Molasses

Do you ever have one of those days when you feel like you are wading through molasses?

Cold molasses at that!

It is one of those days for me and honestly I have felt like it would be impossible to move forward when my feet felt stuck. Going through challenges can be tiring. I've spent the last two days praying for a fallen sister who has wandered far away from God. And I have felt God's sweet presence when I invited Him into my struggle. This morning I began to combat the feelings of sorrow... like fighting to free myself from shackles on my feet.

And my devotional today read:

"When you focus on what you don't have or on situations that displease you, your mind also becomes darkened. You take for granted life, salvation, sunshine, flowers, and countless other gifts from Me. You look for what is wrong and refuse to enjoy life until that is "fixed". Bring me the sacrifice of thanksgiving and the Light of My Presence pours into you..."

God knows just what we need. We only need to ask Him for wisdom and peace.

I thought someone else might be having a "molasses day" and could use some encouragement to shake loose and praise Him!

So get out of the sticky sorrow and dance in HIS PRESENCE!
