Give me an eagerness for your laws rather than a love for money!
Turn my eyes from worthless things and give me life through your word.
Help me abandon my shameful ways; for your regulations are good.
Psalms 119: 36-37, 39 (NLT)
Do you ever have those times that you want to do better but it seems your actions just don’t line up with your heart’s desire? Reading this passage, reminded me that I can take my shortcomings to God. For it is Him that gives the desire and the ability to do His will.
Amen. SO glad He is there for us. Thanks for this wonderful reminder, Wanda!
So am there…a lot actually. thank you for your honesty and sharing this verse.
Thank you, Wanda, for covering a verse from Psalm 119 today. I study through Psalm 119 at least twice each year and it never fails to accomplish a work in me.
Thank you, also, for commenting on my blog. For some reason I am unable to make a comment on my own blog.
Blessings to you, I plan to recruit you into Starbucks land soon.
Amen, this is a great lesson. We all have shortcomings but He can handle it.
He is a good and loving Father!
Thank you for the reminder Wanda.
Bless you!

Yeah, I'm feeling it right now. Mine is my selfish nature and wanting to do what I want, rather than seeking what He wants.
Thanks for posting this. Blessings!

I totally get this one. And yes, it's hard when my actions don't line up with my desires. It's even harder when I not only want to DO better, I want to BE better. But, for both things, God is the answer.
Philippians 2:13 (NLT): "For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him."
GOD BLESS!
