As the day comes to a close and I am lying in bed, my unsettled mind thinks on the events of recent days gone by. Lately, some of my responses have not been the best. I have been angry and feeling defeated. I have beaten myself up because I allowed my feelings to get the best of me. Frankly, I have failed but there is a turn around. God’s perspective.
Life happens and how we choose to react is up to us. Do we see things favorably or in a way that causes anger, disappointment, rejection and ultimately regret? Each day contains a chance for us to have peace and joy. It is our mantle to remain there. We do not have to be defeated. We do not have to be offended. We do not have to feel jealous, confused, fearful, hurt, or anything that does not reflect love. We can respond with grace. We can see people or circumstances from God’s vantage point. It is all up to us.
Even if we fail and I know I have, we can always dust ourselves off and commit to doing better. God is faithful. He is a very present help. He knows your desire to live by His will. God will do what is necessary and is shaping us up to be like Jesus. It gives me hope that He is there to help me.
The web of my brain intertwined
Tickling my eardrum
Beating my spirit
Determined not to yield
Raging inside like a volcano
Tempered anger
Will not I live?
By the word of God
Yes, I decree
A bold soldier I stand
On a bedrock
Time lapses on
March in step
With the Spirit of the Lord
My closest friend
