Today I was struck by the Psalm 118:24 verse. I know this verse inside and out, I sing it to my kids throughout the day. But today God hit me with a profound part of this verse that I knew but never took note of. I always took the verse as I rejoice in the day b/c God made it. But today I also realized that I'm rejoicing and I'm also supposed to be glad. And there are no pre-qualifications on it. It is not dependent on how well my day is going. I am glad and rejoicing, no matter what!
How in the world is it possible to do this on those days when Bella is whining and playing selfishly. Caiden is crawling after me whining all day and Ada is yelling out and screaming because she is angry. And I still have all the house work to do? This is what I learned also:
1. This day was brought to me by my loving Father. He didn't forget me and my needs and accidentally handed me a hard day. He knows what I need and when I need it.
2.He also doesn't leave me on my own to figure it out. Like Phil. 4:13 said, It is CHRIST who helps me through my day. I tell Bella this ALL day, after she has been disciplined, is having a complaining spirit, does not want to share, etc. I tell her ask Jesus to help you. He loves you and wants to help you do the hard things. Wow if I only told MYSELF that more often!
