Psalm 96: 9-11

Is he deaf- the one who made your ears?
Is he blind-the one who formed your eyes?
He punishes the nations-won't he punish you?
He knows everything- doesn't he also know what you are doing?
The Lord knows the people's thoughts; he knows they are worthless!

Dang! I was surprised to find that in the Bible. Very true nevertheless.

Deeper

I have been spending more time listening to what God has to say to me. Sometimes he says things and sometimes he doesn't. But one change this has lead to is a deeper knowledge of myself. I've learned a lot about myself by listening to the one who made me. I've learned that 1. I have high standards. That's not a bad thing, in fact, I'd say that's a good thing. It pushes me to be may best at everything I do...school, athletics, ext. I also have high standards for my friends and more. 2. I have a really strong faith. However, it means nothing if I cannot use it to glorify my Lord. Faith without works is dead.

Why do you still love us?

We are only human. Yeah we're your creation and all but still. We make bad decisions, sin non-stop, and tear each other down. Maybe the question is HOW do you still love us? I'm not sure but I'm thankful that you do.

When is the last time you...

told someone that you were truly thankful for them (with no strings attached)? Sometimes the simplest heartfelt comment can go a long way.
