Psalms from a Mother's Heart.......

Psalms 50....
RECOGNIZING GOD'S RICHES FOR MOTHER'S.
Mothers day is here again.A second year for me as a mother.I pay tribute to all the mothers(esp mine)*...wink,wink...*and to all mothers to be.Today i blog from the book of Psalms.This book gives me great inspiration throughout its chapters....
So often,God, i bargain with you."If you will just do this and that...."and all the small empty promises escape my lips.I think i can somehow influence You to do my will.
Then, you remind me of your Majesty,how you speak and the sun rises at Your voice,how the moon,the stars and planets rush to do Your will.
Forgive me Father,for trying to contain You in my tiny sphere of influence.Forgive me Father,for acting like a selfish child.
I see many blessings You have given:a healthy child,a good man,family,life....why do i always feel dissatisfied,wanting something more,some added blessing,assuming it will feel the emptiness i feel?
Is it becoz i have forgotten my heritage in You?Have i failed to claim the wealth You give me in Your son or overlooked the riches of Your grace?
Forgive me when i focus on this world and its agenda,forgetting i am a citizen of another realm.Let me give thanks to You for Your mercy and turn my eyes upon Your all sufficency.
Let me sing with joy hymns of thanksgiving and raise Your name before my family with praise.
Rescue me from the sinking sand of selfishness and set me on the rock of Your greatness that i might honour You and live out Your salvation-everyday.
