Think and Feel

Day One hundred thirty one: 30 day challenge. Day 13.

Passage. Psalm 43:1-5.

Thoughts.
"[The Psalms] vibrate with every emotion known to man. They speak of back-breaking pressures, deep valleys of depression, and times when life barely seems worth living. And yet the Psalms reveal that the only ultimate answer to trouble, grief, pain, and loss is a constant returning to God in worship and gratitude."

Gratitude is a way of life.

"Resolve not to let your joy level be determined by the presence or absence of storms, but by the presence of God."

Gratitude is a conscious decision.

Thank you, God, for the words, the ideas, the pain, the joy, the praise in the Psalms. I have turned to them and found comfort countless times. I have felt understanding; that You understand. They are full of emotion. Sometimes logic seems the right way to go. The better way. The Psalms remind me that you created me with emotions. They are not bad. I think and I feel. Thank you for both.





What's this about? I decided on my birthday to make a commitment to being intentionally thankful. I challenged myself to post one thing I am thankful for everyday this year.
