Have you ever just woken up in a funk, where everything seems blah? I did this morning. Nothing was wrong, exactly, but nothing seemed right. I tried to read my email, that didn’t help. I glanced over the front page of msn.com and not a thing looked interesting.
I glanced over at my Bible that was lying quietly on a shelf, waiting patiently for me to get back to it. Under normal circumstances, I read my Bible every day, but lately, while in a mad dash to submit my book to agents, I had been putting God on a back burner. Apologizing profusely to the Lord for doing such a terrible thing, I picked up my Bible and opened it up to where I had left off. This will be the third time I’ve read the Bible from beginning to end. The reason why I do this is so I can read everything from beginning to end and see how awesome that God really is, how faithful He really is, how true to His Word He always has been and always will be, and how much He really does love us.
I picked up my Bible and read Psalm 30 and 31 and now everything’s right again. Reading anything in my Bible has always made me feel better, no matter what's going on. It makes me feel closer to God. It reminds me that He's always with me no matter where I am.
Until next time...
