What a weird morning.
I just feel blah.
I woke up late,
but I guess I needed the sleep,
but
I don't feel refreshed.
So I take inventory
Why am I so restless?
And there is no answer.
So
I continue to focus on the restlessness,
because I want it to go away.
And
then all I can hear
is the ringing in my ears.
Hmm..
now that is the problem
because my focus is on
What I don't want to feel
on
What I don't want to hear.
Therefore,
I will keep feeling it
and I will keep hearing it
if that is where my focus is.
Hmm....
Thank you God.
I get it.
Just
Look Up.
When things look bleak and gray
and you don't know what to do
Look Up~
"Look at Him; give Him your warmest smile. Never hide your feelings from Him.
When I was desperate, I called out, and God got me out of a tight spot." ~Psalm 34:5-6
When things look sunny and bright
and you do know what to do
Look Up~
"Open your mouth and taste,
open your eyes and see— how good God is. Blessed are you who run to Him." ~Psalm 34:8
Because
No matter what you are feeling
No matter what are doing
No matter what is not happening or happening in your life
Look Up
because
"The eyes of the LORD search the whole earth
in order to strengthen those whose hearts are
fully committed to Him." ~2 Chronicles 16:9a,
I get it
"Summing it all up, friends, I’d say you’ll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious—
the best,
not the worst;
the beautiful,
not the ugly;
things to praise,
not things to curse."
~Philippians 4:8 The Message
The ringing in my ears is still ringing,
but now I smile
because it is all
Up
from here.
From Down to Up
From Rags to Riches
