11 You have turned my mourning into dancing, you have stripped off my sackcloth and clothed me with joy.
12 So my heart will sing to you unceasingly, Yahweh, my God, I shall praise you for ever.
PSALM 30:11-12
Oh, well, look at that. A joyful reading, for once? Well, that's nice, thank you, God. Thank you for this foggy Monday morning and thank you for an awesome lunch. Thank you for letting me wake up this morning.
See, I know life gets rough and sometimes--particularly on Mondays--we just feel like AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH BLEEEEEERRRGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ASDFJKASDLFJASDFLJASJSDF. But we are alive. And God has given us all beautiful things. We just have to look hard sometimes. There is beauty all around us--and I do realize that sounds super cliched, but it is nevertheless true. We are blessed, in different ways and to different extents, but we are.
Let the Lord turn your mourning into dancing, and strip you from your sackcloth and clothe you with joy! Sometimes we need an attitude check, and God can help you turn that frown upside-down (WOW, I'm just full of cliches today).
But once we see the blessings in our lives, we want to praise the Lord at all times. Because life is beautiful and amazing and mind-blowing. And for all those things that are missing, well... God's there to fill in the blank. Ask Him to flood you with joy. Ask Him to mend the holes in your heart. Trust in His plan. Trust that He will get you through this. He is watching you.
