After a pleasant weekend, everything turns back to normal on a Monday. I find people give their worries a day or two off over a weekend. Monday is the day when the cycle starts all over again, or is this just with me? I seem to have a weekend break on all my daily problems. I kind of relax and every now and then feel like things are going to work out for the best.
This week starts with all the usual problems. I know this is going to be a rough week.
Turning to Jesus and reading a piece out of Psalms, I know this week is going to be a great week.
My problems is nothing compared to other peoples problems, but to me they are huge. I realized this morning again that I need to change my focus. God is my provider.
Psa 30:1-12 I praise you, LORD, because you have saved me and kept my enemies from gloating over me.
(2) I cried to you for help, O LORD my God, and you healed me;
(3) you kept me from the grave. I was on my way to the depths below, but you restored my life.
(4) Sing praise to the LORD, all his faithful people! Remember what the Holy One has done, and give him thanks!
(5) His anger lasts only a moment, his goodness for a lifetime. Tears may flow in the night, but joy comes in the morning.
(6) I felt secure and said to myself, "I will never be defeated."
(7) You were good to me, LORD; you protected me like a mountain fortress. But then you hid yourself from me, and I was afraid.
(8) I called to you, LORD; I begged for your help:
(9) "What will you gain from my death? What profit from my going to the grave? Are dead people able to praise you? Can they proclaim your unfailing goodness?
(10) Hear me, LORD, and be merciful! Help me, LORD!"
(11) You have changed my sadness into a joyful dance; you have taken away my sorrow and surrounded me with joy.
(12) So I will not be silent; I will sing praise to you. LORD, you are my God; I will give you thanks forever.
Reading Psalm 30, I realized there need to be a change inside me.
1. I will not be silent
2. I will sing praise
3. I will give thanks
This brings me back to where my focus is. Is my focus on God or on my Monday problem planner?
I have the choice to choose my focus.
