A REMINDER
Today's reading:  Psalm 42-44

"Why am I so discouraged?  Why so sad?  I will put my hope in God!  I will praise Him again--my Savior and my God!"  Psalm 42:5, Psalm 42:11, 43:5 NLT

(I am going on the assumption that if God wasn't to catch my attention with this one, He wouldn't have placed in my Bible reading three, count them, THREE, times!  I consider myself to pretty smart like that.)

Why am I so discouraged?  So sad?  What's my problem?  What in the great big world He's created has me so down-in-the-mouth?

What problem do I have that overwhelming my heart and mind?  What issues are turning my smile upside-down?  What tough time am I trudging through?

What happening has occurred that has taken my eyes of of Him and has allowed my doubt override my faith?

When has God ever let me down?

I've got to get my eyes back on Him.  I've got to re-wire my head.  I've got to revive my heart.  I've got to refresh my mind.  I've got to remind myself of Whose I am!

I'm gonna praise Him again!  I'm gonna lift His name up high!  I'm gonna place my focus squarely on Him, not on my circumstances!  I'm gonna keep an eye on my God--my Savior!
