A New Posture.

"Direct my footsteps according to your word.
Let no sin rule over me.
Redeem me…that I may obey your precepts.
Make your face shine upon your servant and teach me your decrees. "
~ Psalm 119:133-135

Let no sin rule over me. This has been the ever-present refrain in my heart the last few weeks. In so many ways, it's become the song of my life :) I love that God is so graciously calling me to a deep rooted place of humility. As I nanny. As I study. As I love my family and friends. As I prepare for a move, and an exciting new season. As I write. As I speak.

He is molding and changing my mindset. That everything I do would be a deep reflection of HIM and not me. That as I bake, write, and create, my mind would be constantly singing His praises for the abilities and talents He has bestowed on me.

How much more joy is stirred up within me when I write, create, or speak while praying that He would bless the work of my hands- that it would bring glory to Him alone!

I am thankful that God is developing a meekness in me. Not an inability to accept a compliment, but rather the ability and heart to give that compliment whole-heartedly right back to Him. To take that praise and lay it at the feet of Jesus.

For He alone is the One who saved my soul, and allows me to breathe a new breath each day, each second.

Oh, that my mind and heart would be become like the meek man that Tozer speaks of: one "who cares not at all who is greater than he, for he has decided that the esteem of the world isn't worth the effort."

You are loved,
Lyss
