20 September 2008

Psalm 70:4
But may all who search for you be filled with joy and gladness in you. May those who love your salvation repeatedly shout, “God is great!”

In the darkest of times while I have been here in Iraq the most joy that I receive is when I am worshipping the Lord. There is a song titled. “There is Joy in the Lord.” The whole aspect of worshipping the Lord is truly joyful. When I feel truly down I get my guitar and begin to worship just by myself. It lifts my spirits. What it does is take the focus off of me and my problems and focuses my thoughts on the Lord. Then I have the ability to see things a little more clearly. I am reminded of how David used to go and play his harp for King Saul when Saul was in a bad mood. David’s praise and worship of the Lord also caused King Saul to forget his troubles and change his focus. May we all turn our focus to the Lord and worship Him. He will fill us with joy and gladness.

About Me

I am a former soldier in the United States Army. I have deployed to Afghanistan once and to Iraq twice. I feel that I have been called by God to serve Him where I am and to do it joyfully. This can be hard at times. This blog is not about where the Army has taken me but what I read in Scripture and where God is taking me along my spiritual journey. I hope that you will glean information from what I write and will be blessed as God blesses me.
