You just had a nice meal and raised your glass for a toast and then... wham, it all goes so very wrong. Things like this really do happen in life: The washer breaks, the car has a flat tire even though its raining, one of the kids puts a crayon in the pocket of your favorite shirt and the list goes on and on and on. However, even though we have problems from time to time, by and large things go OK. Its even better when you know that God is with you, helping you day by day. Read the words of the first Psalm and see if it doesn't sound good to you.Psa 23:1 Yahweh is my shepherd: I shall lack nothing.
Psa 23:2 He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters.
Psa 23:3 He restores my soul. He guides me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Psa 23:4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me. Your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
Psa 23:5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil. My cup runs over.
Psa 23:6 Surely goodness and loving kindness shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in Yahweh's house forever.
World English Bible
The world is tough out there right now and it may be even more challenging in the years ahead. Its nice to know God is watching out for me, helping and guiding all the way. Although, my cup running over does not necessarily refer to a broken mug, it still sounds like a good life; so live with enthusiasm: every day above ground is a good day, even the bad ones (because there is hope that tomorrow may be better).
