Wednesday's Wander

 

"Turn my heart toward your statutes
and not toward selfish gain."
Psalm 119:36

I have high hopes for this day.

For one, I'm feeling better enough from this nasty sinus thing that I might actually have my whole brain to work with.

Also, since Wednesdays are usually my out-and-about-and-doing-all-the-meetings-and-things day, when I have a no-meeting week, Wednesdays feel so luxurious.

Before all that, though, I'm parked for a bit in Psalm 119.
It's rich in here.

But also this.

"Selfish gain."

Argh. Don't you hate it when it stands out at you like that?

I am fully aware of the dangers here, but I find myself praying this anyways. "Lord, bring to light where and how I might be turned toward selfish gain in conflict with Your instructions for and calling on my life."

And then, is it just a coincidence that the next thought that comes to mind is "Freely you have received. Freely give." Matthew 10:8

I wonder how I can freely give today?

Of my time.

Of my money.

Of my patience and grace.

Of my love.

What opportunities await?

So yes, high expectations for this day.
There's already movement in my spirit.
Let's see where it takes me.

Hope your Wednesday has good wanderings too!
