Bro's 1st Benefit of Eating Like a Horse

Okay, so you wanted to hear about my Bro!!! (why?)

I don't know what you wanted to hear about him, and I thought I would spare you (and him) any embarrassing 2nd grade stories and just give you a little video I took of him a while back. Please excuse the sideways-ness (heehee), I was not at all thinking about a blog when I took this video, just having fun with my Bro. (The background music wasn't planned either! :)

Be sure to pause the ipod so that you can hear it.

Psalm 89:15-18


Blessed are the people who know the joyful sound!

They walk, O LORD, in the light of Your countenance.

In Your name they rejoice all day long,

And in Your righteousness they are exalted.

For You are the glory of their strength,

And in Your favor our horn is exalted.

For our shield belongs to the LORD,

And our king to the Holy One of Israel.

Four Questions

What cries out for the living God?

What thirsts for the living God?

What shall I see in the land of the living?

Why may I walk before God in the light of the living?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

If you know the answers, please post them. :) Then there is one more question we must all ask:

Is it true??

This is how it is meant to be! I was reading Psalm 84, and when I got to verse 2 I suddenly thought: Is this true? Right now, in my life, is this really true? Oh sure my heart cries out for You, God. But my flesh?! My flesh cries out for anything and everything but the living God! Can flesh really cry out for You? I want it to be so. Let it be so! God, make my flesh and my heart and every fiber of my being cry out for You and be filled with You so that nothing is left of me, but all You!

The life that God wants us to live is shown so clearly in His living Word. There are so many promises and blessings that He is just waiting to pour out on us, if we would just turn to Him, cry out to Him, wait on Him. So many times I get too comfortable and think that this is the closest that I will ever get to Him, the most I will ever see of Him. But that is not true! He has so much more--- if I will just press closer to Him and draw near to Him, then He will draw near to me!
