its been awhile since ive felt God trying to show me something. i was just sitting on my bed thinking of a verse in psalms that i couldnt quite remember enough to quote. i had my nlt bible on my book shelf, and my niv on my computer desk, both of which would envolve me getting up. (ha ha) anyways. so i type in crosswalk.com. but then im like.
"well.. i kinda want my NLT."
so I get up and get it. :) it smells like a mixture of bible, camp, and trees. (go figure) anyway, i start browsing the psalms and then this verse just slaps me in the face.
"do not let me drift towards evil; or take part in acts of wickedness; do not let me share in delicacies of those who do wrong..." Psalm 141:4
as i read that i guess i just started thinking about the past few months and how bitter and angry ive been at God. and yet i have no reason to be. i seem to always try and blame someone else when i allow myself into a yucky relationship. that i know i shouldnt be in, and i end up crying and broken. needing someone to blame. this last time i knew i couldnt blame the other person. and i didnt want to blame me. so i blamed God. (im so stupid i know) but after reading psalm 141, i reazlied that if i want God to protect my heart, and keep me from getting hurt, that i need to ask him too. i need to seek him and ask him to keep me from those who will harm me. its not like i dont have christian friends. i just seem to drift towards the friends that are maybe a not so good influence. and we all know i have a hard time saying no to things. *shrugs* but yeah. God really is super great.
id highly recommend reading psalm 139:23, all of psalm 140 and 141. Its not too long so no worries. but its really encouraging. at least to me. :)
