• Psalm 16:7-8
  "I will praise the LORD , who counsels me;
      even at night my heart instructs me.
  I have set the LORD always before me.
      Because he is at my right hand,
      I will not be shaken."

  I have started a blog entry a few times in the past few days, but never been able to finish it-for one reason or another. I keep coming back to this Psalm, because of these two verses (above).
  "I have set the Lord always before me"--this is pretty incredible task for anyone. To think...setting the Lord before you no matter what you are doing-this automatically would irradicate all selfishness and pride becuase you would be running your every thought through the filter of Jesus Christ before you. When I see this verse I actually picture myself looking to Christ who I imagine is actually in front of me...kinda a weird thought, but if I actually PUT CHRIST BEFORE ME like that, I am sure I would be a different person. It actually is blowing my mind...right now...
  David says, "even at NIGHT my heart instructs me" (emphasis mine).
  Even in his sleep...

  wow
