2 Corinthians 7:5 For when we came into Macedonia, this body of ours had no rest, but we were harassed at every turn--conflicts on the outside, fears within. 6 But God, who comforts the downcast, comforted us by the coming of Titus, 7 and not only by his coming but also by the comfort you had given him.
I had a bad dream last night. And I woke up this morning feeling worried, rather than hopeful, which was the way I went to bed. That feeling usually does not last long and I am glad I opened the Bible today because I got to these scriptures.
I am thankful that my worries usually cannot stick with me for that long. I have too much going on in any given day and I have to let my mind focus on what is in front of me. But I am also thankful that I have God's Word, which reminds me of that phrase, "But God...." But God gives me daily distractions. But God gives me friends who cheer me up, understand me, and know when I need to talk and when being quiet is better. But God gave me a husband and kids who are so wonderful and keep me laughing and full. And my "But God" list could go on and on.
When I just look around, I see all that God has provided for me and I am comforted that He sees me. He sees my heart's desires, He sees my fears, He sees all that goes on around me. And He knows just what I will need to keep peace in my head and heart. I cannot imagine living my life without Him.
