Random Snowflakes: paulit-ulit-ulit-ulit-ulit

Argh. I read this this short, simple sentence this morning just after waking up. And I can't get it out of my head.

Not that I'm trying, mind you.

And I'm not complaining, either.

I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.
Psalms 7:17

It sort of struck me as weird that even though I've heard and read this verse a hundred times already, this is the first time that it had this effect on me. That's why I knew I had to share it with everyone I know.

At first glance, it may seem that the verse's focus is on the "I". Hm. Then again, maybe it is. But for me, for today, the focus is on that four-letter word in caps.

The LORD.
It is HE that is righteous.
It's HIM that I will praise.
It's HIM that is most high.
And HE is pleased when I praise HIM.

It hit me like a 10-wheeler truck. Yes, we already know it, as we always sing it in church every week, and we hear it from our leaders and pastors all the time. But we have to be reminded every day.

Not just re-mind-ed, but re-heart-ed.

Yes, I know there is no such word in the English dictionary. Sue me.

But, really. We have to take it to heart every day. Every single second of every single minute of every single day. And when we take that truth to heart, you'll be like me, in one way or another: grinning like a giddy schoolgirl. Like that teen-ager whose long-time crush spoke to while he flashed his winning smile at her. Yeah, that's what I feel like right now.

Only better.

WAY better.
