But I am trusting you, O Lord, saying, “You are my God!” My future is in your hands. Rescue me from those who hunt me down relentlessly. Psalm 31:14, 15 NLT
Yesterday was a tough day. My computer wasn’t working properly. I was uninspired while trying to write a long overdue newsletter. Everything seemed a great effort to do. Emotions were at a low level.
Today has started off better with a bit more drive and energy. I was actually reading Psalm 34 today but the 2 verses above, from Ps. 31, caught my eye. They seem to sum up my position these days. I feel a little lost about the future but am so thankful that it is in God’s hands. And I decide again and again to trust him. The enemies the verse talks about, for me, are the enemies within. My emotions can really be out of whack these days, too often for my liking, maybe it’s the age. In any case, I fight discouragement, undesirability, and listlessness, for example. Guarding my heart is essential as it is the wellspring of life – Prov. 4:23.
Please know that I have good days too!! And generally speaking, I’m so thankful for the life God has given me. My new “family” here in Poland gives me much joy and comfort.
I’m very glad today is a new day! And I can make good decisions for guarding my heart.
