayers...I want to love You with all of my heart PERIOD. Not because of what You can do for me or what I hope you do for me.

"How refreshing to know You don't need me, How amazing to find that You want me. So I'll stand on Your truth and I'll fight with Your Strenght until You bring the victory. By the power of Christ in me." -"In Me" by Casting Crowns

Dad, I'm sure you are praying for Geoff today. Dikola, I haven't been able to talk to you lately...I'm praying for your Bible study this morning...Please be praying for Geoff and Leah today. He has had some things going on with his brain and has to have an MRI today. Please pray that they will feel God's presence and seek Him with all of thier hearts...the doctors to have wisdom....you know. I love you all.

I am saying a prayer for Geoff as my fingers are clicking away on this keyboard...also for Leah, this must be very scary! Did your mom know before she came? I called yesterday, but remembered your schedule with Chris. I am praying for you also. I can't wait to share about Bible study this morning. I know you were praying. Thank you!
