Why Didn’t I Think Of That?

Psalm 6 starts out by saying:

O Lord, do not rebuke me in thine anger, nor chasten me in thy wrath. Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am pining away. Heal me, O Lord, for my bones are dismayed. And My soul is greatly dismayed; But thou, O Lord,–how long?

That was just the way I felt as I woke up this morning, only I didn’t call on the Lord to help me. Anyhow, my bones were dismayed and my soul was greatly dismayed!

Then, I looked out my window on this bright late September morning. The sun was shining just as it does in early fall. I can’t explain it, Probably God gives an extra shine to the leaves on the trees which have a little color on them now. The whole world seems to be brighter than my bones or soul.

My thoughts turned to parts of Psalm 8 which say:

O Lord, our Lord; How majestic is thy name in all the earth. When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and stars, which thou hast ordained.

Then, He talks about the Son of God, who, of course, is Jesus and says:

He rules over the works of God’s hands and puts all things under his feet, the sheep and all the beasts of the field, the birds of the heavens and the fish of the sea.

Why didn’t I think of that when I woke up this morning? Why doesn’t everyone think of that when they wake up? Instead, we think of how bad the world has become and how divided our country is. God is still at work. If your bones and soul are a little out of kink, read Psalm 8:

O Lord, our Lord, How majestic is thy name in all the earth!
