I woke up this morning in a rather foul mood. I can't explain it. Things are bothering me that didn't bother me yesterday, and they were still the same yesterday as they are today. I was fine with some issues that I knew I couldn't resolve and needed to be patient for God to resolve. Today, I am angry and bitter about them. What happened to the peace I had yesterday?
I am worried about things. I am thinking about how I feel. I am tired and ready to plop down on the sofa and be a couch potato and not do anything. I don't want to talk to people right now even though I know I should be sharing the love of Christ to everyone all the. How can I do that when I don't feel very loving? What is going on with me?
I know what is wronng with me...I am focused on me. I should be focused on God! As soon as I start looking inward instead of upward, life starts to suck! I read these verses this morning, and they are screaming about where I should be focused!
Isaiah 6:1-3
1In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord, high and exalted, seated on a throne; and the train of his robe filled the temple. 2Above him were seraphim, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying. 3And they were calling to one another:
“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty;
the whole earth is full of his glory.”
Isaiah 57:15
15For this is what the high and exalted One says—
he who lives forever, whose name is holy:
“I live in a high and holy place,
but also with the one who is contrite and lowly in spirit,
to revive the spirit of the lowly
and to revive the heart of the contrite.
God is holy. So holy that the word "holy" is repeated three times. Some say it is repeated three times because of the trinity. Either way, God is perfect and has a perfect, loving plan for me and everyone else. This gives me reason to be happy. I am the lowly that God will revive and He will revive my dead and bitter heart if I an contrite...sorry I have taken control from Him...sorry for only focusing on me.
Father, please, please, help me to stay focused on you, not me! In Jesus' Christ name I pray. Amen
