LIGHT & JOY
Today's reading: Psalm 96-98

"Light shines on the godly, and joy on those who do right." Psalm 97:11 NLT

My mind goes to the long-eared, depressed donkey from Winnie the Pooh...

Eeyore sulked through the Hundred Acre Wood with a rain cloud usually hanging over him.

He spoke, in a slow and monotone voice, negatively about life, his circumstances and what he believed would happen next.

His pinned-on tail usually dragging the ground as often as his bottom lip.

Eeyore is who I don't want to be.

Even on my worst days. The days when I do want to throw a pity party and invite all my friends, well at least all the friends I have who would allow me to wallow in self pity and grumble and groan.

It's not who God wants me to be either, so He surrounds me with His light and His joy.

Others should see it.

The world should notice it.
