“Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of oil? shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?”
Will the Lord be pleased?
With our works, will, or attitudes? Will we hear “Well done, my good and faithful servant.” ???

“Behaved himself wisely:”
In the first post by this name we find David, in His youth being chosen by God, to be King of His Nation.
He was a “man after Gods own heart” and it mentions 4 times in 1 Samuel 18, that he “Behaved himself wisely.”
* He went where Saul sent him. (Into harms way, into battle and won).
* He went in and out among the people. (they knew and loved him and the “Lord was with him”; Saul was afraid of him).
* He behaved himself wisely: (Saul became his enemy, the people believed in and set store on his name).
He became a great king, a leader and lover of God.
Until he wasn’t.

GRIEVE NOT :
That’s really a pretty silly demand, you can hardly tell someone not to grieve the death of a loved one, or when seeing someone who had promise, fall away into sin or rebellion.
It hurts us in the center of our being. It makes us sorry, sad, disappointed or grieved.
We do have the power to stop the Lord from being grieved though.
The secret to putting a smile on Gods face:
My wife revealed it to me this morning. She lamented that she hadn’t spoken on the phone with Celeste, our daughter for 2 or 3 days.
That caused me to think of the joy I receive when she calls me to say Hi, how are you, I love you.
I am sure God receives joy when we just call on Him to tell Him we love Him, to thank Him for His many blessings. (When we aren’t asking or complaining ).
That’s it, tell Him you love Him, Thank Him. Praise and Worship. …THAT WILL MAKE GOD SMILE.

My wife told me this AM that I am reverting to my heritage. Negative City. I get it honestly, I don’t think my Mother ever ate a meal out, that was perfect.
The meat, tough, under or over cooked, or the vegetables raw, hard or soggy, tea too sweet, ect….
Unfortunately, I tend to be a lot like that, not about food but people who have the nerve to disagree with my enlightened views.
So to remedy the problem, I need to get back into the Word, Fast and Pray. Expecting the Lord to honor His Word, putting His Yoke on and walking with Him.
So yes, Fasting is a big part of the answer. I will humble myself and pray, waiting for His guidince, direction and protection. Knowing He hears our plea.
Lord, draw me close to You, thank You that in the Holy of Holies I will receive Grace and Mercy in my times of need.

What is lust? Is it only lust at first sight? Or is it a deeper, more serious problem, something we don’t grow out of?
1 John 2:16
King James Version (KJV)
“For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.”
When any of our desires become larger than our desire for the Lord, we find ourselves in trouble. I find myself desiring a pulpit, a following, as I do the mighty work of God.

” I have provided me a king “
The word of the Lord to Samuel after rejecting Saul as King. He chose David, because ” the Lord looketh on the heart.”
He chose David the Man after Gods own heart.
