"Your testimonies are my heritage forever; they are the joy of my heart." Psalms 119:111
What brings you joy? I spent the weekend with our grandkids, a little chaotic but none the less full of joy. We play a game called, "I spy with my little eye." We laugh and cut up playing it enjoying the simple things that brings joy. I realize as they get older, their joy can get clouded by chasing the joy the world tries to give: status, power, control, money. One of God's testimonies that He gives us is: "Amen, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 18:3. Are you teachable? Do you listen to God? Do you spend time with Him? Do you look to God with love in your heart? Do you believe what he tells you? Are you sorry for the things that offends him? Are you humble and give Him authority? My relationship with God is a lot like the one I have with my grandkids, only the roles reversed. Don't miss the joy of life wasting it on the small stuff the world preaches. Go hang out with God, this is what your heritage will be.
Dear Heavenly Father, what joy You give us when we spend time with you in adoration. Write Your testimonies in our hearts and give us child like faith. Protect us from the wickedness of the devil, may we recognize his trappings and be brought back to Your protection. Bless this day Lord and may I always listen and hear as You do. I thank You for the heritage of eternity with You and the joy of this life, bring the day on! I love You, Amen.
Mary, Queen of Heaven, pray for us.
