I am feeling kinda blah today. Vacation is definitely over. I can barely remember what the beach looks like and the feeling of restfulness has passed by. It is foggy outside and later it will be hot and humid. I feel foggy on the inside and blah!

How do we get into these conditions?

Nothing bad has happened, no-one has hurt my feelings. I am exercising and eating right.
Sleep isn't an issue.

Why? Why do I feel this way?????

Sometimes it just is. Perhaps it is the let down of the vacation excitement, or the knowledge that the fall is right in front of me. Maybe I have taken my eyes off of Jesus? Maybe my hormones are out of whack! All I know is that I can't seem to shake it off.

There is only one thing, One person who can prescribe for me the antidote for my condition. God!

Scripture tells us how we can be glad. Focus on God and what he has done.

• Trust in the Lord with all of your heart and lean not on your own understanding, in all of your ways acknowledge him and he will direct your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6

• My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. Psalm 73:26

• Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God. My soul is downcast within me; therefore I will remember you from the land of the Jordan, the heights of Hermon—from Mount Mizar. Psalm 42:5-6

• Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth." The LORD Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah Psalm 46:10-11

• The LORD is good a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in him Nahum 1:7

• Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past.
  See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland. Isaiah 43:18-19

• Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God: trust also in me. Luke 14:1

• May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13

God's word has a way of setting me right. I filled up and re-directed. The fog begins to lift as I soak myself in His word, in His thoughts in His will.

It's gonna be a great day after all.

Father,

Your word is true and able to reach me where nothing else can. It fulls me with joy and gladness to be in your presence. There is truth in your word that re-directs me and sets my feet on solid ground. Your Word changes my focus and my attitude. thank you for giving us the gift of your word. Fill me Holy Spirit with your truth and love till overflowing. May I be a ReFlection of your word today.
