Journey of Truth: Day 11

DAY 11

God's Truth

Psalm 62:1-2

I wait quietly before God,
for my victory comes from him.
He alone is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress where I will never be shaken.

Attitude Adjustment

How are you doing today? Are you feeling strong in the Lord or weak today? Do you sense His presence or are you feeling all alone?

It is so interesting to me that I seem to walk in one of three spiritual mindsets:

1. praising God when things are absolutely glorious
2. ignoring God when things are neither here nor there
3. crying out to God when things are just terrible

What about you? Is your spiritual mindset based on circumstances? What makes living this way especially complicated is that my definition of glorious, neither here nor there, and terrible can change as quickly as the wind. My mindset is so easily swayed by circumstances, from getting a good parking space to running out of toilet paper or hearing news about a loved one.

What I'm beginning to realize more and more is that our spiritual mindset should not be influenced by our circumstances. Our understanding of Scripture, and ability to speak it and believe it, needs to be more than a spontaneous expression of praise or a desperate cry for help. We need to know the Word well, and dwell on it until it is a part of our natural thinking.

Let me humbly admit that this Scripture seemed irrelevant just thirty minutes ago. I had no idea what to write about this verse that seemed so meaningful when I selected it days ago. Until I considered a trial a friend is going through. She must...

wait quietly before God...
Indeed, her victory comes from him...
Absolutely, He alone is her rock and her salvation...
Without a doubt, God is her fortress where she will never be shaken....

This Scripture seemed irrelevant to me in my neither here nor there spiritual mindset, while at the same time may mean everything to my friend. But how untrue! The Word of God should mean everything to all of us all the time. Scripture isn't significant only when we are facing trials! We must studied the Word of God, consider it's meaning in every situation, and allow the Lord to impart it in our minds and hearts for the time when its truth will be realized!

Will you take time today to memorize this Scripture? To speak it out loud? To share it with your family? Just maybe, the Lord has a truth wrapped up in this Word that He wants you to know in every spiritual mindset as well!
