We have a tendency to focus on the negative. I just spent 35 hours either in an airport or plane with plenty of delays and surprises. I could focus on the negative but I choose to focus on the fact that I am in one of the most beautiful places on God's earth.
Switchfoot tells us to remember that we cannot see a shadow without the sun.
Oh Lord why did you forsake me
Oh Lord don’t be far away, away
Storm clouds gathering beside me
Please Lord don’t look the other way
I’m a crooked soul trying to stay up straight
Dry eyes in the pouring rain, when
The shadow proves the sunshine
The shadow proves the sunshine
We all feel forsaken like there are only shadows in our lives:
But You, O Lord , be not far off; O You my help, hasten to my assistance. (Psalms 22:19 NASB)
Let us remember that instead of complaining about the shadows, we should rejoice in sun.
