Rainy Day
Rainy day here in Florida this morning. It's cloudy, drizzly, dreary, & no sun. But, sometimes there must be clouds and rain before there is sun, this is the natural order of things. Without the balance of one we could not fully appreciate the other.
And, friends, such is life.
You may be having a particularly dreary and dreadful day today, or it could be a bright and sunny day full of goodness. You may be having a cold, dark, in the doldrums kind of day; or it could be a refreshing and beautifully warm day. While we cannot choose the weather, we can certainly choose our moods; and while we may justifiably be in difficult moods due to the happenings of life, we still have a choice of how we will deal with those times whether "good" or "bad".
We ALWAYS have a choice, friends. So, no matter what kind of a day it is for you, choose to approach it with the Lord and rely on Him, trust Him, pray to Him. Remember, today is temporary and whatever you're experiencing right now is temporary.
For those in tough places, there are bright days ahead; keep taking the next right step and you'll get there. For those in blissfully wonderful places, enjoy the moment and thank God for it; however, store up during these times so they will carry you through the tough times, go through the good with God as well and you'll be far better for it.
Whatever you do, do not let this moment - good or bad - cause you to lose sight of your heavenly goal. Remember that the Lord could come back at any time, your life could end at any time, and you will have no more chances to get things right; we will have to answer for all the deeds done in the flesh, whether they be good or evil in that last day. Control yourself today and lean on the Lord (Prov.3:5-6; Heb.4:11-16; Eccl.12:13-14).
Go through this life with God, friend, and live this day to the best of your ability (Jms.4:14-17; Matt.6:33-34). Heaven awaits the faithful, be one of them.
Thanks for dropping in.
