How is your faith feeling? Tested, tried, and tired? I have days like this; and don't always know how to deal with it. My feelings takeover sometimes. I might wake up feeling miserable, mad, ungrateful, begrudged. Maybe it is my hormones in overdrive which sends my emotions every which way. It don't matter what makes me unusually cranky that day, it just makes for a very bad day! The trick for me is the energy it takes to snap out of this slump - I pray with a wrong attitude; I greet my family sourly; I drink my coffee with a frown; ecetera.
Throughout the day, I am seeking for a 'rainbow in the sky' to rejuvenate my hope. A rainbow is a sign of hope that God's promises are sure.
So, although I woke up on the wrong side of faith, and my circumstances stink, God is yet faithful. He remembered me. He let His sun rise to greet me. He kept my family safe as we slept. He provided us with food for the day. His love travels with me throughout the day as a companion to my soul. He does not leave when the difficult situations come.
Did you know that Jesus advocates on our behalf and the Holy Spirit groans in prayers for us?!! I am encouraged to know this.
FEELINGS, SMEELINGS...
