I was paying bills today, and feeling kind of grumbly about it. So, I started praying thanksgivings for all the things I was paying for to try to turn my attitude around. I took my son to drop some of these bills off. And while we were driving around Building 429's song "Where I Belong" came on. Some of the lyrics are:
All I know is I'm not home yet.
This is not where I belong.
Take this world and give me Jesus.
This is not where I belong.
It was a really great reminder to "set your minds on things above, not on earthly things," as Colossians 3:2 tells us.
Anyway, The Lord always provides for us. I don't know what I really have to be grumbly about.
Later, I was opening the door of my van. Among the bushes to the side of my driveway, I spied a tall phlox shining it's bright violet color in all that shade, hiding from this summer of drought, blooming beautifully. It reminded me of the verse in Psalm 91:1 "He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty."
That's what I need to do....shine not whine. Rest in his Shadow. I remembered that earlier in the day I'd read the blog at aholyexperinece.com and on this day is was about abiding in God. And I thank God for his reminders and His shepherding of my heart for his name's sake. Blessed be the Lord.
