Minute Musings...A Burnt Toast Kind Of Day

Today has been just one of those days where you keep asking yourself..."Why did I even get
out of bed!"  You know the kind of day I'm referring to;  you start off by burning your toast,
then cut yourself while your trying to scrap the toast to make it fit to eat!  Then you sit down
to eat what remains of the toast, and proceed to spill your juice!  Yep...and the day just went
downhill from there.  Eventually I just started laughing, just who wrote the action scene for
this day?  I quickly realized that the One directing my day was the Lord. 

Psalms 37:23  "The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD:  and he delighteth
in His way."

Our days are pre-ordered by the Lord, and no matter what that day holds for us, we are to
delight in the way that the Lord has taken us.  Sometimes this is very hard to do.  Not every
day is peaceful and problem free.  In fact, most days hold challenges, obstacles and pressing
needs that can't be ignored.  So how can we delight in days that seem to beat us down before
we even get started?  By keeping our eyes on the Lord and His promises that He will always
be with us, to help and to guide.  Sometimes we act like we are traipsing through a wilderness
without a guide, scared of every step, every shadow...the unknown.  But we are in fact following
in the footsteps of the One who has framed our days, whom has walked this path before. 

So no matter what your day hold in store for you, learn to thank the Lord for it.  All things
that come our way are meant to teach us something, draw us closer to our Savior, and to
show to others that our God is faithful no matter what happens.

Proverbs 3:5 & 6  "Trust in the LORD with all thine heart:  and lean not unto thine
own understanding.  In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths."
