It’s been one of those days, weeks, times, where my level of internal fussiness has ramped up. I find my mind wandering down old roads with old wounds, some of which are real and some the product of borrowing trouble. I certainly don’t know why the “left turn at Albuquerque” but I do know it is not a healthy place to be.
I’ve learned over the years that I need to “capture the second thought”, that I don’t generally control the first thought but I can determine what path I choose for the second one. Capturing my thoughts is most healthy when that capture involves a redirection to God.
A quote I read this morning minded me that while my problems or concerns may change, my focus may stray, my heart may grow heavy and burdened, God is always – always – faithful. His faithfulness never, ever, changes or waivers. He leaves the ninety-nine and comes after me, the hundredth.
Every. Single. Time.
“Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord unto me.” – Thomas Chisholm
