Psalm 43:5 (New King James Version)
5 Why are you cast down, O my soul?
And why are you disquieted within me?
Hope in God;
For I shall yet praise Him,
The help of my countenance and my God.
Well okay, I was having a really rough way to go for about 24-36 hours. The blues had set in and I’ve been struggling hard against bitterness and depression. But thankfully the Lord answered the prayers through various sources. Encouragement from several people, reminders of the blessings in my life, and then that verse from Psalm 43 is on my calendar for today. It is a cute, verse a day calendar my mom gave me. I really need to start reading it in the morning rather than when I get home, this one would have been good for me today.
And I heard this song, and it made a huge difference. It always does, it is a GREAT, worshipful song. And it is very hard to be anything but filled with joy when praising God. I just need to keep my focus on Him, remembering that there are no mistakes, everything that comes my way is because God has allowed it for a reason. My life is blessed beyond measure and I need to stay in the Word and in a state of mental worship and prayer. The video will give you the link to actually watch it on youtube, it is worth it for the beautiful song.
