One of my favorite music groups is Relient K and today one of their songs describes it all. "High of 75" the words go something like this...."We were talking together I said, "What's up with this weather?" Don't know whether or not how sad I just got was of my own volition. Or if I'm just missing the sun. And tomorrow, I know, will be rainy at best. And the forecast, I know, is that I'll be depressed. But I'll wait outside hoping that I'll catch sight of the sun. [Chorus:]Because on and off, the clouds have fought their control over the sky. And lately the weather has been so bi-polar and consequently so have I. And now I'm sunny with a high of 75 Since you took my heavy heart and made it light. And its funny how you find you enjoy your life when you're happy to be alive. [Chorus]And the temperature is freezing and then, after dark, there is a cold frost sweeping in over my heart and we might break up if I don't wake up to the sun [Chorus] Sunny with a high of 75 since you took my heavy heart and made it light and its funny how you find you enjoy your life when you're happy to be...Alive." Today it is fogging and 35 right now here in the big town of Levelland, Texas. And you really see on some days how the weather outside effects your mood. Take rainy days for instence, when it is rainy outside you just want to stay in bed all day or curl up in a blank and watch a good movie. When it is a beautiful spring day you want to be outside having fun. The fog makes you glumpy and sort of depressed and I am afraid that is how I am feeling today. Not really depressed but I don't want to be doing much and I am ready for that sunny day to come along. It is the same way with us Spiritually... those rainy days come around when it seems like everything is coming down around you and all you want to do is to stay in bed and hide under the covers until it all goes away. Then you have the sunny spring days when you and God are walking hand in hand laughing back and forth having a great time. Then there are the foggy days when you can't quiet see what the future holds. God is hiding or so we think. We haven't heard him in awhile and you are lost as to where you are suppose to be going and what you are suppose to be doing. But just like the song says God comes in and takes our heavy hearts and makes them light again and we get that sunny day with a high of 75. What is the weather like for you spiritually right now? Sunny...Cloudy...Rainy?
Today's verses are Job 6-11 Job is a great example of Texas weather in spiritual terms. His life starts out sunny then goes to rainy and then the fog sets in but through it all he is always looking to God and never doubts him.
