We have all had them days where we just wake up feeling like well…..you know…blah blah blah. Them days where nothing is really wrong you just wake up feeling down. Well today I woke up feeling this way. Nothing really wrong just fighting the blues. However just because I woke up this way it doesn’t mean I have to stay this way.
As I was driving to work this morning feeling like this big dark cloud was hovering over me I notice a car in front of me going 20 miles an hour. In their defense it was snowing roads but feeling the way I did to me that was no excuse. So I started getting irritated and yelled “oh my gosh move it”…..(I am sure you have never done that LOL) Then the moment I said that God brought to memory ….”I have blessed you with a four-wheel drive to go in the snow, please be patient with them they have a two-wheel drive they are driving safe.” Put me in my place He did. Immediately I ask God to forgive me and then began to thank him for all the things he has blessed me with, especially His forgiveness, grace and mercy.
I know there are plenty of days that we could just go on and on complaining but why???? I am learning to see the good in any day. Sometimes not an easy thing to do in this world and day and time. But we have a chance!!!!!! One of my favorite verses in the bible is when David was down…..he said ” Why are you cast down , oh my soul? Hope in the Lord.” Psalm 42:5. Basically what he was saying was David why are you so down…God is with you, put your hope your day in Him……. That’s what I said to myself Darlene why are you so down…God is with you and things are gonna be great today. Stand tall put a smile on your face and let the word know you serve a good God who has been so good to you.”
Heavenly Father, I know sometimes my moods are completely undesirable….and for that I am sorry. You have blessed far beyond what I could ever think or dream. You have kept me safe and healthy. You reached down and loved me even when I did not love myself. You saved me from an eternity of suffering and gave me a future with you. Lord I am so thankful so thankful so help me Lord to see your blessings in everyday, help me choose to Hope in You…..every single day. In Jesus name Amen
