July Verse

Praise the Lord. Blessed is the man who fears the Lord, who finds great delight in his commands. Psalm 112: 1-2

I found these verses very convicting. I know that I do not fear the Lord like I should. I know in my mind that I'm fearful, but often it doesn't come across in my everyday life. I have read the Bible and know some of the things He has done and can do, yet I don't have the proper amount of fear. I know that I can ask for forgiveness and it will be granted. However, there are so many sins that I do over and over, that if I had the proper amount of fear I would be working harder at overcoming. That leads me to the second verse. "Who finds great delight in his commands" I have a really hard time with that. It is hard enough not doing many of the thing my mind and human nature find appealing. But to enjoy not doing those things is even harder. It will only be by the grace of God that I will hopefully eventually get to that place. As I continue to think about this verse I think it is not only talking about the things we are called not to do, but all the things we are to do. Which can also be difficult at times.

Let me know what y'all think about these verses and my comments. Sorry that I rambled.
