It's a bad, I mean, good day!

Your throne, O God, will last forever and ever.Psalm 45:6

Have you ever had a day, or maybe even a season, where nothing went right?

A time when you thought something just had to "give" or you were going to explode? Have you ever felt like the bottom was dropping out beneath you and you just weren't sure how things were going to end up? This week I had a day where I felt the most vulnerable I have felt in a long time. Through silent tears and some questions directed to God, I laid down in my bed and this song from FFH popped into my head.

However long our feet have walked on this world,

We've all lived long enough to know

That sometimes life will go our way and other times it won't.

But still I've got this joy inside of me,

with each new dawn I do believe. To

Say hey, it's a good day,

Even if things aren't going my way.

Jesus is Lord and I am saved.

So, say hey, it's a good day.

Circumstances and situations change.

You know life can turn on a dime.

But there's a constant hope and peace

That I have come to find.

And it's all because of who God is

And that He is alive and I am His. So

Say hey, it's a good day,

Even if things aren't going my way.

Jesus is Lord and I am saved.

So, say hey, it's a good day.

We are all as happy as we make our minds up to be.

I have just decided that nothings gonna take this joy from me.

Whatever we are facing today, we aren't facing it alone. We have One who is sitting on the throne, who is Alive and Victorious, and holding us in the palm of His hands. Life can be crumbling down around us in some form or fashion, but the truth is that He is the foundation that never gives way. Because of who He is and that He calls us His, we can rest in knowing this truth above all else. It's gonna be a good day.

Lord, You are all that matters. You are my Foundation. You are the reason I live and sing. Fill my heart and mind with Your Peace and Presence today that I rest in nothing else but You. Amen.
