Attitude adjustments

Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail.
23 They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. ~ Lamentations 3:23-24

I have found myself hitting the snooze button in the morning as of late.  I do not want to be disturbed from my slumber.  I am not yet ready to face the day.  If I am transparent, my days of work and toil are becoming burdensome. Yet I remember, as I asked the Spirit to convict me, to speak life.  To think on things that are good, so I switch my thinking around.

I do not have to go to work, I get to go to work.  I get to provide for myself and my family ( I keep Amazon happy.)  I do not  have to go to work, So many right now are not receiving pay or are struggling to find work that is steady. I get  a chance at work to speak into someone's life, to say good morning to a student.  I get to serve.

I don't have to wake up, I get to wake up.  I am blessed to have breath in my body and the use of of my limbs.  I may be slower than my youth, but I am still blessed to be above ground than beneath.  I do not have to get out of bed, I get to get out of bed and experience the world.  I could have been bed ridden.

I am not consumed.  My anxiety and struggles with depression have not conquered me because of the Lord's great mercy.  I experience His favor every day and I am grateful. Grateful to serve a faithful God.  A loving Father, who knows I need an attitude adjustment in the morning, a word from Him ( y daily bread).  So rather than a frown, I have a smile.  That's all God.

Thank You Lord for being great.  Thank You for being good.  Thank You for your compassion.  Thank You for Your love.  Bless your people during this shutdown.  In Jesus name, Amen
