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.

James 4:6-10

I’ve definitely felt convicted by this weekend’s Conference—convicted about my own halting obedience to God and prayerlessness and avoidance of suffering and self-pity and complaining spirit. This passage is a warning in no uncertain terms: humble yourself, purify your heart, draw near to God, and resist the devil. Don’t take God’s conviction lightly. It's time, by grace, to change.
