Psalm
40:16 "Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in
thee: let such as love thy salvation say continually, The LORD be
magnified."
In looking back, what would you think would be the most often thing for which
you sought the Lord? I confess most of the time, I am asking for something. I
have a need or I have a desire for which I seek the Lord's help. As I
read this verse of Scripture this morning, I admit I have a feeling of guilt in
my heart and mind. You see, I am guilty of seeking "things".
The Psalmist David was not necessarily thinking about things; rather, he was
thinking of seeking the Lord.
This morning, my thoughts are on the Lord, Himself. "Let all those
that seek THEE ....." This morning, I am trying to look beyond the
blessing (of which I am super abundantly blessed). But today, I am looking
beyond the blessing to seek fellowship with my Lord Jesus Christ. I love His
salvation which has freed me from the bondage of sin. The more that I magnify
Him, the less desire I have for the things of the world.
"The LORD be magnified." I love you Lord Jesus. You are greater
than any adjective I could use to describe you. I exalt you above all my needs.
I exalt you above all my wants. I exalt you above the storms of life. I exalt
you above the most beautiful days of life. I magnify you above all else. You
are Lord.
"I Love you Lord" by Laurie Klein
I love you, Lord
And I lift my voice
To worship You
Oh, my soul, rejoice!
Take joy my King
In what You hear
Let it be a sweet, sweet sound
In Your ear
