Upright in heart

Psalm 32:11

Rejoice in the Lord and be glad, you righteous;
    sing, all you who are upright in heart!

I’m sure each and everyone one of us can think of a time when life was just full of stresses.  For me, this past week has been like that.  I was putting in extra hours at the beginning of the week to meet some deadlines, we had lots of things going in the evenings that still had to be taken care of like vet appointment, a CPR class that my husband had signed up for, and more. 

Top things off with my son complaining every day about having to go to day camp.  He kept saying he was being picked on and then yesterday some things happened and he ended up in some trouble. 

This just topped my stress levels off.  This morning, I sat down to read from my Bible and Psalm 32 was put before me.  It talks about David going through various things and the Lord protecting him.  Verse 11 is what really stood out to me, if we are upright in heart, we have reason to rejoice.  Even through all of the stresses of life, our God is always there, always giving us strength and protecting us. 


For that, today I will rejoice.  My prayer for you today is that even if you’ve been dealing with various stresses and trials, rejoice in the Lord as you are still upright in heart.
