psalm 73

this is a psalm that i can relate to lately. (you'd have to read the whole psalm for the complete picture, but these verses are particularly salient for where i'm at right now.)

psalm 73:21-23
"then i realized that my heart was bitter, and i was all torn up inside. i was so foolish and ignorant--i must have seemed like a senseless animal to you. yet i still belong to you; you hold my right hand."

right now, as always, i am in need of jesus, but i have this terrible predicament i am creating--i am totally avoiding him. why? i'm not totally sure. i am not setting aside regular times, my time in the word is squeezed in when convenient, and overall, i am not really open to what the lord has to say. honest? yes. uplifting? not so much.

how did i get here? not totally sure. probably somewhat of a slippery slope. bleh. i am not a fan of "here" especially when i know i need to be "there" yet am very unmotivated to move. perhaps motivation doesn't matter. perhaps this whole matter is one of discipline...(see hebrews 12:11) in any case, i cannot do this on my own.

jesus and lisa combo please. with more jesus and less lisa.
