Some days we just need a little encouragement, something to pick us up out of the gloom that threatens to choke us. Today is one of those days for me. I've noticed that the points in my life when I tend to be the most sad or depressed are the points at which I am most focused on myself. This is not always true, but I am an expert in throwing myself pity-parties. So, this morning, when I started thinking those thoughts that seem to love to run around in my head, I turned to the Word instead. I found myself in Psalm 90 as I flipped it open. It was one of those times where I found just what I needed.
"Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love,
that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.
Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us,
for as many years as we have seen trouble.
May your deeds be shown to your servants,
your splendor to their children.
May the favor of the Lord our God rest upon us;
establish the work of our hands for us-
yes, establish the work of our hands."
Psalm 90:14-17
