I am having one of those days. One where, my spirit is heavy and my mind is clouded. It is nothing HUGE, just one of those "blue" days. Like that verse in Ps. 42... "Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God."
If I went on my emotions, I would be up and down by the hour, and if I counted on my world to stay "steady" I would never have security. My hope is in my God. The ONLY never changing thing around me. He is a solid rock, one that will never leave me alone or weak. When I was at the coast I saw these rocks, in the ocean, being constantly hit and covered with waves, only to re-appear still standing strong, no matter what came they were there. It reminded me of my Lord and His faithfulness to me. No matter what happens in my life He is strong enough to ALWAYS be there. Although these sad days will come, still I have this "Hope" and I am grateful for that.
We were out working in the garden earlier and Ben was talking about the corn plants. I told him that God made the plants and gave them to us. He turned to Hannah and said "sissy, look what God made"!!! It was cute, but so true. It made me remember when we got Ben and then got Hannah....when we took them out to meet people at church or around, I would say "Look what God did!!!!!" I remember being so excited! (it makes me excited just thinking about those wonderful days of getting our babies) So why has that changed? It does not have to be a HUGE BIG GIFT of a baby to see His wonderful blessings!! Our corn plants are wonderful blessings!! My boy who recognized our Creator, is a blessing!! Why am I not saying "look what God did!!" What a lesson.
Why is my spirit cast down, because I am human, but even bigger than that, I am a child of the KING!! And because of that, my hope is in Him. I can feel this "down" feeling, and still know that no matter what I still have hope! All I have to do is look around and say "look what God did!!!" I may feel blue for the moment, but that will pass and I know who holds tomorrow.
