"Right is Always Right"

"My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the LORD." (Psalms 104:34)
I will liken it to the way we see Him providing for us, even when we do not feel provided for, even when it seems like things are dying on the vine, or the harvest never really happens. There is more to life than holding out for this or that to happen; there is more to our relationship with the Lord than material blessings. Have you ever found yourself basing your relationship with God on your material blessing? You know, when you feel that you are living right or wrong based upon how well you are being blessed? 'I must be doing something right, because God sure is blessing me!' Is that what you think? Always count your blessing, but do not ever count on them to gage your relationship with the Lord! It is not only wrong, but it will take you somewhere you never want to go. Think of it like you might think about your spouse, or your best friend; you are best off to only think about the good qualities they possess, and not thinking of any of the bad. Yet, how many times do we find ourselves doing just the opposite? 'If I could only change this little thing about them, then they would be perfect.' Maybe not what you do? Okay, my bad. Anywho; it is the challenge we have to make our meditations of the Lord "sweet," never bitter. When Jesus spoke about drinking His blood and eating His flesh, it was really more than most people who heard it could understand or deal with; but it is a lot like marriage or going into battle, you are not stepping into something half-hearted or with reservations; it is all or nothing! That is basically what those wedding vows are meant to represent; we change, our relationships grow apart; our lives get taken off track and we forget why we fell in love in the first place; but the vows addressed all of those issues, before they ever happened. Just because you could not see yourself feeling this or that, does not mean that the vow did not count. Can't see it? Okay, then here is the other illustration, the battlefield. Who would step onto the battlefield without the intention to fight? And if you are going to be willing to fight, who would not fight with all of their might? That is the meaning of "sweet!" It is more about pleasant and agreeable; to be willing to enter into the meditation receiving everything as pleasant, even if it might be bitter, and agreeable, even if we might disagree. There must be a oneness, and we are the ones who must bend and change, not the Lord...
"My child, eat honey, for it is good, and the honeycomb is sweet to the taste. In the same way, wisdom is sweet to your soul. If you find it, you will have a bright future, and your hopes will not be cut short. Don't wait in ambush at the home of the godly, and don't raid the house where the godly live. The godly may trip seven times, but they will get up again. But one disaster is enough to overthrow the wicked." (Proverbs 24:13-16) NLT
