Correcting back to following the Lord and His ways

-31S - deutr 31:29
. In days to come, disaster will fall on you because you will do evil in the sight of the Lord and arouse his anger by what your hands have made.”

Psalm 41
4 Blessed is the one
    who trusts in the Lord,
who does not look to the proud,
    to those who turn aside to false gods.[b]
5 Many, Lord my God,
    are the wonders you have done,
    the things you planned for us.
None can compare with you;
    were I to speak and tell of your deeds,
    they would be too many to declare.

O- These words are an exhortation and encouragement to me to keep correcting myself to the Lord.   We are all like the Israelites who wandered from God even after He delivered them to the promiseland and  warned them of their likelihood to wander.   Then David reminds us that we are to trust in the Lord because of who He is.

A -  The application is first to me.  I am a season of wandering from God and correcting back.   I recognize the sovereignty of God over my life, and the grace he has shown me . But even I begin wandering again and need to correct back to what God has told me , shown me.   i have done this in my life as recent as today,  wanting to not do devotions but watch t.v. instead.   I am also observing this in my daughters behavior.  She is s a good girl,  who has love and talent and gifts in her, but she is wandering to do what she knows she ought not to do.  In both of our cases we need to correct back to God's truth, in His wword.    

P -   Dear heavenly Father, please save me and Ashlyn from ourselves.  We are ain love with you and want to follow you but our wandering hearts keep testing your patience and grace.   Heal us both from our rebellious nature, and help us to grow in love and obedience of your word and your ways.  In Jesus name, amen.
