92 Psalm 106:7-15 Leanness of Soul
JMD Devotional 92 Psalm 106:7-15 Leanness of Soul
Our fathers in Egypt understood not nor appreciated Your miracles; they did not [earnestly] remember the multitude of Your mercies nor imprint Your loving-kindness [on their hearts], but they were rebellious and provoked the Lord at the sea, even at the Red Sea. Nevertheless He saved them for His name's sake [to prove the righteousness of the divine character], that He might make His mighty power known... But they hastily forgot His works; they did not [earnestly] wait for His plans [to develop] regarding them, But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness and tempted and tried to restrain God [with their insistent desires] in the desert. ("We hate manna, we want meat!") And He gave them their request, but sent leanness into their souls and [thinned their numbers by] disease and death.
How many a father has stored up desire to bless his children, but their rebellion and misbehavior has put their blessings on hold and incited discipline and punishment instead. Then the insolent child demands their 'rights', and the parent grants the request, but there is no joy in the giving, and their relationship is strained. The posture of the child has blocked far greater gifts than they had in mind. If we would quit trying to pry things out of God's hands; and seek His face instead, what a bounty of blessings would flow into our lives!
Dear God,
I really despise myself when I consider how ignorant, selfish and short-sighted I have been in my strivings and desires. Please forgive my abominable iniquitous prayers! May my spirit be quiet before you, may you give me a heart of obedience. Things wont make me happy; only closeness with You will usher in the fulfillment for which I so desperately long. Forgive my thrashing about in blind desperation; illuminate the path of true blessings in your presence evermore.
Amen
