The Word on My Walk to Work

Drinking from the river of God's pleasures!

God has made His people to "drink of the river of His pleasures." What a beautifully descriptive phrase of all that God does for us.Psalm 36:8 - They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures.

Looking foolish for the Lord

How silly, how foolish are you willing to look to praise and honor your God? David was willing to set aside what people might think of him as king in order to praise and serve the Lord because that was more important to him. 2 Samuel 6:22 - And I will yet be more vile than thus, and will be base in mine own sight: and of the maidservants which thou hast spoken of, of them shall I be had in honour.

The multitude of God's mercies

Though God's people provoked Him over and over again, yet He was faithful to them because of the "multitude of His mercies."Psalm 106:44-45 - Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, when he heard their cry: And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his mercies.

Ask God Questions!

Submit to God in your daily walk by asking Him questions. David did this exact thing by inquiring of the LORD on two similar occasions and God directed in two distinct ways.2 Samuel 5:19 - And David enquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I go up to the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into mine hand? And the LORD said unto David, Go up: for I will doubtless deliver the Philistines into thine hand.2 Samuel 5:23 - And when David enquired of the LORD, he said, Thou shalt not go up; but fetch a compass behind them, and come upon them over against the mulberry trees.

Don't forget God's benefits!

In our "self talk", we need to remind ourselves of all of God's blessings and benefits in our lives. It's so easy to forget!Psalm 103:2 - Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
