Cold Hearted

I don’t know what it is about cold and wet days, but they seem to make me tired and grouchy.  Although I can’t blame being tired on the freeze, as that blame is obviously better placed on Rachael, I can blame my boredom on it.  You see, the high point of my week is always Sunday morning.  It gives me a chance to catch up with my friends and to rejuvenate my life through worship and feasting on God and who He is.  And because of the ice on the roads we did not have our morning worship service.  No, rejuvenation for me.

So, now I’m tired.  Tired from another week at a job that I can’t stand.  Tired of arguing and fighting with people for a paycheck.  And tired of feeling unappreciated for making other people rich as I barely make it.  So, I’m tired.  And grouchy.

But I guess this should serve as a good reminder to me of what this world lacks and of all of the sufficiency that is in Christ.  I know that whatever my problem, God will see me through it. 

Romans 8:32 - He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things?

That verse doesn’t mean that God will make me rich or give me great health and an easy life all of the time, it means that He will fill me with the fullness of His glory.  That all of those things that get on my nerves about this world don’t matter, because God is my everything. 

And so, no matter what the temperature, whether it’s hot or cold, rainy or dry, God is my sufficiency.  Public worship is great, but public worship still has at its core private worship (from me, or you, to God).  No matter what happens there is rejuvenation in the Spirit of God that is not stopped or slowed down by cold and rainy days.  Let God send the rain to wash away this tired and grouchy attitude of this sinner, and may He be our joy.
