"Sweet To Him"

"May my meditation be sweet to Him; I will be glad in the LORD."  (Psalm 104:34)

Autumn is my favorite time of the year.  Trouble is, it lasts such a short time.  You try to make it last, but, alas, all too soon it is gone.  How much of life seems to be like this.  The best things go so quickly.  The bad things last so long. 

The psalmists prays that his "meditation be sweet to Him...."  This is sweet meditation indeed.  It is not "sweet" inner dialogue, discovery or finding of one's self.  This is "meditation...to Him," the Living Triune God revealed solely in Jesus Christ.  This is, "bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ...."  And this meditation, as Psalm 4 says, puts "gladness in my heart, more than in the season that their grain and wine increased."

So much of spiritual endeavors are about us---- worship, preaching, teaching, service, etc.  "What a great worship time, what great teaching, what great mission trip."  Nay, rather, "I wonder how all of this is "sweet to Him."  The psalmist had the heart of God------- "to Him."  Whatever you think and do today, take this attitude with you----- "May my (everything) be sweet to Him." 

Father, in Jesus' Name, too much of my life has been a search for what is "sweet to" me.  May all from now on be "sweet to [You]."  Amen.
