"Habit, if not resisted, soon becomes necessity."
St. Augustine
I am sitting here with a mug of tea, it is 9am and I am intent on updating this blog daily, to make it a habit, and hopefully a necessity.
I had a great visit with the children last night; it is always so good to see them.
Read a sermon by Mr Spurgeon the Sabbath just past on Psalm 37, v.4.
“Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.”
I have had much delight in the Lord recently. Delight in such simple things, a great peace and joy with much comfort within. Delight in His word, and in His providence. I am learning to be content with His Will, to fully trust and know for sure that the good work that he has begun in me WILL be performed until the day of Jesus Christ.
My desires are the salvation of my children, of Sarah, my parents, brothers and sister and their families, my friends and work colleagues.
The desire to know Jesus
The desire to be turned from this world, to be subdued to His Will
The desire to bring forth fruit and for this work - my writing, to be blessed
The desire not to be scared to speak about gospel truths and of the ways of the Lord - His goodness, mercy and wonderful providence.
I also have another desire, but this is a desire of self; to have my own house once again, in North West Sutherland, overlooking the sea. But this is covetousness I fear.
