Getting Glad in God

George Mueller wrote: “The first great and primary business to which I ought to attend every day is to have my soul happy in the Lord. The first thing to be concerned about every day is not how much I might serve the Lord, how I might glorify the Lord; but how I might get my soul into a happy state.” Following his example, I attempt to begin each day reading, praying over, and meditating on Scripture to get my heart satisfied in God. This blog is a record of God’s response to my efforts.

Isaiah 64:4

This verse has been a favorite for several years, but I still love meditating on it. I love how it highlights the uniqueness of our God. I also love what it is about our God that sets Him apart from others: He acts on the behalf of His people. All the rival gods that vie for my worship today—comfort, affirmation, money, etc.—none of these will actually go to work for me. Instead, they require me to work for them. But my God is one who “acts for those who wait for Him.” Wait on God!
