Made Up Mind

If the only reason I rejoice is that God has made this day today its my resolve, my chosen choice that I be glad in Him this way. How can I be downcast when I know that certain joy comes in the morning the storms of yesterday blown over and with the sun, new mercies dawning? If my only reason to do good is that my God is good to me then this is my calling and my cause, to reveal His nature for all to see. What higher honour then to give Him glory, what better mindset then the Lord set before me? If my only reason to pursue Him is that to do His will in all things then even my will to be submitted and my soul to praise the King of all kings. For only to enter at His gate and only to dwell within His courts is healing for the nations and joy for the mourning whom always His love and justice have sought. If we would hear Him, we would be admonished if we would listen, our city restored so let us gather together to worship before the Almighty, forever our Lord. Leave behind your idols, cast them off from you take no pleasure in wickedness, and God shall make all things new.
