Day 185

I mentioned before that I call myself an idiot a lot. For me it is a reality check on myself. Psalm 43 verse 5 is another reality check. It says, "Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God..."

This is a reality check asking why am I depressed and why am I not at peace? I have a God that can do all things and is all powerful. Why am I sad? Why am I not at peace?

I know I do not live in constant happiness and peace and I also know that it is my fault. All I have to do is trust. I do not embrace the Lord's joy and peace as I should. I like this verse because it asks, why not? Why not?

I need to pursue the joy and peace the Lord offers with being His child. I need to trust Him. It all boils down to trust.
