Have you ever had one of those days where nothing seemed to go quite right? One of those days where you knew for sure you were going to reach your breaking point and either be committed to the closest mental hospital or incarcerated?
Today was one of those days for me. I was almost late for work, left my phone on top of the car and it broke, I didn't sleep very well, disappointed by a phone call, and it seemed I had the weight of the world on my shoulders. As I was driving to work, I thought about the story of Job. A man who not only had a very bad day, but had a few bad days or even months of a series of horrible events (Job 7:3). Job lost his wealth, his children, his health, and it got so bad his wife even told him to just curse God and die! When I thought about this particular book in the bible I looked at the man Job, a man who loved God and still stood strong in his faith. When we are in our darkest hour rather it's a bad day, having an argument with a loved one, confusion, can't seem to make ends meet, or even a health problem we must remember that Psalms 121:1 says, "I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help." Looking toward the hills means to look up. So many times when we are in distress we try to find a way out either in ourselves, friends, material things, or temporary solutions instead of looking up towards our Creator who is the the ultimate problem solver. Allow God to speak to you and listen to his voice. He may give you the peace you need to get through your situation, or the revelation to give you understanding as to why you are going through this season of difficulty.
