Its 7:37 in the morning as I sit alone in my study, not really alone as God is here beside me. This morning marks the halfway point in my radiation treatments in Dallas. There have been many privileges of having the treatments. I get to spend one on one time with my friends who drive me, getting to know and bless the technicians, nurses and doctors who I see every day and the chance to reflect on my new normal.
As I spend time with the Lord this morning going back over the Scriptures that have meant so much to me. Perhaps I have said these things before, I don't remember, but it strikes me as unique again this morning the correlation between contentment in life and proactively and continually setting the Lord before me.
It's the secret that Paul speaks about in Philippians. In His presence there is fullness of joy according to Psalm 16. If there is fullness of joy in His presence how can I not be content if I am in His presence? The trick is how do I get there and stay there. I have my part and then there's God's part. I am to set the Lord before me continually, to seek Him with all my heart, soul, mind and strength. His part is to be found and to show me the path of life.
I find myself moving in and out of His manifest presence, but I'm trying to find Him moment by moment.
