God delights

Psalm 37:23. 

Ever consider that God delights in the details of your life? Says so right there. 

Yeah, I know, I screw up, too. Like. Big. Time.

Then I go into what I call "my comfy chair" where I have my God-time. I can sit in this softly cushioned chair, and feel secure and snug, looking out at Rich Mountain. I can watch as the darkness moves out and daylight washes over the mountain. Some mornings, I watch wisps of clouds assemble then disappear. God hears me ooh and ahh over His handiwork as I am pouring out my heart to him, drinking in His Word, seeking wisdom and guidance. He hears my gasps of wonder as I look up and see the green of the mountain where just a moment before a cloud obscured any vision of it. 

I believe He delights in that.

I believe He delights in seeing how I handle the details of my life. I sometimes picture Him with His hand to His head in frustration and exasperation saying, "Faye, c'mon! We've done this before!" Other times, I can see Him beaming as His child has been obedient and stepped forth in the faith He gave, and shined, bringing Him glory. 

God delights in the details of your life. Finances? Schedules? Housework? Carpool? Children? Spouse? Food? Bible study? Education? Aging? Health? 

Yes. 

Today's' challenge: Re-evaluate how YOU look at the details of your life and seek Him. Then, step back and let Him guide all those so you can delight in them, too.

(By the way, tomorrow's challenge is pretty much the same — the days after, too.)
