Interesting thing happened yesterday morning. Well, to me it was interesting. I was rushing around, trying to get ready for work and a little behind (as usual). Of course, if I just got ready, it would be ok but you know us women...throw in a load of washing (and then have to take it out and hang it etc) or clean out a drawer because you can't find anything in it anymore, or do the dishes before you leave because you want a clean house on your return, OR you just can't make up your mind what to wear and so you try six different outfits on and then go with the first one!! Those little extra things you think you can do 'in a moment' and it turns out to ALWAYS make you later than you want to be. Oh, I was not late for work, just behind in 'my mental schedule' which causes me a bit of stress.
Anyway, the interesting part was that I was determined to do my devotions and spend a little time with God first thing. When I finally 'settled in' for my few minutes (aren't I just the good obedient child?!) I was feeling a little rushed! My thoughts were running around in my head and I just finally said out loud 'Lord, you know my confused thoughts - scattered hither and yon - please help to give me some peace." Well, that being said, I opened this book I bought recently called "Light for My Path for Grandparents". Page 24 read "In the multitude of my thoughts within me, thy comforts delight my soul." Psalm 94:19. I had not read that before in the bible so looked it up in my actual NIV bible and it reads the same - but different - "When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought joy to my soul."
Interesting eh? God meets you where you are. Just a thought!
