WORKING IT!

Practicing the Presence of the Lord is not some trite little phrase.  It is WORK.  It takes vigilance and sheer determination.

PS 95: 1,2, and 3

O come, let us sing to the Lord, let us make a joyful noise to the Rock of our Salvation!  Let us come before His presence with Thanksgiving;  let us make a joyful noise to Him with songs of praise.  For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods.

That is what I had to do in spades this week.  Practice the presence and sing.  I realized my zeal has been a little out of touch, well okay, so it was more than a little.  The physical side of myself was getting out of whack again and it got to me.  I was not enjoying get togethers, or much of anything.

I had found myself making an appointment for a third back injection and then the colon went whacko on me again.  So I called it all in and realized I needed to praise, practice and sing this week.  Although I don't know the outcome of some important tests this week, I am leaving it with Him.  And, as always, He comes through when you finally let it go and let Him work all things together for good.  Tomorrow I will know something, and whatever that word is negative or positive, I will let Him know by praising and thanking, and standing on the rock.  I will sing about Joy and pretty soon it starts to come.  Try it.  If you need to that is.
