It's Friday and I'm not happy!

I woke up with a little bit of headache and a stuffy nose not enough to do anything about but more than enough to be aggravating. Then comes the bus ride with students who add to the aggravation. Normally they are in a semi-catatonic state as it is early but not TODAY. Then off to a doctor’s appointment rescheduled from last Friday at the doctor’s request only to go to the wrong office. They redirected me (the doctor has moved offices) to the correct office and 30 minutes later after the appointment time the doctor comes in with less than wonderful news, aggravating. Have you had a day like that?

^1-2 O my soul, bless God.
    From head to toe, I’ll bless his holy name!
O my soul, bless God,
    don’t forget a single blessing!

^3-5 He forgives your sins—every one.
    He heals your diseases—every one.
    He redeems you from hell—saves your life!
    He crowns you with love and mercy—a paradise crown.
    He wraps you in goodness—beauty eternal.
    He renews your youth—you’re always young in his presence.

⁶    God makes everything come out right;
    he puts victims back on their feet. Psalm 103:1-6 The Message

Did you see the last line? I am a victim of my own mind. My happiness is of my own making. None of the above is too out of the ordinary for life. I’m not happy because it is happening to me, today. Yet, I read this Psalm this morning. Look at what He alone has done in verses 3-5. That is outrageous. That is amazing grace. That is amazing love.

I think I will make an adjustment and from head to toe I will bless God, O my soul. I am a victim of my own thoughts. GOD makes everything come out right.  

In HIS Service and Yours
