Are You Suffering With the Blahs?

Greetings!!!
Have you ever gotten up in the morning and just felt blah? Maybe  you feel like that today. There is nothing wrong with you physically. It is a beautiful day and the weather is good. Things are going well in your family. Although it may not be the best, your job and workplace are not the problem either. "It" is even making you feel like God is a million miles away, and that He does not care what is happening in your life. Whatever "it" is, you cannot quite put your finger on it, but it is making you feel sluggish and moody.

Psalm 77:1-14  jumped out to me like a neon sign.
My voice rises to God, and I will cry aloud; 
My voice rises to God, and He will hear me.
In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord; 
In the night my hand was stretched out without weariness; 
My soul refused to be comforted. 
When I remember God, then I am disturbed; 
When I sigh, then my spirit grows faint. 
Thou hast held my eyelids open; 
I am so troubled that I cannot speak. 
I have considered the days of old, The years of long ago. 
I will remember my song in the night; 
I will meditate with my heart; And my spirit ponders. 
Will the Lord reject forever? 
And will He never be favorable again? 
Has His lovingkindness ceased forever? 
Has His promise come to an end forever? 
Has God forgotten to be gracious? 
Or has He in anger withdrawn His compassion?  [Selah]
Then I said, "It is my grief, That the right hand of the Most High has changed."

I shall remember the deeds of the LORD; 
Surely I will remember Thy wonders of old.
I will meditate on all Thy deeds.
Thy way, O God, is holy; 
What god is great like our God?
Thou art the God who workest wonders; 
Thou hast made know Thy strength among the peoples.
Thou hast by Thy power redeemed Thy peoples.

It is really okay if you have the blahs today. The blahs come, and the blahs go. They seem to make their rounds to everyone once in a while. When those days come, and if today is one of those days, remember the works of the LORD in your life. If you have a relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ, that is the first and most amazing wonder in your life! Think about what God has done and how far He has brought you. Look around you at all the blessings God is pouring out on you today. Sing His praises! It will not be long until you are chasing the blahs away. 

The LORD bless you with remembering all the great and mighty things God has done for you.

I love you,
Ruth
