I love the book of Psalms. And so it is today that I turn to Psalms to focus on praising God. It’s all about him. Singing inspires me and this morning I need a little inspiration to get me motivated to go for my mile walk. I’ve heard it said that it takes 21 days to form or break a habit so I am determined to make it 21 days of walking so that it becomes my normal. I bought a “Fit Bit” the day before my walking began. The Fit Bit is a pedometer that does more than just measure how many steps you take or how many miles you walk. But, that is primarily what I am using it for at the moment. My goal originally was 3,500 steps a day. But I have noticed that I reach well over 4,000 steps a day and know that I need to stretch my goal. So I am now striving for 6,000 steps a day. My first mile, at around 3,500 steps, begins at the mile-long trail that I’ve been walking. And although the first week still brought me some burning sensations in my calves, yesterday was a little less burn. And so I shout for joy to God that he is blessing me with retirement and that I now have more time to walk every day so that I get back into shape. Psalms 66:1-4 “Shout with joy to God, all the earth! 2Sing the glory of his name; make his praise glorious! 3Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds! So great is your power that your enemies cringe before you. 4All the earth bows down to you; they sing praise to you, they sing praise to your name.” Selah
