Having the ability to think sure is a blessing. But sometimes it sure can send you on a downward spiral. *sigh Why is it that there are "just some things" that when you start to think on them, can leave you so anxious, angry, and drained??!
Isn't that just like the enemy of our soul to put a thought into our mind that leaves us "just a bit twisted"?
That very thing has happened to me tonight. So much so that I was beginning to not even want to take on the duties of tomorrow (should we all still be here anyway...afterall....the rapture could take care of it all).
So with that in mind, I couldn't help but send a few requests Heaven-ward. Request like:
"God, help me!"
"God, why did I let this get me so aggitated?!"
"Lord, I need you now!"
Stuff like that. I was so aggitated that I could literally feel the tension building up in my shoulders and neck. Now that's bad. Here I sit, sweating the small stuff, and needing a chiropractor now. LOL
So with my pleas being sent Heaven-ward I thought I'd also go to my Master's Word. The Bible. Here is what I read....
Psalm 32:11 Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart
Psalm 64:10 The righteous shall be glad in the Lord, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.
Now I can go to bed in a much better frame of mind. I've been re-minded to think of God's joy. I've been re-minded to think on how trustworthy HE is. I've been re-minded to mind the things that bring me my true joy. I know that He holds it all in His hands. My every day. My every night. My every circumstance. My every trial. My every aggrivation. My Lord holds my every happiness. When I place things in HIS hands, not one thing formed against me shall prosper! I'm glad. So glad. Glad I know the Lord. He's my Comforter. He's my Guide. He's my Councellor. He is my Friend. This is why I can be JOYFUL!! Because He LIVES I can face tomorrow.
